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.
