The 410 Bridge is a Christ-centered, organization helping to redefine the war on poverty through community development in poverty-stricken nations such as Kenya, Guatemala, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Uganda, and the Dominican Republic.
Too often in the West, we want to help the poor without really knowing the poor. We want to change that by helping others to redefine the war on poverty on both sides of the bridge – meaning you and those we help around the world!

A Note from Our Founder
If we’ve spent any time together, you’ve probably heard me this before: pay attention to who walks through the front door.
That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.
In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
Meet Chris Joiner
Friends, what a wonderful season of growth we are experiencing here at The 410 Bridge!
For those I haven’t had yet had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Chris Joiner.
I’ve had the privilege of working at The 410 Bridge for the past two years, first as Director of International Programs, then transitioning to President in 2023. Today, I am incredibly blessed to step into the role of CEO.
As we begin this exciting journey as an organization, I want to share more about who I am, my heart for our mission, and where we are headed this year.
Introducing Chris Joiner as CEO of The 410 Bridge

Chris has served our organization for more than two years, initially as Director of International Programs and most recently as President.
