Friday 3 March 2023
'I have heard about your faith’.
The World Day of Prayer (WDP) host country this year is Taiwan.
The theme is God’s promise in the letter to the Ephesians, which is an invitation to active listening, which is the ground of our prayers. Following the example of the letter (Ephesians 1:15-19), where the author praises the church for their faith in Jesus and love toward all the saints, the worship service contextualizes the witness of the saints with the stories from Taiwan.
Paul gave thanks to God for the Ephesians living out their love and faith.
