Being surrounded by a foreign culture and separated from family can lead to all sorts of temptations and problems which can include alcoholism, gambling, prostitution, suicide and pornography. Family relations are often strained during this 12-month separation. Many solders are lonely and need a place to find a safe, comfortable "home away from home". For many GI's Shalom House becomes that "home". We are here to provide them an alternative that is in sharp contrast to the degrading experiences many solders encounter in other sections of the city.

Shalom House helps in five important ways:

1. Sunday evening programs begin at 1700 hours and feature Praise and Worship, Fellowship, prayer, Bible study and home-cooked food.
2. Special family-style dinners at Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays.
3. Opportunity to teach conversational English to professional Koreans weeknights.
4. To Provide a bridge between the two cultures. Here, Christian soldiers and wholesome Koreans meet and establish enduring friendships.
5. Host to Amerasian Christian Academy

Raphael Clinic is the newest joint initiative of Shalom House. This clinic is a free medical service program for immigrants living at Dongducheon, Yangju, Yeoncheon and Pocheon. Follow this link to an Adobe Acrobat PDF document with additional details along with directions and clinic times.
