Meet Lydia Ahwaruguru!

In 2009, we sent over 700 people to Kenya.  In 2010 we expect to send over 1000 more.  That is a lot of people!  It is amazing to see the impact that a 10 day trip to Kenya can have on a person…perspectives change, priorities shift, and life change happens.  When people return and tell the stories of their trips and give us feedback, one of the most common things we hear is the impact their Kenyan trip leader had on the team.  Our trip leaders are incredible, they serve hard, lead well, and love the Lord.  They have an incredible responsibility, and we are so grateful for their service.  I love the fact that they do not think of themselves as “tour guides” but they see themselves as missionaries to our teams and our communities.  With that said… Meet Lydia.  Lydia is one of our Kenya team leaders serving the Lord by leading 410 Bridge service trip participants to build relationships and be the hands and feet of Jesus.  We could not do what we do without people like Lydia.
