PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Praise Points

Praise God for Chinese Christian missionaries who work in Taiwan to further the Kingdom Harvest (The Bible, Matthew 24:14).

Praise God for the opportunity available at this time to preach the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ in Taiwan (The Bible, Acts 14:7).

Prayer Points

Pray for the Taiwanese youth to seek the TRUTH of the WORD as they drift away from the traditional religions (The Bible, John 8:32).

Pray for a revival in Taiwanese churches and for nominal churchgoers to be transformed into effective Kingdom Workers (The Bible, Matthew 9:37).

Pray that tent-makers from Taiwan’s trading partner countries visit this country and engage in the Great Commission (The Bible, Romans 1:16).

A Call to Salvation

Let the strongmen of the traditional religions in Taiwan be bound and banished from this nation (The Bible, Psalm 7:9). Let this island nation proclaim the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ throughout their lands (The Bible, Mark 16:15).

Promise for the Nation

The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress and my Deliverer; my God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge, my Shield and the Horn of my Salvation, my Stronghold (The Bible, Psalm 18:2).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Taiwan is an East Asian country that has a long-standing dispute with China. After the Second World War, a civil war erupted in China. The Republic of China’s government fled to the island of Taiwan, and the mainland became the People’s Republic of China. The in-exile Republic of China christened itself as Taiwan on December 7, 1949. Only 12 countries recognize Taiwan as an independent country. None of the NATO alliance or Asian countries recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty. However, a vast majority of the countries have strong trade ties with Taiwan. Religious freedom is a reality in Taiwan. However, their traditional religions have a firm grip on the population. Despite the technological advancements made by the country, they have significant problems in domestic abuse, human trafficking, and drug abuse. Taiwanese youth do not exhibit the same enthusiasm for traditional beliefs as their previous generations.
