“The Whole Family” Studies in the Seminary

  In recent years quite a number of applicants are already married and so in the interview, both the applicant and his/her spouse are invited. This is because we understand that committing oneself to study in the seminary cannot be a solitary path.

  In the course of a busy study schedule, how in fact do seminary students’ family members give them support? Will he or she be faced with special struggles and difficulties? What is sacrificed and how do they experience the grace of God throughout their years of study?

  In this issue we interviewed three married students and their “other halves” respectively, hoping that their openhearted sharing enables us to know more about our seminary students and in return support them with our prayers and watch over their families.
