Live Your Faith, Change the World
Host an Indiana Academy Student
Our church community has a special opportunity to partner with the Indiana Academy of Math, Science and Humanities (at Ball State University) and iGoGo International, Inc. We are seeking families willing to open their homes and hearts to host high school international students during the Academy's dorm breaks.
This is a unique, part-time ministry to influence bright young students while expanding our own understanding of the world. We enthusiastically support this effort and hope you'll consider becoming a part-time host family.
About the Program:
iGoGo International, Inc. is a mission-driven student exchange organization dedicated to fostering global understanding through cultural immersion. Guided by Christ's call in Matthew 25:35, "...I was a stranger and you welcomed me," they connect students with carefully selected local families during breaks from the Indiana Academy dorms.
Your Role as a Host Family:
- Provide a welcoming "home base" for a student during scheduled breaks (usually one weekend a month, plus fall, Christmas, and spring breaks).
- Share everyday American family life – a vital form of personal diplomacy and cultural exchange.
- Live out your faith through hospitality, kindness, and faithfulness, allowing Christ to work through you.
