Hi everyone, Jesus encourages us to stay with others and experience hospitality (Mark 6:8-11) and to be hospitable ourselves (Matthew 25:34-37). Hospitality has a central place in Christian spirituality! I often travel to Ireland and I can't find Irish members on the Christian hospitality website Ephatta (http://en.ephatta.com). I started using it to welcome and meet other Christians and now I use it when I travel. It's great! In fact, I decided to become an ambassador of Ephatta A quick explanation: "Ephatta was created because welcoming and traveling are unique ways to make meaningful encounters and strengthen our faith. Ephatta means “be opened” and the website gathers those who want to open to others, whoever they are. The website puts in touch people looking for a temporary accommodation with other people willing to open their door and welcome them. Members can list a couch, a private room or an entire home. Hospitality can be provided for any event: holidays, pilgrimages, gatherings or professional trips. Launched in spring 2015, the network already gathers 2538 Christians in 40 countries. The website is available in English, French and soon in Spanish. Ephatta also partners up with events and help organizers having hospitality issues". I'd like to meet plenty of new people in Ireland! I encourage you to visit the website and join us In Jesus Mary

Sounds like an interesting idea. Unfortunately I don't have a place of my own to share. I think I'd also feel odd about living in someone else's house myself. I don't like being in situations where I feel like a bother to people. But I do think it's an interesting idea.
