Here is an update from our Kenya Country Director, Andrew Guuru, on the Kawamaitha classroom progress in Karima.
Here are photos of the ongoing classroom construction at Kawamaitha primary school in Karima. The masons are doing the final touches on the outer walls with the inner wall plastering complete. We have a US team arriving in the community this weekend that will be working on the floors. The classrooms will be in use in 2 weeks time.
Thanks,
Andrew
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.
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.
We are pleased to announce Chris Joiner as the new 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. In both roles, Chris has demonstrated a commitment to servant-leadership and a deep passion for Christ-centered community development. As President, Chris pioneered our expansion into three new countries this year: Indonesia, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.
