“Our vision for our international students is that they will observe living Christianity in the host home, school, and church and that they will embrace a deep faith in Christ as they develop their academic and other gifts for the future…We would like them to be servant leaders in their countries.”

“It changed my point of view of Christian and United States people. I saw the great and big country of opportunity and I realized my dream was too small for God. God is great and powerful and as God’s son, I have to be powerful and be strong like him to proclaim my father's greatness. So it was chance to have bigger dream of mine.” International Student
“We have a greater love and appreciation for the people of other nations. They are real and not so very different from us!” Host Family

“I enjoyed seeing the students interact with their American friends and participate in almost all the school activities. I enjoyed seeing the English proficiency grow each month as these students became more comfortable. Two of the students received awards that made me very pleased. I liked it that the students were able to ask me anything at any time and usually felt free to do that. One girl in particular used the e-mail connection on a regular basis and one of the students was in my church so I could see him each weekend as well.” Host School Coordinator
