ChristianHomeExchange.com has partnered with HomeExchange.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 21, 2013 - Based on the simple premise of “You stay in my home while I stay in yours,” a home exchange allows you to stay anywhere for free. Christian Home Exchange was founded by Dell and Diane Shiell and is the oldest online Christian home exchange organization. Their recent partnership with the international organization, HomeExchage.com, facilitates the arrangement of housing in another Christian home. Members may select from more than 40,000 listings to find the Christian home swap that best suits their vacationing needs.

Christian Home Exchange is available in more than 147 countries and provides a unique opportunity to visit abroad and explore other cultures at minimal cost, With the majority of travelling expenditure spent on lodging, the advent of using a home exchange allows the traveller to minimize travel expenses while maximizing enjoyment. In addition, staying in a local residence reduces the tourist experience and instead, allows vacationers to experience an authentic vacation in the heart of the community they are visiting.

Before beginning the Christian home exchange, there are some basic guidelines which are outlined for both parties. Cleaning the home beforehand and making an extra set of keys are some of the minimum precursors to having guests visit in your home. In addition, simple touches such as extra linens and towels can make the experience more welcoming and enjoyable. Although some people may be reticent to share their home with a stranger, swapping emails and photographs beforehand, can help to ease some of the apprehension. In addition, Christian Home Exchange provides guidelines and resources which are useful in preparing for and getting to know your Christian home swap partner.

Pastors and clergymen needing to take Sabbaticals can also benefit greatly from utilizing a Christian home exchange for their accommodations. Sabbaticals normally take place every few years from 1-3 months at a time. Now church employees needing a place to stay can find housing simply and easily in another Christian home.

The recent partnership of Christian Home Exchange and HomeExchange.com allows for a 25% discount for new members. However to receive the discount the signup must take place on the Christian Home Exchange website. New and old members will appreciate the endless variety of locales and abodes to select from when planning their vacation. However CHE offers more than just a cost effective vacation. As their slogan “Vacation with a Mission” implies, their aim is to offer a platform whereby visiting families can engender “faith that is renewed, shared, and strengthened.”
