Water flowing in Leveque!

As we mentioned yesterday, there is so much going on in 410 Communities in Kenya and Haiti that sometimes its hard to keep up without overwhelming all of you wonderful people!  So, this week, we are catching up on Kyle Reschke’s updates from 410 Haiti.  Thank you, Kyle, for keeping us so well informed from your blog as God works in Haiti!!

As I have written all along, I think the most important thing to remember regarding the water in Leveque is that it is being run as a community asset, overseen by members of the community. I must give a HUGE shout out to Rachael Jankowski who works with Mission of Hope and has been truly awesome in coordinating efforts and keeping everyone on the same page throughout recent months. This water system will be providing clean drinking water for thousands of people in the area – and it bears mentioning again that this is just Phase 1 of the water solution for the community. As the surrounding communities come to realize that this is the cheapest and cleanest drinking water in the entire area, the need for expansion and creative efforts in increasing volume will be necessary. For today, I think we shall just take this step back, enjoy the work that has been done, and thank the Lord for this life giving water in Leveque. Tomorrow, we will be back to work in moving forward

Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.

Learnings From Kiu, Kenya

Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006. 

At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
