What is a Host Family?
Being a host family to an International Student means opening your heart and your home to a student and allowing them to become part of your family for the semester or year! It means sharing your experiences and every day life with them. A host family helps an international student adjust to being in American and how to maneuver through the different aspects of American culture, language, and lifestyle.
Prayerfully consider if this is something you and your PHCA student would be interested in!
“Our family has LOVED being a host family! Each one we’ve grown to love and call them our “kids”. We are thrilled for them to experience America all while being exposed to a biblical worldview where God’s love, design and purpose is shared. We treasure the new experiences they have and share with us, along with the conversations and experiences that we’ve shared together with them.”
–Todd DeVaney
