New clergy were ordained in a Guangdong Church.  

Guangdong CC&TSPM held an ordination ceremony for 2 pastors and 3 elders in Miancheng Church in Chaoyang District, Shantou City on December 15, according to CCC&TSPM.

Rev. Fan Hongen, chairman of Guangdong CC&TSPM, Rev. Lin Enling, secretary-general and director-general of the provincial CC&TSPM, and other pastors formed a pastorate of the ordination, with more than 300 people attending.

In the ceremony hosted by Rev.Fang Junguang, president of Shantou CC&TSPM, Rev. Zhan Hailie, chairman of Shantou CC&TSPM delivered a sermon, citing 2 Timothy 2:15. He encouraged these newly appointed persons to humble themselves, to obey with dedicated heart, and to be good and faithful servants.

The ordination has further enriched the pastoral team in Shantou City, relieving the status of lacking clergymen in the grassroots churches.
