Holiday Open Team Meets to Plan Christmas in Kenya

Team Meeting
(L to R) Juli Bradley (Trips Assistant 410 Bridge), Edward Phillips (19A trip participant), Sara Terry (19A trip participant), Shayla Davis (410 Staff member and 19A trip leader), and Sharon Snyder (19A trip participant)

Last night (Monday, 12/7/09) The 410 Bridge hosted a team meeting for our Holiday Open Trip members.  A few of the team members were able to make it in person and almost all of the rest of the team chimed in by conference call.  It was a great time of fellowship and sharing updates for this team’s Christmas in Kenya itinerary.  The team members were excited to hear that they will be helping two different communities (Joska and Kwambekenya) pack and sort through the Christmas in Kenya gifts.  The team will also get to hand out gifts which will most likely take place in the children’s homes or during community home visits.  As we close in on our fund raising deadline (12/17/09) here in the states, we will be able to solidify these plans and will have even more details to share with the team.  Our team members are so excited about this opportunity and feel blessed to be a part of such a unique 410 Bridge trip experience!

One Day At Church

One day at church I felt a calling or a nudge that God wanted me to serve in a different way. I looked through my church’s opportunities and as soon as I saw Kenya I felt a wash of joy flood over me. I applied that day and was overjoyed to hear shortly back that I had been accepted to go. Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.

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:
