As missionaries, there are several networks for a place to stay :
A Candle in the Window (International) - you will need to pay for a membership, but this gives you access to the possibility of staying with people passionate about Hospitality
Servant Care (USA) - primarily in the US (but expanding internationally) this is a network of hospitality homes. You will need to make an account and be vetted.

This new technology is an absolute game changer. I would recommend going to your local cell phone provider to see if your phone is “unlocked” so that you can use e-sim cards.
The website link is in my bio / www.esim-on.com. It’s an E-sim which means I didn’t need to buy a physical SIM card (mind blowing), I was connected as I landed, it’s 80% cheaper than roaming, a set amount that can’t go over so no huge surprise bills, no wasting time to try connect & sign-up to wifi spots, it’s SO affordable, and it saves you 30% on your battery! The signal was awesome. It blew my mind, but because Bruce travels a lot for work he uses @esimon360 and taught me.
