30-Days of Prayer for Myrtle Beach Exchange Visitors

The Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce partners with the MBPD  to run weekly orientations during the first 6 weeks of the season.  Students can learn important safety tips, get help filling out forms, and connect with various services available.  It is an important opportunity for students to see and hear from people who are in a position to help them if they have any issues come up during the summer. Since Midtown Vineyard Church hosts the orientations, the students also learn about All Nations Cafe and become familiar with the location.   Pray that more students would take advantage of these orientations.  Pray that many students will return for All Nations Cafe.

Pray for the team of volunteers who spend time welcoming arrivals at the airport.  They work late nights, and are often the first friendly faces for students!  They are an important connecting point for students who arrive without housing, or who find themselves in sticky situations because of mis-communication with landlords or employers.  Pray for stamina for the small greeters team, and that more volunteers would join them.  Pray for good connections to be made!

Pray for the J1 student exchange visitors who are coming, for their travel arrangements, fees and their visa interviews.  God knows exactly who he wants in Myrtle Beach this summer.  Pray for each student as they go through the interview and visa process, and as they come up with fees to pay the sponsor companies.  Many students go into some sort of debt to get here with the idea that they will make it back (and hopefully a bit more!)
