Daraja Alumni Retreat!

The Daraja Holiday Trip came to Kenya Dec 26-Jan 3 to facilitate the second annual Daraja Alumni Retreat.  We had SO MUCH FUN as we taught the children about their identity in Christ, how to be leaders among their students, how to stand for what they believe, confidence, managing social media in a godly way and so much more!

So many of the “children” of Daraja have grown so big! Over 14 of our students will be moving to high school this year!! WOW!

We spent 3 days with the Daraja Alumni who are 15 and under, then 3 days with those who are 16 and older. After that, we traveled to Ngaamba to encourage and build up the children who were a part of the 2011 choir. We had such a good time encouraging them that God is in control of all things and that He is still good, even though we had to cancel their 2011 tours. It was so encouraging and fun to hang out and encourage them also in their leadership skills!

Next year, we hope all of you come with us!

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.

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:
