9 Pastors Ordained in 2 Guangdong Churches

“为满足基层教会的牧养和管理需要”，广东2地举行圣职按立典礼。

据广东省基督教两会，11月3日，在汕头市乌桥堂三位男同工被按立为牧师。

汕头市基督教三自爱国会主席詹海烈牧师以“作无愧的工人”为题证道，劝勉接受圣职的同工要有奉献的心志，做良善忠心的仆人，作神无愧的工人。

第二天，广东省基督教两会在揭阳市东山堂按立六位同工为牧师，其中2位是女性。

省基督教两会秘书长、总干事林恩灵牧师以《按神旨意作好牧人》为主题证道，勉励六位即将授受牧师圣职的同工作主群羊的好牧人，以基督耶稣的心为心，引领广大信众爱国爱教、荣神益人。

In order to meet the need for pastoring and management in grassroots churches, two churches in Guangdong Province, southeast China, held ordination ceremonies.

Three male staff workers were ordained as pastors at the Wuqiao Church in Shantou City on November 3, said Guangdong CC&TSPM.

Rev. Zhan Hailie, chairman of Shantou TSPM, preached a sermon titled “Be a Worker Who Does Not Need to be Ashamed,” exhorting the newly ordained to be good and faithful servants with dedicated minds and workers of God who have no reason to be ashamed.

On the next day, another ordination ceremony for six church staff, including two female workers, took place at Dongshan Church in Jieyang City.

Rev. Lin Enling, secretary general of Guangdong TSPM and general secretary of Guangdong Christian Council (CC), delivered a themed sermon, “Be a Good Sheperd at the Will of God,” with the encouragement for the soon-to-be ordained candidates to be good pastors for the Lord and have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. They were also exhorted to guide believers to be patriotic and faithful and live a life glorifying God and benefiting society.
