Saturday we visited the Longshan Temple, considered by many Taiwanese to be the "most powerful" temple in the city.
People come to the temple to worship a variety of Buddhist, Taoist, and folk deities such as Matsu.
Perhaps because it is still Ghost month, the temple was quite busy. I saw an old man with a tattered shirt piously chanting prayers next to a young man in a business suit, holding an incense stick in one hand and his cell phone in the other. People of all kinds worship together at the temple.
As we walked among the worshipers, food sacrifices, and incense smoke, we were overcome with feelings we didn't expect. Instead of talking, we spent most of our time in prayer. May Jesus continue to draw more Taiwanese people to Himself, and transform this beautiful country for His glory.
