Our Graduates' Unfinished Theological Journeys
Brothers and sisters responded to God’s call and entered Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary (“Baptist”), embarking on a theological journey full of amazing grace. In addition to receiving theological equipment in the discipleship community, they also need to learn to watch each other and walk together when they encounter difficulties and challenges, relying on the Lord’s sufficient grace to get through them together. During this period, students experienced God reshaping their lives so that they could become His faithful servants, practice their faith in this changing era, and continue their theological journey. ...
