A New Chapter

Ou Shaoxian, Master of Divinity. In the midsummer three years ago, I started a new chapter in my life at "Baptism" with trepidation. I entered seminary to be equipped because my call from God was clear and I had a very real peace and assurance in my heart. However, since my residence was quite far from the seminary, I spent a lot of time traveling by boat and car every day after school, which inevitably made my body feel tired. Moreover, it has been almost 20 years since I put down my schoolbag. In addition, I am not young. It is really a great test to re-enter a new environment and study a full-time course.

Walking on Nin Ming Road: Reflection on Education and Theological Education

Zhou Peishan, director of distance education courses, calculated on her fingers that I am walking on the road to new years and it will be exactly ten years this year. Nian Minglu took me through the sunny and rainy days of three years of Master of Divinity and three years of Master of Theology. He also led me into distance education courses and became a co-worker in this department. For me, Nianming Road is a road leading to education, which led me to receive theological education at "Baptist God" and then serve God here. The long and narrow Nianming Road is interspersed with teachers, co-workers and classmates. When classes started at the end of August this year, many new footprints were added to the road. This group of new students who have just embarked on Nianming Road and are ready to devote themselves to full-time ministry are full of energy, adding a new atmosphere to the "God-baptized" scene on Nianming Road, and also triggered my thinking about education and theological education. ...
