Ndibai Community Update

During this time in history, the world is experiencing opportunities to innovate how we serve and love one another. Thanks to the generosity of our partners and the dedication and creativity of the Ndibai Leadership Council and the 410 Bridge staff, there is an abundance of good work being done in Ndibai to care for each community member.

COVID-19 Food Kit Distribution

Approximately 200 vulnerable households in Ndibai received the benefit of food kits to relieve the food insecurity worsened by the pandemic. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and who continues to give to the COVID-19 relief fund; these food kits supply approximately 30 days worth of beans, maize, rice, cooking oil, soap, and educational health materials.

Masks and Health Education

In addition to emergency food relief, there is a Business Start-Up Training graduate, named Milcah, that has begun sewing masks for the community. Each food kit also contains information on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Education

Lastly, the pandemic will not stop the end of year exams from taking place this fall. Ndibai students in class 8 received practice KCPE test kits so that they could practice and prepare as best they can for this important test.

Please continue to pray for Ndibai in these specific ways:

  • For the spiritual, emotional, and physical health of the community
  • For the Leadership Council and churches as they guide their communities through this time
  • For rain, in just the right amount, during the planting season to yield crops that will help feed families in the community

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.

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:
