We give thanks for the Honorable John Yap and for the position he holds in the government as the Minister of State for Climate Action. Father, we lift him up today in prayer and ask that you would bless him for his commitment to his constituency and our province.
You have blessed him with many talents, and we pray that You would continue to give him the wisdom he needs to carry out the tasks You have set before him.
