Group 5 (Shek Kip Mei) of Yip Chun Si’s Master of Divinity students took a group photo on this spiritual training day.

The mother church of my church is in Pak Tin, and the mother church of my church is in Tai Hang Tung. Our first inspection site that day was Tai Hang Sai Estate, which is exactly the place I must pass between my mother association and mother church for many years. I am familiar with Tai Hang Sai Village. The church holds camps and often uses Tai Hang Sai Village as one of the checkpoints for field orientation because it is a large place but not many residents. Most of them are elderly people and there is no administrator intervention. We, are a great place to play group games. Until now, we have not asked much about this community. We only know that there are plans to rebuild this area, so the church hopes that after Tai Hang Sai Estate is rebuilt, it can serve the residents there. However, during this community visit, the tour guide told us the story behind the development of the community, which completely changed my idea of serving this community. ...

After the "Tujia" tour guide led a group of 20 of us to complete the guided tour in the old area of To Kwa Wan, he gave us an extra itinerary, which was to visit an old dilapidated building. 's rooftop. This rooftop is on the roof of a tenement building in the district. Since this place has been abandoned for a long time and the building is about to be rebuilt, the residents on the left and right sides simply regard this place as a garbage collection point and throw away all their old furniture and electrical appliances here to save the effort of taking them to the garbage station on the street. One day, some residents couldn't bear it anymore and decided to clean up the place. But there was a lot of rubbish, so they contacted the "Repair Hong Kong" volunteers who had been volunteering to help them repair electrical appliances to clean it up together. It is said that the volunteers spent at least seven full days of their spare time carrying the garbage in a human chain to clean up the large and small garbage. Now this place is very neat, painted with beautiful pictures, and has become a place for watching the sunset and for children to play. ...

It provides a place to support the residents of the community, bring neighbors together, and build a mutual-help network through simple home repairs. They quietly "work hard" in the community. Isn't this what the missionaries who came to China did in the past? ...

The tour guide took the students into the streets and alleys of Yau Ma Tei, allowing us to get to know this old community that is facing reconstruction. We first came to Portland Street. There are several direct cross-border bus stops here, and there is a new cluster of hotels next to it, which stands out from the surrounding old district facilities. The tour guide pointed out that the development of Hong Kong's tourism industry has led to the closure of many old-style shops. With the closing of the store, people gradually drifted apart, and the strong human touch of the old community was no longer there. ...

Pastor Lin Guobin's spiritual training before the start of classes. Our school starts a new school year in August; every year we hold a three-day and two-night "spiritual training camp" to prepare teachers and students for the new school year. In January, we started the new school season with "Spiritual Exercise Day". We start the new school year and the new academic quarter with spiritual training camps and spiritual training days respectively, which are concrete actions to express that the college attaches great importance to the spiritual cultivation of teachers and students. A theologian said: "Praying without studying makes people empty; studying without praying makes people blind." For theological education, study and prayer are integrated with each other and cannot be separated. In the spiritual training camp, we learn to live in groups: worship together, listen to sermons together, and share with each other in groups. On the spiritual training day, there are different spiritual cultivation themes every year for teachers and students to learn, think and experience together. ...

On January 16 this year, our college held a "Spiritual Training Day" to prepare teachers and students for the new academic season. The theme of this time is "Going into the Community", but how can understanding and serving the community be spiritual exercises? What does it mean to “work hard” in the community? How does all this relate to evangelism and missionary mission? ...
