1. A Godly Atmosphere
A home that is glorifying to God and edifying to the student.
2. A Room
A place for the student to sleep and study. This does not have to be a separate bedroom; it may be a room in the basement, etc. The student does need alone-time to study, so sharing a bedroom with small children will not work well but can work with an older teen as long as “study time” can be worked out.
3. Board
Three meals a day need to be provided. The student is up early and can make his or her own breakfast and a sack lunch for class. Dinner can be eaten with the family. The student is encouraged to help participate in the preparation or clean up of the dinner meal.
4. Encouragement
The host family will provide support and encouragement for the students by regular family interaction and communication.
5. Commitment
The hosting requirement for housing a student will be from October to August. These dates include a number of breaks and two ministry trips so the actual time they will spend in the home will be approximately 5-6 months.
It is a requirement for the host homes to be within a 20-25 minute drive from the Kairos Discipleship School training facility in Crystal, Minnesota.
Expectations:
1. Privacy
We ask that you and your family please respect the Kairos student’s privacy. This means only going in the student’s room when necessary.
2. Integrity
Please try to minimize the amount of time a female Kairos student would be home alone with the husband of a home or a male Kairos student alone with the wife of a home. This helps to eliminate awkward situations.
3. Flexibility
Your Kairos student will be very busy with class activities throughout the week. Please be flexible and understanding with the demands of the Kairos discipleship school.
For more information regarding host families please contact me, Erika Breiby.
Communicate:
Twice a month or more we will be in contact with each host family to maintain frequent and open feedback on any needs the host family or student may have regarding housing arrangements. Most often, this will be in the form of evaluations where you will have the opportunity to place any comments, concerns, or observations.
Fund:
We will provide each host home $200 a month to help offset expenses for meals and utilities. Months where the student will be there for half of the month, we will provide $100 for those months.
Discipline:
At no time are host families required or asked to discipline the student. Kairos disicpleship school program and the directors facilitate discipline procedures should the need arise.
Transport:
Host families are not expected to provide the student with rides or a vehicle. Students who do not have their own vehicle will car pool with other students or Reign Staff.
Toiletries and Personal Items:
Students will be responsible for their own toiletries as well as laundry supplies.
