When Eight Days of Hope comes to the Gulf Coast we do so with a rumble and a roar. Our volunteers have been excited and the enthusiasm has grown each day. Our volunteers are productive and the number of jobs they’ve done has continued to increase. To the homeowners these volunteers are like “angels”. Our volunteers are committed to excellence; not for the sake of excellence, but for the sake of bringing glory to God. Our volunteers are passionate; not just about the work, but about making a difference for Jesus Christ in the life of someone else. Our volunteers may also be tired, but not weary; missing family members left behind, but not lonely; and daunted by the magnitude of the work to be done, but not frustrated. Eight Days of Hope volunteers gain a clear picture of the mission follow and the God we serve.
