Hospitality Exchange


A new TWR Alumni’s “Hospitality Exchange” program is being offered to all TWR Alumni, designed to be a blessing to ongoing TWR ministry and to the Alumni. Here is a brief description of it, modeled after similar programs among Christian groups.

What is it? - TWR Alumni offering hospitality to other Alumni and TWR missionaries who are traveling.

Why is it? - To encourage continuing fellowship among TWR alumni and TWR missionaries, thereby encouraging continuing awareness of and prayerful support of TWR; to help TWR alumni and missionaries to travel inexpensively and with Christian friendship.

How does it work?

Host Alumni:
• Offer overnight sleeping accommodation only to Alumni travelers; one night is assumed; multiple nights may be offered if Hosts desire.
• Hosts offer clean and quiet sleeping quarters only, with bathroom privileges. Sleeping bags on floor for children may be acceptable, etc.
• No expectation of food or drink (not a Bed & Breakfast), being entertained, being travel guides.
• Hosts to feel no obligation; feel free to say ‘no’ without apology, and for any reason (family, schedule, health, etc).
• Agreed donation per night: $10 per adult, $3 per child. Leave money on night table, no negotiation. (Hosts may consider passing the donation on to TWR Alumni as a contribution.)

Guest Alumni:
Contact Host well in advance. Arrive 7-9 p.m. and leave by 9 a.m. Respect hosts’ privacy, schedule, space (e.g. bathroom usage) and quiet. Don’t use facilities not offered to you, or expect kitchen privileges, taxi service, wake-up calls, etc. Leave room clean. Assume a smoke-free, alcohol-free home. A “thank you” note would be appropriate.
