Seven pastors and two elders were ordained in Shandong, China’s eastern coastal province.
On September 27, three male and six female church workers were ordained at Qingzhi Church in Weifang, according to the Shandong CC&TSPM.
In the Sunday service, Rev. Gao Ming, chairman of Shandong TSPM, preached a sermon entitled, “Know the God Who Calls”, encouraging the participants to be aware of their calling from God and to co-work with God to finish tasks.
The ordination ceremony was presided over by Rev. Ren Xianmin, counselor of Shandong CC&TSPM. After they affirmed their ordination vows, the pastors placed their hands on the new clergy, and gave them Bibles and stoles.
More than 400 local church leaders and believers witnessed the ordination service.
