Hosts Needed for 2024-25

Sign with a wooden look that says Welcome to our Home

Looking for a great way to share the Gospel and learn about a different culture? Consider hosting an international student!


There are at least 25 international students who are waiting to hear whether or not they can attend FVL because they do not yet have hosts. Applicants are from China, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Italy, Thailand, and France.


Students pay their own expenses, and host families receive a stipend to offset costs. Without host families, this ministry is not possible, and we lose the chance to share the Gospel with these students.


Email Monica Uhlenbrauck at international@fvlhs.org for more information on these or other new international students.

Consider hosting an international student!

  • Do you want to share your faith with teens who might not otherwise hear about God's grace?
  • Would you like to learn about other cultures in the comfort of your home?
  • Does your family enjoy new experiences?
