An "understanding" from the caregiver - empathic understanding of the life experience of the person being cared for. Everyone longs for the love and care of others, and hopes that their encounters and experiences on the road of life will be regarded as real. Be able to gain acceptance and attention from others. This is human nature and basic needs. ...

Teaching: Establishing a Christian community to think about the importance of "teaching" and "relationship". At the opening ceremony of the new school year, I invited teachers and students to engage in new learning topics together. In the past six years, our study focus has included preaching, missions, pastoral studies, etc. In this school year, we will have more thoughts and explorations in the field of church education. ...

Teaching: Know and discern that Christian education is "education of love." In the last issue of "Words from the Dean," I mentioned that "love" is the greatest gift. People who love are filled with the Holy Spirit, and love is a gift of the Holy Spirit. From the interpretation of 1 Corinthians 3, 12 to 14, we see that the church’s teaching is to build up the body of Jesus Christ and the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit in love. Christian education is "an education of love." ...

Discernment of the Church In the last issue of "Teaching: Discernment by Knowing," I pointed out that discernment is not a method of solving problems in a parliamentary debate, but a process of pursuing the truth. It is an act of practical wisdom. This process of discernment includes “the truth we feel,” “the truth we think about together,” “the truth we receive,” and “the truth we experience in prayer.” In short, discernment is to seek a more comprehensive and abundant truth, a truth that can set people free. Such truth can bring about spiritual transformation and collaboration and companionship in life. ...

Moving forward in the direction of preaching, I became the dean in 2009, and before I knew it, it had been exactly ten years. Looking back on these ten years, God often taught me in subtle and subtle ways. His wisdom is truly unfathomable and astonishing. Whenever I feel that the road ahead is difficult and I don’t know how to move forward, God always guides me step by step. Sometimes He sends inspiration through the environment, and sometimes through the voices of teachers and students, or the calls of church members, He guides the college to move forward step by step from many aspects. ...

A sad season The issue of the sewage pumping station resurfaced again last year at the beginning of the new semester, and I had a feeling that the 2018-19 school year would not be an easy year. In June last year, we learned that the government planned to build a giant sewage pumping station only 5 meters away from the college gate. In fact, as early as March 2009, not long after I took office as dean, I had already begun to face this difficult problem. At that time, nearby villagers took the initiative to contact the college, hoping to gather the voices of neighbors to oppose the plan. ...

Trust each other and preach the goodness of trusting each other for God. On May 1 this year, the annual conference service of the Hong Kong Baptist Convention was held. I was invited to be the speaker and shared the message about "trust". I very much hope that all the Baptist churches can trust each other, and as pastors leading the churches, we should also strive to make the sheep we shepherd trust us. During my sermon, I also mentioned topics such as power, service, and calling. ...
