At the 410 Bridge, we believe that our personal relationship with God is directly proportionate to our service to His people. He has commanded us to use what is given to us to serve His people, and this command is the crux of our organization. Our staff is comprised of people who recognize God’s call to service and who want to answer that call by using their gifts to minister to others. We share a heart for the nation of Kenya and a passion to build lasting relationships with the people we encounter there in an effort to help spur them on to change. We believe that a network of committed U.S. churches partnering with communities and villages in a single country in Africa can make a difference. We believe that this focused, single country approach will not only change the lives of God’s children in Africa, but also transform the hearts and minds of the American church through service to His Kingdom.
- An organization was created that leveraged its relationships with hundreds of thousands of people who were educated and challenged to make a difference in one country in Africa?
- A committed network of churches decided to focus on key problem areas in one country in Africa?
- Those churches partnered with communities in one country in Africa such that they might meet and work together to discover and address the needs of that community?
- Those with a heart for Africa had a relevant and exciting outlet that provided the means for them to actually put their passion into action?
- The people involved in this, the worst crisis the world has ever seen, could address the issues of the present while providing a hope for not only this life but for the eternity beyond?
Could we move the needle in that one country in such a way that the rest of the world would take notice and ask, "What happened there? Why is that country different?"
Imagine.
As you explore our website, we hope you will discover not only the great needs that exist in our world, but the opportunities God has given us to meet those needs.
