Wei Xiong, Master of Divinity, with his wife Shuzhen, daughter Qiaoru, and son Zhanru. I thank God for leading me to answer the call and enter "Baptism" to receive equipment in the "midfield" of life. It has allowed me to experience three years that will be unforgettable in my life. As we enter the second half of our lives, we have opened a wonderful new page, which is all God’s abundant grace. ...

It has been 20 years since Zhang Ting, a first-year Master of Divinity student, escaped death and became a Christian in Alice Springs. I have been serving zealously. Perhaps when others see that I am actively involved in gospel ministry, they often ask me if I have considered becoming a preacher. I firmly deny it because I don’t think God has such a calling for me. Furthermore, I wholeheartedly want to be a "strong woman", but I feel that working hard in the workplace and serving with all my heart in my spare time is already ideal. Therefore, I never thought about being a preacher until a “miracle” happened and I heard God’s call for the first time. ...

In the first year of Zhang Weichun's Master of Taoism, the thought of suppressing his studies for eleven years resurfaced. In 1997, I went to Seattle, USA to study and lived with my eldest sister. In October of the same year, my eldest sister, my church choir, and I went to Vancouver to visit other churches. On the night of our return, my eldest sister, two brothers and sisters and I drove back to Seattle. While the brother was driving, the sister laughed and said, "Brother, are your driving skills okay?" The brother replied, "Don't worry, we have eternal life!" After a while, he said again, "No, the little one sitting in the back is okay." My younger brother has not yet believed in the Lord. “Little brother, do you want to believe in the Lord?” I nodded and responded, “Yes.” When I got home, they led me to pray for a decision, and I became a Christian. ...

Professor Deng Shaoguang of Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) - What exactly is the "public theology" that has emerged in Western theological circles in the past two decades? Do we really have something called “public theology”? In English there are public theology and theory of the public. Of course, the meaning of "public theology" in Western theological circles cannot be determined solely by the use of English words. However, this short article of the author does not intend to examine the "public theology" of Western theology, but aims to provide personal reflections. The following article will first start with these two English words, and use their traditional usage to show what the author personally thinks: "What public theology (is not)", so as to provide a negative and negative definition of "public theology" , and at the same time shows its positive and affirmative meaning. ...

In recent years, many theological schools in Hong Kong have successively launched doctorate in philosophy and pastoral ministry courses. I thought to myself: Why has it still not been long since the Baptist School launched a doctoral program? I believe this is also the expectation of many students, alumni, and pastors. Recently, I learned from a teacher that "Baptist God" will soon launch a doctoral program in theology. I am really grateful for the college and theological students, as well as the church and the pastor. For "Baptist", this marks the beginning of a new page in the college's important mission of cultivating church successors. I believe that the new curriculum will adhere to the teaching philosophy that the college has always valued, which is to combine teaching, research, and pastoral training. On the one hand, it will cultivate teaching talents who can devote themselves to theological education in the future. On the other hand, it will also improve the teaching and pastoral skills of in-service pastors. Maintain quality in ministry. ...

Our school will launch a doctoral degree program in theology in the spring of the 2012-13 academic year.

Later, in 1999, the college officially established a graduate school and offered a master's degree program in theology. ...

Zhou Peishan, director of distance education courses, calculated on her fingers that I am walking on the road to new years and it will be exactly ten years this year. Nian Minglu took me through the sunny and rainy days of three years of Master of Divinity and three years of Master of Theology. He also led me into distance education courses and became a co-worker in this department. For me, Nianming Road is a road leading to education, which led me to receive theological education at "Baptist God" and then serve God here. The long and narrow Nianming Road is interspersed with teachers, co-workers and classmates. When classes started at the end of August this year, many new footprints were added to the road. This group of new students who have just embarked on Nianming Road and are ready to devote themselves to full-time ministry are full of energy, adding a new atmosphere to the "God-baptized" scene on Nianming Road, and also triggered my thinking about education and theological education. ...

Ou Shaoxian, Master of Divinity. In the midsummer three years ago, I started a new chapter in my life at "Baptism" with trepidation. I entered seminary to be equipped because my call from God was clear and I had a very real peace and assurance in my heart. However, since my residence was quite far from the seminary, I spent a lot of time traveling by boat and car every day after school, which inevitably made my body feel tired. Moreover, it has been almost 20 years since I put down my schoolbag. In addition, I am not young. It is really a great test to re-enter a new environment and study a full-time course. Also, in addition to intensive study, it is not easy to properly balance family life and church service. In the face of all the above difficulties and pressures, I can’t remember exactly how I got through them. Looking back now, I can’t remember them all clearly. I only know that God’s grace has been uninterrupted during this period, and it has become more and more abundant! ...
