Fong King-yan (M.Div. 1) I suddenly felt that my career as a player was over. I decided to believe in the Lord in 2003. Unfortunately, I only had a vague understanding of Jesus' salvation at that time, and the gospel seed only fell on shallow soil. Over the next few years, I made rugby my life and gradually stopped attending parties. During college, I spent five or six days a week training and competing, and my relationship with my family became increasingly alienated, and I ignored their advice. ...

There are two couples among our freshmen this school year, Jingren and Yongmei are one of them. This issue of "Hospital News" published three testimonies of being called, the first two of which were written by Jingren and Yongmei. I hope that readers can see from their stories how God’s calling comes to a couple separately, and how God uses miraculous works to lead His children to embark on the path of dedication at the same time. ...

Freeman Huen Assistant Professor of Practical Theology (Social Ethics) "Why can't we use force to fight for justice?" After the changes in the political situation in Hong Kong in recent years, the social fabric of Hong Kong has become increasingly torn apart, and people with different political views have been fighting against each other. As a result, such voices have begun to emerge in society. Some Christians are unable to resist the temptation of violence with the gospel of peace, and even some within the church have raised the same question. In their eyes, upholding justice, upholding righteousness, and expelling evil, as well as helping the weak and combating the strong, are the church's top social missions. Some believers even advocate "resisting violence with force" in a righteous manner, fully believing that such "sacrifice for righteousness" is most like Christ. ...

劉思恩 道學碩士三年級 Lau Sze-yan (M.Div. 3) 經文：詩一二六1-6（和合本修訂版） 耶和華果然為我們行了大事 　　在近期的早會，我們有機會聽到不少新同學分享蒙召見證。他們大部分都提到自己從沒想過修讀神學，或從沒想過當牧者。對於走上全職事奉的路，許多同學當初都有掙扎，或不太情願。我認識一位初出茅廬的傳道人，他的情況卻不一樣。他在大學二年級蒙召，畢業後已很想立即接受神學裝備，結果卻沒有如願。他開始在社會工作，一直等待有一天可以進入神學院。五年過去，八年也過去，他還在等待，等待上帝的時間。他心中不禁想：上帝是否真的呼召我？還要等多久？...

蔡禮遜 道學碩士三年級 Choy Lai-shun (M.Div. 3) 經文：徒八26-40 前言 　　今天我會與大家看腓利向埃提阿伯太監傳福音的事蹟，一起從中學習。從使行傳八章5至6節，我們知道腓利既會宣講耶穌基督的福音，又能行神蹟，並且他在撒瑪利亞的福音工作有相當好的果效。第6節說：「眾人聽見了，又看見腓利所行的神蹟，就同心合意地聽從他的話。」第8節更說：「在那城裡就大有歡喜。」這真是一幅美麗的圖畫！我相信大家一定期望自己的福音工作有這種果效，我們都憧憬自己的福音對象「同心合意地聽從」我們的話，並且「大有歡喜」。只是，我們也明白，福音工作的果效如何，並不是我們能夠完全掌握的。因為這是聖靈工作的範疇，就正如保羅給哥林多教會的教導一樣，他說：「我栽種了，亞波羅澆灌了，惟有神叫他生長。」（林前三6）作為傳道者，我們可以做的，就是栽種和澆灌，並且思考如何做好我們的本分。因此，今天藉著腓利向埃提阿伯太監傳福音的事蹟，讓我們一同思考：一個傳道者應有哪些特質？甚麼特質是我們應當學習的？...

杜韻婷 道學碩士三年級 To Wan-ting (M.Div. 3) 經文：約十三1-20 愛到底的示範 　　我認識一位院舍院長，她是基督徒，已經七十多歲。她退休之前，每日都親自去照顧院舍裡每一位院友。院友都是身體嚴重殘障，且有智障的，他們所有的日常活動，都需要人照顧。院長大清早五時多就預備早餐，與另外兩位姊妹一起餵他們，幫他們洗澡、更衣，帶他們上特殊學校……。總之，院友全日的起居飲食，都得到無微不至的照顧。院長到了某個年齡，不得不退下來，才讓護理員去照顧他們。...

Preaching is an extremely important ministry for evangelists. They must be loyal to their calling throughout their lives, explain God’s words with all their heart, and undertake the ministry of preaching. The "Graduation Preaching" restored by the college more than seven years ago is to allow a group of prospective evangelists who are about to graduate to practice in preaching service, experience God's grace in it, and receive encouragement from the entire college community. , reminders and blessings. ...

There are many life and death education courses in the market, but most of them are fragmented lectures that fail to specifically and comprehensively deconstruct the issues of life and death. Thanks to the Baptist Theological Education Department for offering this course, which allows me to connect Christian theology with life and death education, and to understand other religions’ views on life and death. This course helped me learn how to face death calmly, understand "transitioning from death to life", and actively face the difficulties of life and death. I also learned to understand the feelings of bereaved people and walk with those who grieve. ...

How does it feel to face death? What do we say, think, imagine and hope for before saying goodbye? What can we do to prepare for the day of "saying goodbye"? Since the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary (HKBS) launched Christian life and death education last year, it has received a lot of positive responses. This year, our College’s Theological Education Department once again co-organized a Christian Life and Death Education Seminar with the church. The theme was “Before the Day We Say Goodbye…”, exploring people’s feelings and needs when facing death, and how to help them say goodbye to their families. In addition, the Believers’ Theological Education Department will launch a new “Certificate in Christian Life and Death Education” course in October to provide believers with master’s level training. ...
