My Daraja Internship by Amanda

Christi Baker, the Daraja Tour Leader is leaving for Kenya today to go and meet the 2010 choir. Most of the new choir is coming from Kwambekenya. We are very excited for this years choir! Please pray for Christi as she travels and meets the new choir. And pray that God would continue to work in the lives of the kids and that God would be preparing their hearts for worship! Also please continue to lift up Abu, Grace, Linah and Dan (our returning Kenya staff) in prayer as they are preparing for the 2010 tours.

In honor of Daraja, here is another intern experience we would like to share with you….

I would have to say that the greatest thing about the Daraja internship would have to be having the chance to be a witness to the powerful and amazing impact that God has on the lives of every single person that becomes included into the Daraja family.  The adults, the interns, the kids, the host homes, the 410 staff and the thousands of people that witness the love of Christ through Daraja .  There will never be words to describe that kind of love. It is a love that only comes from the love of Christ. Being a part of that was an amazing opportunity that He allowed me to be involved in.  Although Daraja changes the lives of so many people that we come in contact with throughout a tour, it is an amazing blessing to watch Him work in the lives of the kids. Through this internship, I learned that I must always remember that He has control of everything.  That no matter what people think, what people say and what people believe about me and my relationship with the Lord, they can never take that away. I know His love is forever.  I saw that kind of love everyday with Daraja.

Being a part of a Global Missions team, I have had the opportunity to help send teams to Kenya but never experience it myself.  The teams always came back bonded and something was different.

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.
