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.

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.
