On December 19, The House of Prayer Church in West Sacramento had an ordination service for Aleksandr Ivanov for pastoral ministry. The church service dedicated to this occasion included choir singing, sentiments, and of course the ordination ceremony itself. The local church has observed the evidence of God’s call and spiritual gifts in the life of this young minister who served as a deacon for many years.
After the church service, Aleksandr and his wife Inna invited us to a festive reception. This was a wonderful continuation of fellowship during which there was a time of questions and answers, as well as advice and blessings that were offered to the wonderful couple, Aleksandr and Inna!
May the Lord abundantly bless the ministry of the church’s head pastor, Aleksey Delkhman, and the addition of Aleksandr to the pastoral team!
