Become a Homestay Host

Missio Seminary is eager to recruit qualified, Christ-centered homestay family partners for our international students.

Through this golden opportunity, our international students will have a chance to learn about many American cultural practices by partaking in family traditions. Homestaying will also provide safe learning environments to try out new English words and practice the English language. Living in a family environment can help our international students learn how Americans live out the gospel in their daily lives.

Our suggested monthly homestay price, including utilities and internet, is as follows–though you may negotiate it with the individual student(s).

  • $500 – no meals
  • $700 – one meal per day
  • $800 – two meals per day
