June 19 is Taiwan’s Dragon Boat Festival, held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (May or June). There are many dragon boat stories, and the festival is celebrated with races in dragon-shaped boats with two rows of rowers in communities, villages, and cities where there is sufficient water. Eating zongzi (sticky rice with savory meat fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves in a pyramid shape) and contests balancing eggs on their narrow ends are regular parts of the celebrations, making it a fun time for everyone. However, the Dragon Boat Festival also carries deeper significance, as it includes less obvious rituals meant to ward off disease, evil spirits, and bad luck during the coming summer months, especially around water. Please pray that Christians will take advantage of opportunities to minister in these communities by sharing the gospel and the hope found in Jesus that overcomes fear and uncertainty. Pray that participants and spectators will experience the joy and peace that only He gives, and that one day these facilities will be used by local churches for community-wide baptisms, celebrations, and worship that exalts Christ above all gods and spirits across Taiwan.
