October 5, 2015ALEXANDRIA, IN - To everyone affected by the flooding on the East Coast caused by Hurricane Joaquin, our prayers are with you!  We pray for peace, provision and safety for each and every individual touched by the devastation.  These are the moments when our dependence on Christ and on our community takes on a new level of significance.

This week we’ve had numerous callers asking if we are proceeding with plans for Gaither Fest in Myrtle Beach, and the answer is a definitive, “Yes!”

We have people on the ground in Myrtle Beach, and many others who have traveled from various states across the U.S. who report that the main thoroughfares into Myrtle Beach are open and major roads in the area are clear. Any low impact detours are clearly marked and alternative routes are easily navigated. And local officials expect travel to improve even more during the next 48 hours.

The MB Chamber of Commerce has no reports of hotel closings. The Convention Center is also dry and ready to host an unforgettable weekend!
