SG500 Open Homes

Homestay hospitality for conference delegates

SG500 Open Homes is the official homestay programme for the SG500 conference. This application connects international delegates with volunteer hosts in Singapore, collects guest and host registrations, and helps SG500 coordinators with matching and logistics. Authorised administrators may connect a Google account so the site can send registration confirmation emails through Gmail ( gmail.send scope only). See our Privacy Policy for how personal data is handled.

Overview

SG500 Open Homes invites Singaporean hosts to voluntarily house international delegates during the SG500 Conference.

The heart behind this is simple: what if Singapore could serve the nations by welcoming them not just into our city, but into our homes?

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor… Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.” - Romans 12:10, 13 ESV.

We invite you to join us as a host or guest on this journey of loving and honoring the saints from the nations through the gift of hospitality.
