We’ve been welcoming international students into our home since 2012—inviting them into our lives through homestays, family meals, local hikes, events, and activities, while also sharing the gospel story with them. As a family, our lives have been deeply enriched by friendships with people from many different cultures and faith backgrounds who have come from around the world to be in Hamilton with us.
Our goal is to make it easier for other Christians to experience these same life-giving relationships. We’re currently focused on opportunities here in Hamilton and would love to invite you to join us in welcoming international students through:
Monthly Dinners
Volunteer at monthly Hamilton International Student events or church-hosted dinners—share a meal and make new friends!
Hospitality
Connect with students by hosting in-home dinners, game nights, hikes, or other local activities.
If you live in Hamilton and would like to support our work—by spending time with students, joining us in our home, opening your home to host, or supporting us financially. You can reach out to us by filling out the Get Connected to a Local Team form (be sure to select Hamilton). We’d love to connect with you!
