It’s a wonderful ordination service at The GPPI Center in Kediri, Indonesia, which took place on October 15, 2023. The ordination of Full Pastors, Young Pastors, and Evangelists is a significant and joyous occasion for the Indonesian Pentecostal Central Church (GPPI). Here’s a summary of the key points from the service:
The ordination service occurred on the 51st anniversary of GPPI in 2023 at the GPPI Center in Kediri, located on Jl. Brawijaya 27. This ordination event ordains servants of God who serve in various churches under the auspices of GPPI.
The service began with a spirited and joyful atmosphere of worship, with congregational exclamation and prayers. Praise and worship were led by Mrs. Lany, and the congregation expressed their joy through applause and choir performances.
The heart of the service was the ordination procession. Each person to be ordained received an Appointment Decree from the GPPI Central Council for their respective positions. They were prayed for and consecrated while the song “Crown of Life” was sung. Rev. Ebzan Paulus, BBA, Pastor of GPPI Kediri and Chairman of GPPI, along with Rev. Joseph Batubara, Pastor of GPPI Pondok Daud Jakarta, led the ordination.
The ordination candidates expressed their dedication to serving God. They shared their years of waiting and their aspirations to serve in different countries. Many were moved to tears as they made their promises to God, in front of the congregation.
Rev. Ebzan reminded everyone of the importance of being sent to preach the Gospel to all nations, in accordance with the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”
The service was concluded with prayers and blessings from Rev. Ebzan, and he introduced the other Servants of God who were present at the event.
The atmosphere was one of joy and excitement, and it was a special day for all who participated in this sacred event. This ordination represents a significant milestone in the spiritual journey of these ordained individuals and a beautiful testament to the faith and dedication of the GPPI community. Hallelujah!
