Grown-up in Sunday school
Wang is originally from Jilin province, he followed his Christian mother to Sunday school in the 1950s, studying, worshiping, praising, and playing games with other children.
After being baptized to the Lord as an adult, in addition to doing his job well, he participated in church activities as a deacon and pastor, being sent to preach in all the churches in the urban and rural areas of Anshan. By the gift of the Holy Spirit, he gave sermons in the form of storytelling and recitation with the skills of teaching, accompanied by theological thoughts and testimonies.
He is also willing to serve and care for the senior or disabled believers who can only gather in the surrounding meeting points, some even in remote places.

Did his work well and keep his faith in mind
In his childhood, his family was very poor and even burnt cow dung.
After taking up work, Wang worked as a P.E. teacher in a school in Anshan City. Because of his excellent work, some leaders talked to him, asking him to give up his belief and join the Communist Party so that he could be promoted, but he refused.
In view of his outstanding and unique teaching, he was exceptionally promoted to the principal of a school.

At one period of time, Wang worked as the logistics director in a school, being honest and diligent. He did not follow the "hidden rules" in purchasing tables, chairs, and teaching materials, and he is not greedy or possessive.
As a P.E. teacher, he combined music and dance in his physical education teaching. For this reason, the education authority of Anshan City invited the TV station to videotape his interesting P.E. class as a new type of observation course to promote.
Wang is versatile, and he once taught art and music at school. So when students need to relax their muscles after the intense P.E. class, he played music for them.
He has taught in eight schools in Tiedong District, Tiexi District, and Lishan District, and some of his students became Christians as adults since they knew he believes in God.
As an "all-around" teacher, he once served as the deputy chief director, chief planner, and chief conductor of large-scale group gymnastics performances in Lishan District for three consecutive years in 1989, 1990, and 1991, achieving excellent results. More than 1,000 students from different schools were organized to perform, integrating music, dance, and art.
Becoming one of the first group of senior teachers in Anshan City, Wang has no children but treated students as his own.
Suffering from stomach cancer in old age and healed by the Lord
After retirement, Wang continues to serve in churches, gathering places, and fellowships, even in remote villages.
In 2022, over eighty years old, Wang developed symptoms such as fatigue, indigestion, loss of appetite, nausea, and significant weight loss. Finally, he was found to have gastric cancer (poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma) by gastroscopy, and the doctor suggested he be hospitalized for surgery immediately.
Unwilling to undergo surgery, he preferred conservative treatment with medicine and relied on God. A very accomplished entrepreneur overseas, one of his former students, assigned someone to help him to be hospitalized after knowing his situation.
During his stay in the hospital, Wang prepared himself mentally for the operation by praying, praising, and reading the Bible.
Just after the May Day holiday in 2022, he had surgery to remove two-thirds of his stomach, recovering well.
After the operation, he had to eat smaller and more times, at least four meals a day. But when worshiping in some church activities for hours, he didn’t eat anything in the sanctuary, starving until the service was over.
At home, he also uses waste such as playing cards, drink bottles, and foam to make handicrafts, and his wife even bought him a knife for cutting glass.

他是一位有40年教龄的体育教师、校长；他具有特色的体育教学被拍成视频观摩片、他的有关教学的论文多次获奖；他更是一位虔诚的基督徒，是改革开放后鞍山市教会恢复后的骨干，被授予鞍山市“基督教界先进个人”称号。
他就是现年81岁的王万程弟兄。老弟兄曾是教会的执事、传道人，信主70余年不忘初心。传福音、分享见证、赞美、参加教会活动。
2022年10月8日，他在鞍山市老虎屯教会的秋收感恩节聚会上，就自己最近患胃癌得医治、恢复健康的见证进行分享。他为秋收感恩节自创天津快板，他还为教会的赞美司琴。
在教会主日学长大的信徒
王万程弟兄原籍是吉林省人，他的母亲是虔诚的基督徒。上个世纪50年代，他就参加了教会的主日学，和大家一起学习、敬拜、赞美、游戏、唱歌。
成年受洗归主后，他除了做好本职工作外，还积极参加教会活动，成为教会的执事和传道人，几乎所有的鞍山市区，包括农村的教会他都奉差派前去为主讲道。主要是他把圣灵所赐的口才，在教育领域讲课的特长并且借鉴评书、朗诵来为会众讲道，有神学、有见证。
他在传道过程中，还不忘那些在活动点和聚会点的老年弟兄姊妹，即使是偏远的地方。因为他体谅那些肢体活动不便、有的身体不好，只能在居住地附近活动点或聚会点活动，所以他也乐意过去服侍他们.
他利用自己有音乐“细胞”的特长在教会的圣诞节、复活节等活动都组织和参与。一位教会的团契负责人在谈到王万程弟兄时很是赞赏，她说“王万程弟兄讲道、组织活动样样都行。他组织大伙排练节目特别有创意、有新意，唱歌、舞蹈他都通，耐心指导大伙。
不忘信仰，做好本职工作
王弟兄说，当时他的家很贫穷，小时候家里都烧过牛粪。参加工作后，王万程弟兄在鞍山市的一所学校任体育老师。由于他的工作出色，所以就有领导找他谈话，要求他放弃信仰，加入组织，好提拔他。但是他并没有这样
鉴于他突出的、独有特色的教学工作，被破格提拔为一个学校的校长。
不仅如此，王万程弟兄还担任了少先队的大队辅导员。他被授予了“鞍山市优秀辅导员”的荣誉称号。
有一阶段，王万程弟兄到了一个学校担任后勤校长。学校购置桌椅、采购教学物品等，是有“潜规则”的。他廉洁勤政地做好自己的工作，面对世俗的诱惑，不贪、不占。
作为体育教师，不断地创新，把音乐和舞蹈结合到他的体育教学中。为此，鞍山市教育主管部门，还专门请了电视台把他的趣味体育课录像，作为新型的观摩课推广。
由于王万成弟兄多才多艺，所以在学校他教过美术、教过音乐。学生们在紧张的体育课之后，要放松肌肉，他就用音乐来带领学生们。
他在鞍山市铁东区、铁西区、立山区等八个学校从事过教学工作。他的学生知道他信上帝，所以有的学生在成年之后也到教会、成为信徒。
王万程弟兄的组织能力强，也是一个“全能型”的教师。为此，他曾经担任过立山区1989年、1990年、1991年连续三年的大型团体操表演的副总导演、总策划、总指挥。1000多名的学生表演集体项目，来自不同的学校，他把他们组织起来，集音乐、舞蹈、美术于一体。在全市的团体操比赛中取得了优异的成绩。
他成为鞍山市第一批具有高级教师职称的老师。王万程弟兄没有子女，但是他把学生们当作自己的孩子。
晚年身患胃癌，靠主得医治
退休后的王万程弟兄，依然不忘继续在教会、聚会点、团契事奉，即使是偏远的乡村他也不辞辛苦前往。
到了2022年，年逾八旬的王弟兄身上出现了乏力、消化不良、食欲不振、恶心和明显的体重减轻等症状，最后做胃镜检查出来是胃癌（低分化腺癌、恶性肿瘤），医生建议马上住院做手术。
王万程弟兄不愿意做手术，想靠着信仰、吃药维持、保守治疗。他的一个学生，是一个海外很有成就的企业家。当他得到这个消息后，立刻帮她办理了入院手续。
在住院期间，王弟兄每天依然不忘自己的信仰，靠着祷告、读经和赞美，做手术前的心理准备。
2022年的五一假期刚过， 5月8日王万程弟兄做了手术，胃切除三分之二。王万程弟兄不仅手术顺利、成功，而且恢复得也比较好。
术后他每天要少餐、多餐，至少要吃四顿饭。但是到了有的教会参加崇拜活动的时候，没有这种条件，半天下来，他会悄悄地不吱声，也不会在圣殿吃东西，忍耐到聚会结束。
家里他还会用扑克牌、饮料瓶、泡沫等废物做手工艺品，他老伴还专门为他买了切割玻璃的刀。
