This year, our volunteer effort is different. While we’re not working on just one house as a whole team, we’re affecting and contributing to about 60 homes as we prepare materials for them. In that process, we’ve been able to work with volunteers from all over the country, from different walks in life.
Kevin shares his experiences.
During our first few days here in Biloxi, I have had the privilege of meeting many interesting people. From college students to retirees, these people all have one thing in common…a heart for service. It is a real blessing to see people from all walks of life and from all over the country working together to help those in need. I have always considered myself to be a person with a servant’s heart but after meeting these people I am beginning to find out what it really means to be unselfish and to put other people’s needs first.
I have to admit that the work is a lot more demanding than what I had originally expected which is evidenced by the fact that I am sore in places that I never even knew existed. However, knowing that my efforts (no matter how small) are an integral part of HFHGC’s grand plan of continuing to create housing opportunities for families here in the Gulf Coast is very rewarding and will hopefully help me to continue to grow in my desire to become a true servant.
