A retreat for millennial pastoral staff was conducted in Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province.
A total of 25 young pastors from diverse churches in the county participated in the event hosted by the "Shepherd's Home" on May 4, with the theme of "Collision of Ideas and Conceptual Conflicts," said Ningde Municipal CC&TSPM.
Rev. Deng Lingyong, chairman and president of Xiapu County CC&TSPM, elaborated on the important role of young pastors in the church, declaring that young pastors should possess vitality, aspiration, magnanimity, and a down-to-earth attitude to better nurture believers.
Rev. Su Zhenren, who was ordained last year, shared how to establish youth fellowships and pastor young people, proposing that young pastoral workers have the support of the church and the coordination of key personnel with a divine burden.
Pastor Hu Junfeng emphasized that pastors should first manage their own families well and then manage the church to lead a balanced life.
