Wong Pak-ming, a first-year Master of Divinity student (M.Div. 1), finally took the first step. "The Lord came and stood there, as he had called three times before, 'Samuel, Samuel!'

Mr. Shun Shaolin, Visiting Assistant Professor of New Testament Scripture: Amos 7:10-17 I think everyone must find it strange that a person who reads the New Testament and studies Paul would actually choose an Old Testament passage when preaching .

Flesh and grace, one campmate described this "Call to Testimony Sharing Session" as "flesh and grace," and it was one of the most touching sessions. In this sharing session, one of our classmates and two alumni talked about their calling and their experiences in studying theology.
