30-Days of Prayer for Myrtle Beach Exchange Visitors

Though the J1 program is in part about employment and making money, it is also about cultural exchange!  One of the greatest things students can experience is a meal around the table with an American family!  Dinners create a sense of family and intimacy, and often lead to great conversations about faith.  When believers invite students into their homes for a meal, it creates an opportunity for deeper connection and lasting friendships!  As we hosted a young man for a simple barbeque dinner one evening, he exclaimed, “This is a dream come true. It was my dream to get to have dinner with a family while I was here. The burgers, sitting at the table with your kids, your dog running around, it is just perfect!” This simple act of hospitality led to a summer of friendship, discovery Bible studies and relationship! Pray for the ANC volunteers who connect with students at the Cafe nights to be bold in inviting students into their homes!  Pray that students would be impacted by intentional hospitality that expresses God’s love for them.
