At the closing of the gathering, the crowd prayed for the Taipei City government. Research Development and Evaluation Commission Chairperson Emile C.J. Sheng requested everyone to pray for the upcoming Deaflympics and International Flora Expo.
“This is the first time that we’ve been entrusted to do this, so we desperately need prayers.”
However, Sheng also requested that everyone can pray for the spiritual life of Taipei Mayor Lung-pin Hau, who has always been active in church events, but wasn’t present that day. He said that he felt “Because of the past one to two months of toils, Hau’s longing for faith is dying down.”
Lastly, everyone together prayed in one heart for the government team of the city, so that the enemies’ work of blocking can be tied down and that those in authority can come to know the true God and walk together with the Lord.
