Two pastoral staff in Xinzhou City, north China’s Shanxi Province, were ordained as pastors.
After the sermon part in the ordination ceremony held in Dongwang Church on June 21, an exhortation was made for two staff members from Dongwang church and a church in Daixian County, who were later laid hands on by three leaders from Shanxi CC&TSPM and Xinzhou Municipal CC&TSPM, Shanxi TSPM said.
After the ceremony, these two newly ordained clergy gave their speeches in turn, saying that they would "continue to adhere to the principle of developing religion in the Chinese context, be committed to patriotism and love of religion, fulfill the Great Commission, and nurture believers".
