Thijn Thijink–van der Vlugt of the Netherlands then led in a prayer for Danisa while members of the Executive Committee surrounded him.

Following the prayer, Danisa thanked the General Council for their support and love.

"I know the future is in God's hands," he said. "I pray we will continue to seek God’s will for the work of MWC."
