Day 5

It's hard to believe, but the days keep getting better and better. Day 5 is now over, and it was the best yet. Over 100 jobs have been completed so far! These folks are incredible! You can click on the photo above to see a slide show of the day.

The hi-light for me was hearing the introductions of the home owners. George, the 70 year old who prayed to received Christ several days ago, joined us for dinner. He received a standing ovation! It was an awesome experience.

The testimonies during worship were also awesome. Several home owners shared with this has meant to them. One shared that this has renewed her spirituality and that she's going to work on a relationship with God! Another young girl talked about what it was like being evacuated from her home, questioning God and worrying about her future. She said she doesn't doubt God anymore!

Money can't buy what we have experienced this week. We can't organized it, explain it or completely understand it. We can only enjoy it. God's presence has been on this project, helping us overcome every obstacle.

And a huge praise. We received this email from Jim Thatcher from Code Enforcement.

Thank you Steve, Charles, and Kim and to all of 8 Days of Hope and their support volunteers.

GREAT JOB!!!! I hope that 8 Days of Hope is enjoying their visit and service to God as much as we enjoy having 8 Days of Hope here! Thank you to ALL the volunteers for serving our community in such an awesome way! I'm not at Westdale often, yet I personally heard a couple of citizens complimentary to 8 Days of Hope for helping them!!

Please join me in thanking these incredible servants.
