A one-year volunteer training class graduated at Zhongnan Theological Seminary with celebrations. 

On February 23-24, the school held a banquet, a party, a commission service, and a graduation ceremony for the 2022 class, reported CCC&TSPM.

On the new campus, the head teacher of the class gave a sermon with the title "Please Send Me," urging students to follow the Lord’s command to work diligently. The graduates watched the video to review the one-year campus life, while students of other programs blessed them with dance, a chorus, and a duet of the Bible in the form of a question and answer.

Following the commission service, the pastorate laid hands on the volunteer class students with prayers, put crosses on them, and entrusted them with the ministry.

During the commencement, Rev. Hu Kaiming, president of the Hubei Provincial Christian Council, told the students to keep learning, practice spirituality, meditate, and be good role models.

After getting their diplomas, these students gave donations and bonsai plants to show their appreciation for what they had learned at the seminary.
