SUNDAY, AUGUST 2

If you are interested in being a host for Neighbors International, please stop by the display in the lobby to have a conversation and have any questions answered!

WILL YOU BE A FRIENDSHIP FAMILY?

Neighbors International is partnering with Wellspring Church to provide much-needed friendship and care for some of our newly arriving 1600 GVSU international college students! As a Friendship Family/partner, you will be assigned a student(s) who lives close to you and shares similar interests. We are looking for families/individuals age 30 or older who are willing to meet with their student(s) at least once a month and talk with them at least once a week. You can have them to your home for dinner, take them to fun activities, or help them find warm winter clothing.

Please consider helping to ease the loneliness and culture shock that many of these students face as they arrive in a new country.

  • Open your home for a home cooked meal

  • Help your student shop for warm winter clothing

  • Celebrate holidays and their birthday!

  • Engage in fun monthly activities

  • Ease their homesickness and loneliness

INTERESTED IN BEING A FRIENDSHIP FAMILY?

For more information or to sign up, please email Sonja at neighbors_international@calvarygr.org or visit their information table set up at Wellspring on Neighbors International Sunday on August 2. The team will be available to answer all questions and to help you fill out an application after both services.
