Sharing Our Gifts: Whatever the Cost

Here at 410 Bridge we are all about service. Our organization was founded on the principles found in 1 Peter 4:10. Peter tells us “To use the gifts we have been given to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” We are very privileged to get to watch thousands of people answer Peter’s call each year. We get to see people make incredible sacrifices for the sake of serving others. Many of these people go unnoticed, their service is rarely recognized, and yet they press on.

Today we want to take a pause to honor one of our own staff, who at great cost to his personal dignity and manliness answered the call to serve. So… John Flores we salute you. You traded in your blue jeans, golf shirt, and snazzy shoes for a pair of yellow tights, a green jacket, and some really pointed shoes all for the sake of serving others.

Thanks for doing what you do, no matter the cost!

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:
