Taiwan is a small island off the middle-eastern coast of China, holding strong governmental ties and economic partnerships to the nation of China. Their dynamic economy is driven by industrial manufacturing. The primary religions in Taiwan include Buddhism and Taoism. Additionally, Taiwan is a destination country for the human trafficking of men, women, and children for the purposes of forced labor and sex trafficking, while also being a source country for women trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation[1]. Let’s Pray…

-Father, we pray that You would build your church in Taiwan. Strengthen the believers that you have placed in this region and for those that you are drawing close to You. Help them to stay tight with you Jesus and keep you as their first love (C.S. contribute 8.12.23).

-Father, we thank you for the island of Taiwan and for the work of the Holy Spirit moving through this nation. Holy Spirit, we pray for a continual development of transformational leaders in Taiwan who seek to love you with all their heart, soul, and strength. Help them to dedicate their lives to your calling Jesus. We pray that you God would pour out your spirit on all people in Taiwan, that their sons and daughters would prophecy, that their old men would dream dreams, and their young men would see visions. Jesus, we pray for millions of people to receive your blood as atonement for their sins. Help them to walk with you and enter into a personal relationships with you Jesus.*

-God, we pray a blessing over the government and pray that they would be under the authority of our king Jesus. Bless their relationships with partnering nations and help their economy continue to prosper. Thank you God. 

-Father, we pray for the victims of human trafficking in Taiwan. Jesus, we pray for your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to pour out upon these individuals.** Jesus we pray for freedom over your captives. Jesus, we pray that you would provide emotional, mental, and physical healing over these individuals. Help them to forgive their captors.  Help them to fully receive the love of our father Yahweh. We pray over those involved in human trafficking and ask for repentant hearts and for them to be united with your mission for their lives.  Thank you Jesus! 

-Father, we lift up the Spratly and Parcel Islands to you. We pray for peace amongst other nations who claim this territory as their own. We pray for all the life on and around the islands from vegetation to mammals to sea creatures. We pray a blessing over your creation on these islands, and pray that they would glorify their creator.     

-Father, we pray over the docks in Taiwan and ask for your angels to be stationed at each dock, keeping out all illicit drugs. Holy Spirit, we pray that you would convict drug producers and traffickers of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness, and judgment.*** Help them to turn from their ways and walk with you Jesus. Amen.
