Su emphasized that just like the theme verse chosen by today's pastors, it comes from the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah led everyone to rebuild their homes because of her sense of mission and responsibility for "home". She must also take responsibility for this land, protect their home, and gather more strength to make New Taipei a better place.

She can simplify complex things and lead everyone in the right direction.
