🌍 Host an International Student This Summer

Open your home. Expand your world. Make an eternal impact.

This summer, Live Oaks Community Church is inviting families to host English-speaking international students from France and Spain for a short-term, life-changing experience.

Program Dates

We have four hosting opportunities available:

  • 1st Group: June 25 – July 14
  • 2nd Group: June 25 – July 21
  • 3rd Group: July 16 – August 4
  • 4th Group: July 23 – August 11

Each stay is approximately 2½ weeks, giving you a meaningful but manageable opportunity to invest in a student’s life.

What This Experience Looks Like

  • Welcome a student into your home
  • Share meals, conversations, and everyday life
  • Help them experience American culture and community
  • Build friendships that often last far beyond the summer

Students come eager to grow in their English, experience life in the U.S., and connect with a caring host family.

Why Host?

This is more than hospitality—it’s ministry.

  • Make a global impact without leaving your home
  • Reflect Christ’s love in a personal, tangible way
  • Give your family a shared, meaningful experience
  • Create lifelong memories and relationships

You don’t need a perfect home—just a willing heart.

What’s Expected of Host Families?

  • Provide a safe and welcoming environment
  • Provide a bed for each student (Can host more than 1 per home)
  • Be open to building a relationship and offering encouragement
  • Provide breakfast and dinner ( Some weekends they will be on excursions)

Our team will walk with you every step of the way.
