There are 2 ways to get involved:
1. Be a Host Home
Be part of a wonderful opportunity this summer by opening your “Host Home” to two Chinese students or leaders. While in your home, the Chinese students will be immersed in your daily life, the English language, the American culture, and most importantly, your walk with Christ.
These students are a great group of young men and women - ages 13-16 - drawn for this program from schools across Sichuan. With thousands of applicants, only 300 are selected based on academic strength, behavioral discipline, and cultural communication.
What Is Expected of a Host Home?
Transportation to (9:00 am) and from (3:30 pm) the church Monday through Friday
(carpooling is an option!) Meals for the students, except lunch during the week and Wednesday nights when they are on campus where they will be taught English, US History, American Government, as well as classes on our American culture and religion , mmerse them into your family’s lifestyle, Share your Christian values and beliefs
What is Not Expected of a Host Home?
You will not incur expenses for field trips, medical or any extra expenses the students might have while in your home
You will not be expected to make major medical decisions regarding the students in your home
Other Helpful Information
The students attend a week long orientation seminar in Chengdu prior to
departing China. They are trained in manners, skills and become
familiar with our laws and currency. They are held to the highest standards of
behavior and respect by their government.
This is a great mission opportunity for you and your family!
Info Meetings are June 2nd & June 30th at 7:30 to 8:15 pm in the Parlor!

2. Be a "Buddy"
Have your 7-12 th grade students serve as a "buddy" for a Chinese Student. We are looking for 100 students to serve as a partner for 1-2 Chinese students while they are here on campus. Sit next to them in student events, make them feel comfortable, share your faith with them. Students can sign up in our Weekend Bible Studies after Beach Retreat!
