2021 70th Anniversary Platinum Jubilee Celebration Event

Wong Fook Kong (Professor of Old Testament) I have been serving at HKTS for over 15 years and have seen the school go through a lot of changes. Overall, the academic level of the school has improved significantly in recent years, and the academic atmosphere has become stronger. In the field of biblical studies, we now have four full-time teachers and three regular part-time teachers. This is the strongest team I have seen in HKTS in more than ten years. Two important factors in the improvement of academic standards are the establishment of the Doctor of Theology (ThD) program and the strengthening of the Master of Theology (ThM) program. The development of these two programs has required teachers to work harder in research and writing; and the growth of the teaching team has become a driving force for the improvement of the level of other courses in the school. I joke with students that they complain about writing papers of only a few thousand words and only having one (very sympathetic) teacher read them, while we as teachers have to write books of more than 100,000 words, and anyone can read our works and criticize them! In contrast, students should be thankful and not complain like the Israelites in the wilderness. ...

Patrick Yu (M.Div. 1) I knew God when I was in kindergarten and middle school, and I had several vague experiences of making decisions. However, it was not until I entered the working world and attended the "Franklin Graham Crusade" that I truly believed in the Lord. In the early years of my faith in the Lord, I grew up in the "College Disciple Training Group" and was not baptized and joined the church until 2014. Later, when I participated in church missions, God showed me that the pastors and missionaries on the field were not afraid of hardships and were faithfully committed to the gospel mission. This made my heart burn and inspired me to work for God with all my heart. From then on, I began to participate in various church services and strived for opportunities to serve in the Christian middle school where I was teaching at the time. ...
