Pray for Taiwan. April 5 is Tomb Sweeping Day

[Glennda Cook]

Pray for Christians and seekers this coming week,Sun-Tue.Tue is Tomb Sweeping Day-a time to clean grave sites;more importantly-to venerate ancestors with incense burning,sacrifices and special worship ceremonies in homes and temples.Christians and seekers coming from traditional/Buddhist families often face tremendous pressures to join in these activities to show respect for their ancestors.To decline is often seen as disrespectful,even a denial of their heritage.
Pray for courage as many will face family rejection for not participating;for strength to remain faithful to Christ while finding acceptable ways of showing honor,without participating in the worship activities;for wisdom to show Christ's love and grace towards family members;for Christ to be honored in these coming days as Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
