ANOUNCEMENT
Houston, TX, December
15th, 2017 — The 4B Disaster
Response Network
(4BDRN) along with Eight
Days of Hope (EDOH) announced
that they will be
leading a major rebuilding
effort in Southeast Houston
in March 2018 to help the
area rebuild from the aftermath
of Hurricane Harvey.
March 10th through March
24th, 4BDRN and Eight Days
of Hope will bring together
volunteers from across the
nation to help rebuild hundreds
of homes. This event
is expected to be the single
largest volunteer rebuild effort
over a 15-day period in
U.S. history.
Chris Alston, Board President
of 4BDRN said, “Thousands
of families in the area
are trying to figure out how
they can rebuild their homes
because of the mass damage.
Those who are waiting
for assistance in the rebuilding
process are looking for
help, for hope. We are excited
to partner with EDOH
and local leaders to bless as
many families as possible.”
4B Disaster Response
Network exists to mobilize a
network of churches to reflect
the gospel of Jesus Christ by
serving people affected by
disaster in the 4B area (from
the Beltway to the Beach and
the Bay to Brazoria County).
Eight Days of Hope is a nonprofit,
faith-based organization
committed to rebuilding
the damaged homes of
those affected by natural disasters.
Since 2005, 27,509
Eight Days of Hope volunteers
have helped to rebuild,
remodel or refurbish 1,916
homes in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Iowa, Alabama,
North Carolina and
South Carolina on thirteen
different relief trips. To date,
more than thirty-four million
dollars of work has been
completed by Eight Days of
Hope.
EDOH President Stephen
Tybor III expects another
large turnout of volunteers
for an unprecedented backto-
back effort comprised of
the organization’s fourteenth/
fifteenth trips. “I anticipate
between 4,000 and 5,000
volunteers will travel from
over 40 states and multiple
countries to the great state of
Texas with over 50 percent of
these volunteers being electricians,
carpenters, licensed
contractors and tradesman
ready to help those in need.
We are excited to show the
love of Christ through the
gifts He has blessed us with”.
The budget for this outreach
will be close to two
million dollars. “We rely on
the generosity of individuals
and organizations to help
support the efforts of our volunteers,”
Tybor stated. “We
provide assistance to the
uninsured and the underinsured
and appreciate those
who lay the financial foundation
for this work”.
We serve all people regardless
of race, gender,
religion or ethnicity. Please
