International Student Program Host Family Opportunities
- July 22nd-27th - We have students from the Nanhai Experimental School coming from China for our summer stay visit again this year. Please mark your calendar's and let us know if you would like to host 1-4 students or if your middle school students would like to be a delegate for the program. We don't have the total of number of students coming yet but we will know soon. We are anticipating at least 50 students this year!
- September 30th-October 3rd - CCA will be hosting 42 high school girls for a short three day stay. These young ladies will be performing for CCA students and will stay through the weekend. We are asking that host families would house two girls at each home. There will be a small stipend provided for each host family.
Being a host is a great way to share Jesus! Check out this video to see what others say about their experience.
Please contact Rondy Thurlow for a Host Family application today!

CCA has partnered with Fred Meyer and AmazonSmile in an opportunity to raise money. For Fred Meyer customers, it is as easy as linking your rewards card.

By taking a few simple steps you may aide in the raising of funds. For more information about the necessary steps, see our flyer.
