Mission statement

Eight Days of Hope is a Christian, nonprofit organization that exists to love and serve those in need.


Statement of faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and constitutes completed and final revelation.

The Bible, in its original autograph, is without error in whole and part; including theological truths as well as geographical and historical details.

We believe God has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God, having come in human flesh, being fully God and fully man, except without sin.

We believe all men are in violation of God's righteous requirements and His holy character both by nature and act: and are therefore under His wrath and just condemnation. The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man's sin through His substitutionary death on the cross and subsequent, visible, bodily resurrection.

We believe salvation is offered as a gift: free to the sinner. The gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone.

History

In 2005, Eight Days of Hope (EDOH) started with a phone call from a father to a son after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The idea was for a few people to take a trip to the Gulf Coast to rebuild a home or two. What happened was a volunteer effort of 684 people loving and serving 84 families - something only God could do.

It eventually became a movement through which He would touch tens of thousands of people's lives and impact communities forever.

The number eight in the bible means "new beginnings". When we considered the real reason, we were going to the coast, it wasn't necessarily about rebuilding the damaged homes - it was about sharing the hope of our God. And hence, the name "Eight Days of Hope" was born.

Since then, EDOH has gone on 19 rebuilding events. These trips occur months after a disaster and include roofing, carpentry, electrical, painting, and more. EDOH has now rebuilt over 9,300 homes in the aftermath of these disasters, totaling $72 million dollars of work, for free.

In 2014, EDOH started a Rapid Response arm to respond 48-72 hours after a disaster strikes with tasks such as gutting homes and tarping roofs. EDOH has deployed this arm 49 times in the past eight years.

In 2016, EDOH added a Distribution Ministry, feeding ministry, shower ministry, and laundry ministry. The distribution ministry serves as a conduit for large companies to donate products that are no longer being used, which EDOH then allows churches for free to help their communities. The feeding, shower, and laundry ministries often accompany rebuilding and rapid response trips, but the trailers are also available for churches to use when they are not being utilized by EDOH.

In 2018, EDOH put the plans in place to build a National Headquarters in Tupelo, Mississippi. The headquarters opened in May 2019. We also eventually opened a Northeast Satellite in Buffalo, NY, and a Midwest Satellite in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

In the fall of 2019, EDOH launched our newest arm of the ministry: building or remodeling safe houses for survivors of human trafficking. EDOH is currently building our 13th safe house for those rescued from sex trafficking. Our current safe house is a nine-month project, and it involves 12 buildings on a beautiful campus in Ohio. Safe Harbor will be the largest safe house for children who have been rescued in the Northeast. It is a $6.5 million dollar project.


Program accomplishments

To date, we've had over 51,000 volunteers come from across the globe to spread God's joy and serve His people through EDOH. EDOH has donated over $72 million dollars of donated labor.


Needs

We couldn't do what we do without you. We wouldn't have witnessed the thousands of smiles of those touched by the hope of Jesus. Or the restoration of homes from the rubble. Or the coming together of communities united by God's love and strength. Your financial support allows us to love and serve those in need.
