Shandong provincial CC&TSPM held an ordination ceremony for 11 pastors and 17 elders.

Last Sunday, clergies from Shandong International Church in Qingdao and other cities (Liaocheng, Dezhou, Heze and Zaozhuang) were ordained, according to Shandong CC&TSPM.

Rev. Wang Mengkun, general secretary of Shandong CC&TSPM  (Christian Council & Three-Self Patriotic Movement), shared a sermon with the theme Follow the Lord Wholeheartedly with a Steadfast Heart, citing Numbers 14: 20-25. He exhorted the ordained pastors to be loyal servants and give good testimonies for the Lord.

Rev. Gao Ming, chairman of Shandong TSPM, urged them to adhere to the pure faith by insisting on the direction of the Sinicization of Christianity and to pursue the growth of life by correctly interpreting the Bible and fully dedicating themselves.

Five pastors ordained them by laying hands on their heads, presenting them Bibles and clerical stoles.
