An ordination ceremony for 12 clergymen was held in East China’s Jiangsu province.

The event was organized by Jiangsu CC&TSPM at Xuyi Church in Huai'an City on May 17, said Huai'an CC.&TSPM.

The ceremony included a sermon titled "Being a Good Servant of God" from Rev. Zhao Huijuan, vice president and general director of the Jiangsu CC. She motivated the pastoral staff who were about to be ordained to work with God using a servant's heart, be a faithful master of God, and be a role model for believers."

Pastor Zhao officiated the laying on of hands, conferring Li Yetao as a pastor and 11 church workers as elders.

After the ceremony, Zhao presented clerical stoles and bibles to the newly appointed staff.
