The friendly and unfamiliar environment of Zhang Qiuming, Master of Divinity. I still remember today three years ago. I participated in the college’s spiritual training camp with teachers and classmates from “Baptism”.

In the past, Jiayi Yang, Master of Divinity, felt that studying theology full-time was far away from me. She thought that enrolling in the evening theology course for believers was serious enough. I never expected that I would be called to enter a seminary, nor did I expect that these three years of full-time theological training would turn out to be such wonderful years given to me by God. God allowed me to truly experience that He is a faithful Lord, a Lord who sympathizes with my weaknesses, understands my needs, gently shapes my life, and walks with me. ...

The Weide Wang Master of Divinity program started in 2000. God spoke to me through the words of the Bible and some experiences in my life.

Fung Kit-ying Master of Divinity Course 1. Belief in the Lord, Growth and Service When I was in primary school, I followed my teacher to Tai Kok Tsui Baptist Church and felt that the people in the church were very friendly. After I decided to believe in the Lord in middle school, I returned to the "Corner Baptism". At first, my mother opposed me, which made the church life unstable, and then stopped. In 1982, I felt very disappointed due to emotional problems and completely lost faith in people. However, I remembered that God’s love is eternal and I wanted to return to the embrace of the Lord.
