Looking back on the three years of full-time theological equipment, they were "both happy and emotional." I am happy, because entering the seminary is a gift from God, a response to God’s call, and a starting point for devoting full-time preaching and service. When I was studying theology, I often dreamed of serving in the church after graduation. Even though I had my moments of weakness, I thanked the Lord for His protection and kept me from forgetting that serving the Lord was something I had longed for.

This awakening made me start to learn to be the Lord’s disciple, and also to learn to preach the gospel and make disciples.
