Why would Eight Days of Hope bring volunteers to Tupelo, Mississippi?? (If you’re like I was 20 years ago you’re still trying to figure out exactly where Tupelo is.) Ministry in any form is a lot like a dance. You have some planned steps, but you’re willing to go where your partner leads. In the case of Eight Days of Hope the partner is Almight God. We have committed and continue to commit this ministry to Him. We believe that He has asked us to step in faith to add a dimension to this ministry that would strengthen local communities–again using the gifts and talents that He has given each of us.
We all know and agree that we could choose any community in the United States and find a sufficient number of widows and single mothers whose homes have fallen into disrepair and make a difference in their lives. We will continue to work with the local churches and encourage the community to be involved in working together. We are providing the framework for what already exists below the surface–the Body of Christ wanting and willing to work together for the Glory of God.
If you are looking for a “short” short term mission opportunity–EDOH Tupelo is for you. Join us April 16 through 20. You’ll find that Tupelo is much more than just a dot on the map. It is a place where God is at work!
