The Missionary Program

Eight Days of Hope is blessed with many wonderful volunteers from all around the country and even the world — many of whom have followed Eight Days of Hope on multiple rebuilding events and rapid response trips. Because of the commitment volunteers show to serve God and serve others, we felt called to launch our own missionary program.

Called to Serve

  • Our missionaries are volunteers who, through their own fundraising, selflessly serve others with EDOH across the country.
  • Eight Days of Hope works with Global Service Network to help our missionaries raise funds to serve year-round and provides unique access to professional leadership training opportunities.
  • We require a total of three outreaches with Eight Days of Hope, as well as being a part of our National Leadership Program, before one can apply for the missionary program. Each applicant must be connected with a local church.

In the Words of Our Missionaries

When we submit to God’s calling, amazing transformations happen. Not just in us but in those who we share God’s love with. Whether it is a homeowner, neighbor or a team member.

- Fred and Sandy Westover

So thankful that we stepped out in faith to follow God's calling for our life. To be the hands and feet of Jesus. Being in God's will for my life changed me. Some people say "ohana" means family, I say Eight Days of Hope means family.

- Gary and Lacey Wilkins

Eight Days of Hope has allowed me to meet all kinds of people. To hear the stories of these survivors touches me so much. Some have Jesus and some don't. But to be a part of sharing Jesus, being His hands and feet and following the path He has for me is amazing. I have so much peace and joy in serving.

- Dave Sanson

God has fulfilled a need for community through 8DOH. I‘ve met SO many people that love and serve Jesus who I now call my 8 Days family. But, on an even deeper level, I have a core group of women in similar life stages who I text with daily and meet with virtually once a month to encourage and pray with. We serve with each other as much as possible too!
