On June 12, Beimen Church in Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, Fujian Province, held an emeritus symposium for Rev. Lin Jiaxing.
Rev. Lin Shengfeng, the Administrative Director of Beimen Church, said that since Rev. Lin Jiaxing came to serve the church in 1989, he maintained his passion and dedication to God's work for more than 30 years. His ministry was not only limited to preaching in the pulpit but also lay in being an example for the believers and caring for them in daily life.
He summarized his experience in the ministry over the past 30 years in three sentences: “Acknowledge the Lord!” “God’s grace is enough for you!” and “Work for the Lord, he will take full responsibility for you!” He shared his initial experience of living by faith with the conviction that God had regarded all his and his family’s needs. Finally, he expressed his willingness to dedicate his life to the Lord and continue to serve with all his efforts even after retirement.
Rev. Lin Shengfeng presented Rev. Lin Jiaxing with a certificate of honor and flowers.
After discussion, the board decided to rehire Rev. Lin Jiaxing to continue to serve Beimen Church and provide guidance services for the development of the church.
