“We hope this moment will bring blessings. We also heard the theme of the prayer for disaster recovery in North Sumatra, which will be held over the next nine days. Through the prayers we offer, we hope that all of this will bring blessings and avert disasters in the North Sumatra region,” he said hopefully.
