GCS Invites Families to Host International Students

1 week ago

" An Invitation to Open Your Home: Host an International Student for 2026–2027 Dear GCS Families, As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, I am reaching out with a prayerful request that is deeply close to my heart and to the mission of Gaston Christian School. The Lord continues to open doors through our International Program in humbling and exciting ways. We are seeing a growing number of students from around the world, Brazil, Spain, Germany, China, Nigeria, and Honduras, who desire to be part of a Christ-centered school community. Each application represents more than interest; it represents a life, a story, and a student made in the image of God. As this program grows, so does our need for host families. One of the greatest factors in how many students we can welcome is whether we have families willing to open their homes. We never want to turn away the right student simply because we do not have a place for them to belong. Many of these students are searching for more than academics. They are looking for stability, guidance, and genuine connection. Hosting is not about perfection; it is about creating space, showing grace, and reflecting the love of Christ in the everyday rhythms of family life. As Romans 12:13 tells us, we are called to “practice hospitality,” and 1 Peter 4:9 encourages us to do so with willing hearts. I also want to be honest; hosting is a ministry, and ministry is not always easy. It requires flexibility, patience, and sacrifice. But as believers, we are called to do hard things for the sake of the Gospel, trusting that obedience is always worth it. Galatians 6:9 reminds us not to grow weary in doing good, knowing that in due season, there is a harvest. I invite you to prayerfully consider whether your family might be called to host an international student during the 2026–2027 school year. If you feel even a small nudge, I would love to talk, answer questions, and pray with you as you consider this step. Thank you for being a community that seeks to love well, serve faithfully, and reflect Christ both locally and globally. With gratitude and in His service, Amanda Knight Would You Let a Stranger Live With You? – Article by John Piper MORE NEWS AND EVENTS SIGN UP FOR OUR SCHOOL BLOG Success!
