Celebrating Some Global Ordinations
A key part of being formally adopted into Sovereign Grace Churches is our ordination process. This process is valuable not only for the evaluation it provides, but also for the edification and equipping the candidate experiences, and in great news, 3 of our Global Pastors have passed their ordinations in the last month.
I have highlighted the men below and their responses to this good news...

“Through the mercies of the Holy God, I am humbled to pass the ordination process of Sovereign Grace Churches and to belong with you all as a co-servant of the gospel of Christ. Indeed it was an “immersion” to establish one’s foundation both in spirituality and ministry, thank you for this privilege. I also want to thank pastors Dave Taylor, Lynn Baird, David York and Brendan Willis for guiding me patiently and lovingly all throughout the ordination process. Your trust and friendship for the past years have always been fruitful and beautiful which I will always treasure for the rest of my life.
Today I am grateful to be with you all, pastors of like-minded in the Gospel and in the love for His church, the dearest place on earth. Looking forward to work hand in hand with you all so that His Name may be known in the generations to come to the praise of His glorious grace.”

“Yes, it's finally done. Thank you so much for all your prayers & support. So good to hear your congratulations. Yes, it was a long struggle, but His grace is indeed sufficient, throughout all of the exercises.
The church is also celebrating with me. We are beyond words in expressing our gratitude!”

“I have no words! My eyes are wet!! I am so much overwhelmed by looking at the past how God led me to this point from the time I met SG team in Jagdalpur, India in 2018. I never thought I would become a part of SG family. The Lord made all this possible. When I started moving with SG, I wasn't so clear where I would reach. But the Lord led me through to complete the ordination and become a part of the SG family.
I am praying and waiting on the Lord to see how the Lord will use this for His glory. I am so much thankful to Asian SGC ordination team especially Mr Todd Peterson who has taken so much of time in helping me come to this point. I am so thankful to everyone who contributed one way or the other for my ordination. Thanks to Pastor Dave and his team. To God be the glory!”
Each of these men mark ‘firsts’ for the countries in terms of SGC Ordinations. It is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes!
