World Water Day

Today is World Water Day.  A day of the year set aside to raise awareness and remind us of the global crisis that is a reality for over 1 billion people.  So today we remember those who suffer, with no access to clean water to drink.

It’s a nice gesture… but what about tomorrow, the day after that, next month?

The 410 Bridge serves in 12 communities in Kenya most of which don’t need a World Water Day to remind them of the reality that they live with every day.  As we work to help enable the self-developing capabilities of the people we serve, water is not only something to drink, it is the foundation their sustainability as a community is built on.  Water impacts health care, education, enterprise, and ultimately the spiritual development within a community.

Our goal is to work through local churches and indigenous leadership in 410 Bridge communities to partner together to find long-term sustainable solutions to the water problems in each community.

We can’t do this alone…

H2O4K (Water for Kenya) was created to give people just like you the opportunity to be a part of the solution to the water crisis in Kenya.  Check out the video and a link for more information below for three different ways to get involved.

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:
