Pastor Novy Yiu was ordained on September 21st at 59th Street Lutheran brethren Church. Pastor Novy has been the pastor of the Chinese Department in Brooklyn for over four years and the ministry has flourished during that time. Pastor Novy and his wife Marie originally came from Hong Kong and have twin three year old children (Micah & Cherie). Pastor Richard Bridston (Vice President of the Synod and pastor of Bethany LB Church in Staten Island) officiated at the ordination and we were also blessed to have Michael and Deloris Kittelson with us. Mike was able to give an encouraging word to Pastor Novy and the Chinese Department, speaking in Mandarin. There were also a number of pastors present from other Chinese congregations in the city, which the Chinese Department of 59th Street Church often works with during evangelist crusades.
