An ordination ceremony took place at a church in Yunnan province.
On November 19, over 400 congregants attended the ordination ceremony in the Gospel Church of Simao District in Pu’er City, reported CCC&TSPM.
Rev. Deng Jianwei, president of Yunnan Christian Council (CC) and president of Yunnan Theological Seminary, presided over the service. Citing Acts 20:28–35, Rev. Deng preached a sermon titled “Servant of God,” encouraging the to-be ordained to be cautious for themselves and for the congregation. He also reminded them to set examples for believers in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
During the ceremony, the pastorate of Yunnan Provincial CC&TSPM ordained seven pastors and three elders.
