El Triunfo Community Update

This is an update straight from our staff in Guatemala!

Project/Programs Currently Running:

  • Restrooms project at El Triunfo, Primary School.
  • Round tables with Guatemala Próspera.
  • Organizational strengthening

Latest update for the community as a whole:

1) Restroom project at El Triunfo, Primary school, this endeavor project was done with the help of the church Dallas Bible. The LC from El Triunfo, community members, school parents board and kids were involved in this project. The school did not have restrooms in good conditions and boys and girls had to use the same facilities.

2) Round Tables with Guatemala Próspera, this is a 30 weeks program, following John C. Maxwell book “La transformacion está en Mi”. This discipleship program wants to look for values in Leaders and decision-makers in our communities. Leaders from El Triunfo will be part of the first workshop September the 25th so later they can do round tables with 5 more people from their community so the impact will be bigger.

3) Organizational strengthening, for more than two years, 410 bridge has been working alongside with community leaders such as pastors, authorities, catholic leaders, women representative from El Triunfo. By strengthening them socially, organizationally and spiritually we hope they can work on their own development and succeed as a community.

How can we be praying for the community?

  • Pray for the community Leaders to be wise at making decisions.
  • Pray for the population of El Triunfo, for their health and wellness.

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:
