An ordination ceremony took place at a megachurch in Zhejiang Province.

On December 6, 14 staff workers were ordained at Sicheng Church, reported Hangzhou Municipal CC&TSPM.

Rev. Pan Xingwang, chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) and president of Zhejiang Theological Seminary, preached a sermon titled “Live for God’s Glory” based on scriptures from Ephesians, with an exhortation to the to-be ordained, which included obeying sovereignty, stepping into divine destiny with hope, and waiting for redemption.

The pastorate ordained five pastors and nine elders. The newly ordained were presented with stoles, clergy certificates, and bibles.
