TEMPORARY HOST FAMILIES NEEDED

The NET Ministry team will be in the OKANAGAN for the Week of February 12^th to 17^th.

On Wednesday 15^th February they will be with our grade 11 students at ICC and on Thursday 16^th they will be with the grade 10 students at SCG. Monday 13^th of February they will be at St. Joseph’s.

We are in need of Host Families to look after the NET Ministry team from Sunday 12^th February to Thursday 16^th inclusive.

More information about the team and their needs while here in Kelowna are below.

What Is A Host Family?

A host family is a vital part of the mission of NET! Without you, our teams would not be able to reach the youth and proclaim the Gospel each year.

The nature of this unique ministry provides an opportunity for missionaries to stay with host families and minister to the family members personally.

Experience has shown that both missionaries and families have benefited from their time together.

What A Host Family Does:

● Provides breakfast, lunch (sometimes bagged), and dinner during the team member’s stay.

● Provides a place for the missionaries to sleep for the duration of their stay. Missionaries are prepared to sleep on couches and floor spaces if need be (ie. they have sleeping bags and pillows).

There will be 8 members of the NET team coming to Kelowna.

For More information please contact Mike Wilson email: mwilson@cisnd.ca cell: 250-859-6718.
