Bridge to Haiti

Up to this point the 410 Bridge has had a single country focus, the results in the communities we serve in Kenya have been witnessed by others.  Several organizations have asked us to consider taking our model of sustainable community development into other countries. Many of those requests were in East Africa but we were also asked to consider Haiti. To this point we’ve resisted expanding outside of Kenya because of our single-country focus.

But that’s about to change…

Like you, we’ve watched the devastation of the earthquake in Haiti.  Our hearts  break for the people and the children impacted. Since the earthquake, people and churches have been contacting us to see if The 410 Bridge could help mobilize people to serve in Haiti.  After much prayer, conversation, and counsel, we realized that we couldn’t turn a blind eye to the needs of a neighbor – the poorest country in the western hemisphere – and to not leverage our gifts and resources to help would be disobedience to what God is calling us to do.

Be assured that our commitment to Kenya and our communities has never been greater.  This year we hope to grow from 12 communities to 18-20. We’ll send 900 people to Kenya on short-term trips and the Daraja Children’s Choir will continue to be the voice of our organization.

Our mission statement says this…  ”We mobilize and unify the body of Christ to enable the self-developing capabilities of the people we serve.”  It’s time to mobilize and unify.

If you feel that God is calling you to engage…  to help…  to care for the least of these… we’d like to hear from you.  Even if that call sounds more like a whisper, if you have an interest in serving in Haiti over the next few months, we would love for you to apply for one of our service trips to Haiti.  If you want to contribute financially to help our relief effort you can to that by clicking the donate button at the bottom of this page.
