HOW IT WORKS
WHETHER OPENING THEIR HOMES OR TRAVELING THEMSELVES,
OUR MEMBERS SHARE A MEAL OR OVERNIGHT STAYS OF 1-2 NIGHTS.
A CANDLE IN THE WINDOW HOSPITALITY NETWORK IS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLDS WHO OPEN THEIR HOMES TO ONE ANOTHER FOR A MEAL AND/OR FREE OVERNIGHT STAYS OF 1-2 NIGHTS.
The low annual membership is only $100 for an entire household. That is less than the cost of a hotel, yet lasts an entire year. You can also sign up for a two-year membership costing only $150.
As we have already said, it’s not just about saving money! As God engineers your paths, we pray that new friendships might be forged and the stories of God’s faithfulness recounted around countless dinner tables.

MEMBERSHIP TYPE
STANDARD MEMBERSHIP
Our members stretch across six continents and 140 countries. Join our community and become a member today!
Our purpose in launching A Candle in the Window Hospitality Network was to help facilitate biblical hospitality; therefore, all memberships are reciprocal—you are signing up to both host and travel.
That said, we realize some members are unable to open their homes to overnight guests. When completing your member profile, you can choose to host conversational dinners only or both dinners and overnight stays.
OPTION 1: One Year Membership: $100
OPTION 2: Two Year Membership: $150
MEMBERSHIP TYPE
MISSIONARY MEMBERSHIP
Full-time and retired missionaries can also join for FREE and receive a lifetime membership; a small token of our appreciation for your years of faithful service. Karen Maines, in her book Open Heart, Open Home, reminds us of the blessings of hosting missionaries:
“You can be a part of the kingdom, though you may not be on the front lines. Think of your home as a behind-the-lines supply depot, a resting place away from the heat of the battle. Find ways to use the good things the Lord has given you to ease the battle-scarred veteran or the fresh young recruit. You will give much to them and they will give you heroic stories of the conflict, marvelous undertakings of the commander-in-chief, and intimate knowledge of the direction in which the battle is raging.”
Although memberships are free and never expire, missionary members are reminded to update their contact information regularly to keep their profiles current.
