A strong family unit can be a magnet to students and community members. Many parents have begun their journey in Asia with the fear that their children may suffer or be unable to adapt to life overseas. Most find that their children adjust more quickly and easily to life in Asia than they themselves do. Parents are encouraged as they see their children build relationships with other children and surprised at how many doors those simple relationships will open. These opportunities place families serving with ELIC in a unique position to share with students and members of the community.
