This is Simnidaebat Field of Taehwagang River. The path of four kilometers is thick with bamboos. The bamboos growing upward look like almost reaching the sky. I want the stubbornness of the bamboo growing only seeing upward to be my heart. I want our prayers to go up ceaselessly toward God during the 40 and 10 days intentional prayer meeting. I hope our prayer, the prayer of a mournful spirit and not falling into temptation, becomes incense and is put in the golden censer and goes up before the throne of God.
