Guizhou Provincial CC&TSPM ordained 40 clergymen, further enriching the team of pastoral staff in the province.

During the ordination ceremony held in Guizhou Bible School on November 12, Rev. Yang Mingxiang, president of the Guizhou Provincial Christian Council (CC), preached a sermon titled “Walk in the Footsteps of the Lord, Follow God’s Path,” citing Matthew 9:35–38, reported CCC&TSPM.

He exhorted the to-be ordained to preach the gospel, establish churches, and serve the public as Jesus Christ, with perseverance, clear work goals, and spiritual insight.

Rev. Luo Yingfu, director of the Guizhou Provincial Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), conducted a proclamation and questioned the candidates about their reaffirmation of their ordination vows with prayers. Subsequent to the pastorate laying hands on the 40 people, Pastor Luo presented them with stoles. Rev. Yang gave clergy certificates to the newly ordained.
