Summer in the USA

Host an Exchange Student this July! 

New Life Church has partnered with Summer in the USA (SUSA) since 2018 to reach the unreached people of the Basque Country. SUSA connects American families with Basque teenagers, offering them the opportunity to experience the gospel in a Christian home—possibly yours! Each July, host families welcome a Basque teen for a month, creating a unique “mission trip at home” alongside other New Life families. It’s a meaningful and rewarding experience, and all it takes is an open heart and home.

If you're interested in hosting in July 2025, please contact Josh and Elaine Hochstettler or Paul and Beryl Metko for more details. We are looking for two more families to host! The deadline to sign up to host is March 31.

Special note for families with teenagers: Hosting another teen can bring unique challenges, but it’s also one of the most rewarding experiences. If you have questions, reach out to Josh!
