Volunteers
But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me. With your faithful help
-
That the Spirit may move upon the hearts of others to give of their time in service to share love and hope
-
For safety in their travels and in their work
-
For strength and wisdom for the task ahead. For those who work long-term organizing local recovery efforts after disasters
-
For the men at Huntersfield Christian Training Center in the Discover Life Ministry - that they have continued grace to grow spiritually and learn new life skills for their recovery
- Specifically for Alan as he join us as a long term volunteer in Pamlico County

Scheduling your trip
The group maximum for The Call to Build is 10 volunteers.
We are passionate about ensuring that you have a good volunteer experience and that the time you contribute is used productively.
We are often working on multiple homes. If you have more than 5 volunteers in your group please plan appropriate transportation for at least two separate work crews.
Various Churches are providing volunteer housing through the local Hopkins County Long Term Recovery Committee and volunteers will be asked to complete their registration paperwork.
A Certificate of Insurance from your group's sponsoring institution will be required prior to your arrival
To volunteer please contact us for availability of weeks and to schedule your trip and we will coordinate housing with Hopkins Long Term Recovery.
The facilities and arrangements for most of the Churches is similar. More specific information will be provided once your housing location has been identified. Please Visit the "What to Bring" tab for more general information...
