What people say

First-class family holidays for more than 15 years! CHEF is an excellent way to help other Christians who might not be able to afford a holiday otherwise, and is great for enjoying Fellowship in their churches. Now our kids have grown up and married they do their own CHEF holidays themselves, having enjoyed staying in so many different Christian homes both in the UK and abroad when they were growing up. They are a great endorsement that CHEF holidays are the best! Staying in an ordinary home in a residential area in a different country and attending the local church has been a fantastic way to enjoy a summer holiday! Now e-mail makes arranging an exchange so simple.

We are certainly the "happy punters" you describe! For the past 10 years we have enjoyed many holidays in the UK in lovely places and houses, all just for the cost of travel. Thanks to CHEF we can always relax in the knowledge that our own house and very nervous cat are being well looked after while we are away. He (the cat!) is still with us and no one has lost him or damaged our house in any way, so we would highly recommend Christian Home Exchange as a means of enjoying a low-cost holiday.

CHEF gives us a cost effective opportunity for adventure and we all need adventure and discovery regardless of age. Our circle of friends now extends from Airdrie in Canada to Tasmania (via the Netherlands of course). We are always amazed by people's generosity. Tony and Rita Powell

We love CHEF. Someone else's home is often not quite as we imagined, but we have been made to feel very welcome indeed and are very grateful for this practical demonstration of what being part of God's family means. We have never in four UK and two European exchanges had any problems with damage to property or with security and felt genuine love for our exchange partners. In a world of contracts and litigation it is a blessing to use a scheme which has trust as its bottom line! Thank you.
