Thirteen pastors and one chaplain were ordained during 2019 in the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Ordinations are typically held twice a year. In 2019, the ordina tion ceremonies were held September 28, 2019, at the Edinburg Seventh-day Adventist Church in Edinburg, Texas, and Octo ber 12, 2019, at the Dallas First Seventh-day Adventist Church in Dallas, Texas. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffer ing and teaching.
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
2 Timothy 4:1, 2, 5
