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. ...
Months and Years at HKBTS
He Zhiyong, Master of Christian Studies. 1 Chronicles 29:15 records David’s words: “We are strangers and sojourners in your presence, like our fathers.” Words with the same meaning are found in Genesis, It appears in Psalms and Hebrews. These words are particularly touching to me because I am “alone and a stranger in a foreign land.” I went to Hong Kong to study alone and felt the hardships of the journey. Sometimes, looking at the Lau Yue Sing Memorial Building on campus, I wonder to myself: "Would the group of sages who migrated to Hong Kong and founded the "Baptism in God" also feel the hardships of the journey?" That's how God puts us. In this great tide, let us undergo various experiences on the journey, and also obtain supplies at different stations, where we can rest, heal, and be strengthened, so that we know that this faith is true—the Lord Jesus not only allows us to gain life, and get it more abundantly. ...
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. Also, in addition to intensive study, it is not easy to properly balance family life and church service. In the face of all the above difficulties and pressures, I can’t remember exactly how I got through them. Looking back now, I can’t remember them all clearly. I only know that God’s grace has been uninterrupted during this period, and it has become more and more abundant! ...
