Go Global! Be a Host Family...

The people of Walther have opened their arms to students from around the world. We are excited about the opportunity to bring more international students into our fellowship. Our responsibility is to find homes for the kids and provide them with a place to encounter Jesus every day. Would you consider having student live with your family? There is a monthly stipend for expenses and you will receive the richness that comes from extending the Kingdom to the entire world -- one student at a time.
