30-Days of Prayer for Myrtle Beach Exchange Visitors

Ministry to J1 students is a huge opportunity, that is really only possible through the many volunteers who take time out of their summer schedules to be present to students.  The ministry varies from greeting new arrivals at the airport to driving students to work in the rain, to helping students navigate social security applications!  Pray for blessings on these volunteers- that God would multiply their time and give them rest in the midst of  the busy season!  That they would have opportunities to share the love of Christ in significant ways, and they would be fulfilled in the work! Pray for the influence for all the volunteers, that our actions and words would be a demonstration of God’s lovingkindness, not just with the international students but to local entities (police, chamber of commerce, landlords, employers, airport workers, and sponsors).   “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ” 2Corinthians 5:20 

Pray also for unity and understanding among all the ANC volunteers. We are coming from many different denominations and organizations—in itself a testimony of God’s plan of diversity! “I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. Is Christ divided?” 1 Corinthians 1:10, 13a
