Why Come on a Mission Trip to Kenya?
A mission trip is not just a one-week experience to check a box. An intentional mission trip that is outcome-driven provides an opportunity to bring out Philippians 2:2-11 for the restoration of dignity and fulfilling purpose so that people can walk in freedom.
A mission trip, The 410 Way, is a catalyst that can propel us into action by changing our perspective of how we view the world, how we view our world.
My Journey to Kahuria
I’ve always asked “Why is Kenya so different?” “What makes it so special?”
Being a part of a Global Missions team, I have had the opportunity to help send teams to Kenya but never experience it myself. The teams always came back bonded and something was different.
