Daraja Alumni Leadership Retreat!

Last week was the Daraja Alumni Retreat in Kenya… one of the highlights of my year! For the next few days, I’d love to share with you updates on the Daraja Choir alumni and all that God did on the Alumni retreat…

The theme of this year’s retreat was “God as our Father”. We really felt like there was beginning to be a big disconnect between the children’s identity in their earthly father and their understanding of who God is as their heavenly Father. We took a team of 21 people from the U.S. and worked together to create a curriculum for the coming year that reinforced the ideas that we covered on the retreat. It was amazing to see all of the Daraja alumni interact and study the Word together…

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:
