Coming our way this summer!

Five students from Slovakia will be visiting Naperville this June, and we’re excited to welcome them into our church community!


During their stay, these teens (ages 16–18) will experience everyday life in the U.S. by spending time with our host families, sharing meals, taking local adventures, participating in service opportunities, and making new friendships.

From pick-up soccer games and beach days to college visits and community events, we hope to give them a meaningful glimpse of life here, while learning from them and their culture in return.


We’re looking for people like you to help make this experience unforgettable. There are many ways to get involved: host a student for two weeks, donate tickets or experiences, help with transportation, organize an outing, or simply help create a warm and welcoming environment.


Whether you can open your home, share a meal, coordinate an activity, or support behind the scenes, your involvement can make a lasting impact, not only for these students but for our whole community.

Our Saviour's history of support in post-communist Slovakia extends back 25 years! Thanks in part to generous support from Our Saviour's donors over the years, the Center for Christian Education (CCE) in Martin, Slovakia, has grown and thrived. 


In July 2025, Our Saviour's welcomed six high school students from CCE for a month-long visit and cultural exchange. Students from Slovakia stayed with OSLC families and participated in a wide range of Our Saviour's mission and ministry activities, including VBS, a Baby Care Ministry workshop, and Ignition youth group. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn together, and next summer a group of Our Saviour's high school students will travel to Slovakia as well!
