Saint Luke Society (SLS) has been making significant strides in establishing chapters around the world, in alignment with the Great Commission to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. As a result of these efforts, the West China Center of SLS China was officially dedicated to God on August 1st in Chengdu, near Sichuan University.
During the dedication service, Pastor Simon Yao delivered a message titled “Carry on the Death of Jesus and Reveal the Life of Jesus,” based on 2 Corinthians 4:10. In his sermon, Pastor Simon outlined the vision of SLS China and the reasons for its establishment in Chengdu. He emphasized that SLS China seeks to find the lost sheep of Israel, comfort God’s people, and spread the Gospel among doctors and medical students, transforming them into disciples of Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of God.
Pastor Simon also expressed a desire to honor the legacy of Western missionaries and their sacrifices in laying the foundation for West China Union University, which is located close to the West China Center. He noted that SLS China humbly begins its mission by building on this foundation of Christianity.
The newly dedicated mission center is expected to serve as a place of spiritual nourishment and training for many medical students, fostering their growth in faith and their commitment to spreading the Gospel.
