PCT members brave the elements and intercede for Taiwan

>Reported by Chiou Kuo-rong

>Written by Lydia Ma

Taipei Presbytery organized a prayer meeting on April 24 at 9:00  a.m. at a 
park in Taipei

County. The prayer meeting was part of the national PCT prayer  movement “Lift 
my eyes to

the hills” spearheaded by the PCT General Assembly for the  purpose of praying 
for Taiwan

>during these trying times.

Though the day was cloudy and rainy, the prayer meeting still  managed to 
attract a big crowd.

Many people, regardless of age, braved cold weather, wind, and  rain to attend 
the prayer

meeting. They held umbrellas, donned raincoats, and stood on damp  soil to 
worship God

together. Some had even left their homes early in the morning and  cycled to 
the park amid the

>rain to get to the venue on time.

“Taiwan needs educational, financial, and political reform  now,” said Taipei 
Presbytery

Moderator Rev. Wu Chien-chu, adding that the best way for  Christians to change 
present

social circumstances is to pray to God. Taiwanese Christians must  pray for 
Taiwan because

>this land sustains every Taiwanese, said Wu.
