In recent years, many theological schools in Hong Kong have successively launched doctorate in philosophy and pastoral ministry courses. I thought to myself: Why has it still not been long since the Baptist School launched a doctoral program? I believe this is also the expectation of many students, alumni, and pastors. Recently, I learned from a teacher that "Baptist God" will soon launch a doctoral program in theology. I am really grateful for the college and theological students, as well as the church and the pastor. For "Baptist", this marks the beginning of a new page in the college's important mission of cultivating church successors. I believe that the new curriculum will adhere to the teaching philosophy that the college has always valued, which is to combine teaching, research, and pastoral training. On the one hand, it will cultivate teaching talents who can devote themselves to theological education in the future. On the other hand, it will also improve the teaching and pastoral skills of in-service pastors. Maintain quality in ministry. ...

Our school will launch a doctoral degree program in theology in the spring of the 2012-13 academic year. In response to the needs in the three aspects, since the 1960s, our school, as one of the founders of the Asian Baptist Theological Seminary (ABGTS), has offered doctoral courses in a joint manner and participated in the training of theological talents in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Later, in 1999, the college officially established a graduate school and offered a master's degree program in theology. ...

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. ...

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! ...

Luo Mingyuan, Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies, still remembers that after a morning meeting in the first grade, I happened to meet Dean Cao Weitong. During the conversation, he asked me if I regretted enrolling in "Baptism". At that time, I answered: "No." Now, after living in the big family of "Baptist God" for four years, I am even more sincerely grateful to God, thanking Him for leading me to enter this seminary and to learn and grow in this faith community. ...

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. ...

Chen Zichao, first year Master of Divinity, wandering on the edge of "determination" and "giving up". As early as ten years ago, I had the idea of full-time ministry in my mind. In the past few years, I have been wandering on the edge of "determination" and "giving up" - I once made up my mind and longed to be used by God; I also became discouraged and shed tears, refusing to respond to the Lord's call. ...

The little wish of a fisherman girl in the first year of Master of Divinity, Lai Suk-fen, "My heart was created by You. You have protected me in my mother's womb." (Psalm 139:13) I deeply understand this verse. The meaning of this article is because I was born in a Christian family and followed my mother to the church when I was in my mother's womb. Being able to come into contact with the gospel and know the Lord Jesus from an early age is the best gift my parents have given me, and it is also the most beautiful blessing in my life. ...
