EIGHT DAYS OF HOPE....
comes to town to help rebuild homes with flood damage.


Above is the founder of 8 DOH. Volunteers from all around the country, Canada, and our city came to help with 8DOH. Homeowners whose houses sustained major damage had to sign up ahead of time for this volunteer help. Many, many people are still not in their houses and many are feeling hopeless. 8DOH brought hope...all in Jesus' name.

When a job was completed, its paper was hung on the wall. Several jobs composed a cross, and there were several crosses on the walls in the room




Returning to church in the evening after putting in a full day. Where does the paperwork go?




Quite the organization!!!




Let's see...it's gotta be here somewhere




Finally. Now to get in the line for supper

Walking to the car after the end of the day. A homeowner (on the left) who received welcome help from 8DOH and her brother and sister. They were much encouraged. It has been a very long 5 months...and continues for many others yet.
