Meet Phoebe Maina!

We really believe in partnership!  Our organization was founded on the idea that God has given each of us gifts and that we are to use those gifts to serve others, and in doing so we are administering God’s grace. (1 Peter 4:10)  We realize that God has given us gifts and a calling as an organization.  We also realize that the calling God has given us is much bigger than we could pull off on our own (which is a really good thing!). We know that we need Him and we need others to use their gifts to help us fulfill our calling while they fulfill theirs (Partnership).  We are not experts in education, health care, water… etc., so we want to partner with people who are.  One of those partners is BrightPoint for Children. BrightPoint is a child sponsorship organization that is working to remove the barriers students have in receiving a quality education.  They are really good at doing what they do, so we are excited about our partnership with them.  Through our partnership, we are impacting nearly 4,000 students in 410 Bridge Communities.

Phoebe Maina is the Program Manager for BrightPoint for Children in Kenya.  She works very closely with our 410 bridge staff to ensure that students in our communities have access to a quality education.  She works so closely with our team in Kenya, that we really see her as part of our team.

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:
