Gifting Hope

This Christmas, The 410 Bridge partnered with you to send classic storybooks to the children of Kenya. In just a few short days, these books will be delivered, bringing hope and joy to hundreds of kids. Their families and community will also enjoy the books and we hope that a culture of reading and family time will begin to grow in the 410 Bridge communities.

Inside each book is a personal note from each of the people who donated. Some are typed, some are handwritten, but each one is a message of hope and friendship. Here is one of the many notes that we received to go inside of the books, encouraging evidence of your love for the children and your hopeful wishes and prayers for their lives! Thank you!!

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.
