Eight Days of Hope IX will help home owners of New Bern,(Pamlico County) NC rebuild after Hurricane Irene from 5/26-6/2. Volunteer Registration is now open!

Dear friend of Eight Days of Hope,

8 Days of Hope was meant to be a one-time visit to the Gulf Coast with a handful of people after Hurricane Katrina. God has allowed this ministry to blossom into so much more! On eight different occasions thousands of volunteers have ministered to people's needs and helped them put their lives back in order after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the floods in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Nashville, Tennessee. Recently, on our eighth trip, we did our first tornado recovery trip to Smithville, MS and Hackleburg, AL. Eight Days of Hope has one goal: Love people as Jesus loves us!

 
Some of the highlights from our eight trips include:

*9,515 volunteers have participated in these relief efforts!
*8 Days of Hope has remodeled, refurbished or rebuilt 1,127 homes!


$12.4 MILLION dollars of labor has been donated through 8 Days of Hope!

Volunteers from 43 states and multiple countries have shown up to work over 274,000 hours during these eight trips!

The real story behind 8 Days of Hope is the lives of homeowners and volunteers that are being changed forever through these recovery efforts. On these six trips our volunteers have come to bless others only to go home feeling like they were the ones being blessed.

In the first book of Peter, he tells us in verse 4:10 to use the gifts that God has given us to minister to one another. 8 Days of Hope plans to live this call out during our mission trips to areas affected by natural disasters.

Please continue learning more about this grass roots effort that desires hope for those in need and is willing to sacrifice in order to bring it to them.

The number 8 symbolizes "new beginnings." Our prayer is that you will feel called to make a difference with us one home and, more importantly, one life at a time. Help bring a new beginning to families who are feeling hopeless.

May God bless you as you consider how you can make a difference with Eight Days of Hope!
