Nathan Ng Associate Professor of Christian Thought (Church History) After the storm, the college was steered by Dean Cao Weitong; the original stuck wheel began to be gradually repaired and adjusted with spiritual discernment. Some of the problematic parts were polished and refurbished, and some were selected and replaced; those damaged in the storm were also carefully repaired and lubricated with love. Driven by the grace of the Father, the salvation of Christ and the burning power of the Holy Spirit, the "Year Ming" uses the guidance of theological wisdom, with preaching and teaching, spiritual care as the knot, hoisting the sails of earnest hospitality and missionary calling, and sailing forward with all its might. ...

Wong Fook Kong (Professor of Old Testament) I have been serving at HKTS for over 15 years and have seen the school go through a lot of changes. Overall, the academic level of the school has improved significantly in recent years, and the academic atmosphere has become stronger. In the field of biblical studies, we now have four full-time teachers and three regular part-time teachers. This is the strongest team I have seen in HKTS in more than ten years. Two important factors in the improvement of academic standards are the establishment of the Doctor of Theology (ThD) program and the strengthening of the Master of Theology (ThM) program. The development of these two programs has required teachers to work harder in research and writing; and the growth of the teaching team has become a driving force for the improvement of the level of other courses in the school. I joke with students that they complain about writing papers of only a few thousand words and only having one (very sympathetic) teacher read them, while we as teachers have to write books of more than 100,000 words, and anyone can read our works and criticize them! In contrast, students should be thankful and not complain like the Israelites in the wilderness. ...

Rev. Brian Lam (Chaplain) In recent years, Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary has been keen on learning to become a group of disciples. We first learn to worship God together, and morning meeting is our collective worship. The college has always required all full-time students to attend morning meeting, but when I started serving in the college eight years ago, I saw that some students did not necessarily attend the morning meeting for various reasons. From the new school year of 2009, the college began to strictly enforce the requirement of attending morning meeting. Gradually, the scene of morning meeting has changed. Teachers, students and co-workers are looking forward to the morning meeting time and are very involved. We sing hymns to praise God in the college's auditorium, pray together, and shepherd each other with God's word (teachers take turns to preach, and graduating students also have "graduation sermons"). The atmosphere and participation of morning meeting now are very different from eight years ago. Especially the Christmas worship held in the morning meeting every December, in addition to all teachers, students and co-workers participating, there are also many alumni who have agreed to come back to gather together. The scene that seems a bit shocking is always unforgettable. ...

Andres Tang Professor of Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) Everything is changing, the question is how it changes. In the past five years, Baptist Theological Seminary has also experienced various changes, which gradually make people feel that the atmosphere in Jesus Christ is always different. The changes in Baptist Theological Seminary over the past few days are not limited to some external visible performances, but also go deep into the inner life of this group. The consistency between the outside and the inside is my experience as an insider, but how is this possible? ...

In the January 2009 issue of "College News", a sharing article "Future Servant Leader" by the new dean was published. At that time, dean Cao had just taken office. At the end of the article, he recorded his vision: "I believe the sunrise is ahead. : "Baptism" can move into the future because of the hard work of the forefathers, because of the unity of the entire spiritual community of teachers, classmates, and co-workers, because of the cooperation of the churches and brothers and sisters, and because God has given us the gift of nurturing a new generation. The calling and privilege of servant leadership. Glory to the one true God.”…

Dr. Freeman Huen Assistant Professor of Practical Theology (Social Ethics) Samuel Wells was invited to Hong Kong in March this year to be the speaker of the "Whitestone Lecture" of our college, leading the church to reflect on prayer, pastoral care, and mission, with the theme of "Being with God". Because of this opportunity, I had the honor to consult him on topics such as theology, ethics, and spirituality of prayer. When talking about a book I recently translated, Stanley...

Chiang Sau-kuan (M.Div.) Four years ago, I dragged my small suitcase and set foot on the road to Nianming before the start of school. I still remember that moment when I felt relieved and thought only: "Where you lead me!" At that time, I did not understand God's calling, but only knew to entrust myself to Him. I never thought that four years later, God would not want me to leave my hometown, my people, and my family to go to a special place, but led me to return to Macau to learn to pastor His church in this small city. ...

Tsang Wai-hung (B.Th.) I started writing on 25 August 2015 at 10am, which happened to be the opening ceremony of the seminary. This year I am no longer a student, and my student life has come to an end. Looking back on the past four years of studying theology, I found that it was a journey of "knowing God, recognizing faith, and knowing myself", and it was also a journey that made me different. ...

Leung Pui-sang (M.Div.) The three years of studying theology passed quickly. When I first entered school, I was still trembling with fear. I had all kinds of worries in my heart, such as financial needs, homework exams, and the direction of ministry. Now that I have graduated, I see that the road is full of peace and joy given by God, and God's endless grace! ...

Kam Wai-man (M.Div. 1) Two Ends I was born into a poor family, and my parents worked hard outside all day. As the eldest daughter, I had to take care of my three younger siblings and my frail grandmother when I was a teenager. I silently accepted this job as the "big boss". Since I was a child, I felt that the burden of life was heavy and the future was bleak. When I was in high school, I decided to believe in the Lord in a gospel camp and began to grow up in the church. I got rid of the depression of my youth and received the abundant life given by God. Looking back on those years, I am really grateful for the care and help of my high school teachers and church mentors. ...
