Meet Masyuko!

Meet Masyuko, a first grader at Uvunye Primary School in Ngaamba.  Masyuko is one of the many Kenyan children available for sponsorship with The 410 Bridge.  Masyuko lives with his parents in the community of Ngaamba and has one brother and one sister.  He likes to play football and compete in running races with his friends (what little boys DON’T like to do this?!).  His favorite subject in school is Social Studies and Masyuko wants to be an engineer when he grows up.  At home, he helps around the house by fetching water and looking after the family’s animals.

Through child sponsorship, Masyuko will be given the opportunity to have a quality education, which is often hard to come by in Kenya.  The 410 Bridge has been actively working through our education programs to ensure additional qualified teachers are hired, students have their own textbooks (sometimes, 4-5 children share a textbook), infrastructure is in place to actively support the program, feeding programs are provided so children don’t have to return home (and possibly not come back) for lunch and clean water is provided to the school.  All of these things can be barriers for a quality education, but child sponsorship helps knock them down!

If you have been with us on a trip to Kenya or just love Kenya (like we do!), check out the Kenyan communities we have up for sponsorship and join with us in providing opportunity for these children!

When Faith Becomes Action: The Story of Los Jazmines

Two years ago, in a small community in Guatemala, a group of women and two gentlemen took a bold step of faith. They didn’t have a business plan or financial background. What they had was a shared desire—for something different, something better. They wanted to grow. They wanted to believe. And most of all, they wanted to act on their faith.

That’s how Los Jazmines was born.

At first, it was a simple savings group, supported by 410 Bridge. A place where members could learn to manage money and build a safety net. But it didn’t stay simple for long. It quickly transformed into something much deeper—a place of prayer, discipleship, encouragement, and miracles.

Bringing Urgent Relief to Nicaragua’s Flooded Communities

In the remote villages along the rivers of Nicaragua, life is changing—and not for the better.

Recent floods have devastated entire communities, displacing families, destroying food supplies, and washing away crops that were meant to sustain them for months to come. The villages of Makantaka, Makantakita, Company Crick, Dakban, Guadalupe, Kansas City, Betania, Angloamerica, and La Esperanza have been hit especially hard. Over 80 families in each village are now facing an uncertain future.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen flooding in this region—but those on the ground are calling this situation uniquely devastating.

Homes are unlivable. Crops are gone. Hunger is growing.

The Story of Edy Josué Ruiz

When Edy Josué Ruiz arrived at the rehabilitation center in 2018, his life was marked by loneliness and the pain of his father’s absence. He didn’t speak, didn’t play, and found refuge in silence. But God had a plan for him.

The rehabilitation center provided the support he needed through speech therapy, motor skills development, and psychological counseling. However, it was the love and faith he encountered there that truly transformed his heart. Thanks to the therapists and their dedication, Edy began to open up—he learned to speak, to smile, and most importantly, to find peace through his faith in Jesus.

Community leaders also played a key role in Edy and his mother’s journey. Through their constant support, prayers, and encouragement, they offered spiritual and emotional strength. The community became a fundamental pillar in his transformation.
