Ole Miss students have a passion for Haiti!

A few weeks ago I spoke at Ole Miss University to a gathering of college students from the Wesley Foundation. These students were AWESOME!! They are fired up for the Lord and are finding grand adventures on their hearts. It is my prayer that our conversations together possibly gave them one more nudge to DIVE IN!!

These students energized me with their questions and their hearts for a population of people/culture they know very little about. The students also raised money for lights for deaf families in Haiti. This group spoke to me in a powerful way when I noticed that the envelope of money was a massive stack of single dollar bills, change, and essentially, everything these college students had available.

I was reminded of the scripture that discusses people giving out of their poverty to bless others. It was evident to me that every student in that room simply emptied pockets, purses, and backpacks in order to support our work with the deaf in Haiti. WOW!!! Once again, my heartfelt thanks goes out to them for their passion.

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.

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.

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.
