God’s Unique Program of Study

Lo Wan-wah (M.Div. 1) It turns out that the time has not come yet. I do not come from a Christian family, but I am very grateful that I believed in the Lord when I was a child. At that time, my aunt took me to the church's children's worship and also attended the children's Sunday school when I was five years old. There were only three children in the Sunday school at that time, but there were two teachers. They taught very hard, and I believed in the Lord at that time.

Emotion, because the time for study passed quickly, I lamented that I did not seize the opportunity to read and learn more when I was receiving various trainings in the seminary in the past few years. ...
