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? ...

The Conception Seminary in the new teaching and research building of Zhang Lin Xiaoya, Chief Administrative Officer, has made great progress in various aspects such as curriculum innovation and teaching team in the past few years, and the number of students has also continued to increase. In order to support the sustainable and long-term development of the college, the Board of Directors established the "Campus Development Planning Committee" in early 2016. The purpose is to comprehensively understand the development needs of the college and formulate relevant plans. The "Campus Development Planning Committee" immediately established a "Architecture Team" under its jurisdiction, inviting talented professionals to serve as consultants to assist the college administrators in handling land lease modifications and provide professional advice on how to effectively use campus space. After carefully examining the development conditions of the college, the "Campus Development Planning Committee" recommended to the board of directors to build a teaching and research building on campus. The board of directors approved and accepted the proposal, and handed it over to the "construction team" to implement the recommendations. Teachers and students of our college have received the latest information on campus expansion, and professors have also provided opinions on the facilities required for the development of teaching and research in the college. The "architectural team" and professor representatives, together with architects, communicated and discussed with each other to shape the design of the new building. ...

Dean Cao Weitong still remembers that when I took office as the dean nine years ago, a member who cared very much about our hospital came to me and offered to make a substantial donation to the hospital for the construction of a new building. At that time, I thought that I had just become the dean and the school was in dire straits, so I wanted to seek God’s guidance and teach me how to lead the seminary out of the gloomy trough. I cannot live up to the love that my members have given to the college, but everything must be in line with God’s timing, and the top priority is to get the college back on track. So I made up my mind before God and quietly cultivated the soil given by God in the seminary. Wait for the time God has prepared to come. ...

The third phase expansion project of the "Baptist" Western Australia school building is now in full swing. Therefore, we specially invited Dean Cao Weitong to share the vision and needs of the campus expansion plan, and explain the relationship between the "Faith, Hope and Love Project" and the expansion plan. In addition, we also invited Mrs. Zhang Lin Xiaoya, Chief of Administration, to introduce the content and development of the expansion plan so that everyone can understand the current situation.

Wong Fook-Kwong, Professor of Old Testament, seeking God’s will for one’s life is a concern of many Christians. In this article, I would like to discuss the method proposed by Gary Friesen in his book "Decision Making and the Will of God" - "The Way of Wisdom" (The...

Dai Shengming, Master of Divinity, and Teacher Liu Zhenpeng embarked on a spiritual voyage. On January 4, 2016, I officially entered the country and came to Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary ("Baptist") from the mainland. My first impression of "Baptist" was that it was quiet and peaceful, clean and tidy. "Baptism God" faces the sea, like a big ship anchored on the shore, ready to sail out to sea at any time. The image is very strong and can be said to be extremely beautiful, far beyond what I imagined. Surrounded by such beautiful scenery, I prayed to God, entrusted my study and life for the past two years to Him, and looked forward to a bright future. ...

He Minchao Master of Christian Studies He Minchao and teachers Deng Shaoguang completed the two-year Master of Christian Studies program in the blink of an eye. It’s time to leave Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary in a blink of an eye. I entered the school with a "problem awareness" and still remember my decision to enroll in this course. One of the reasons was because I participated in the theological trends workshop hosted by Teacher Deng Shaoguang at the "Theological Thoughts" Bible Study Conference. This was in 2016. At that time, Teacher Tang led a group of participants to think about what kind of theology Hong Kong’s current social and political situation requires. He also said that the church in Hong Kong cannot respond to the social situation in Hong Kong because the church has not focused on thinking about this issue in the past. The church cannot respond because it is actually just bearing the debt it has incurred over the years; however, we now realize that It is better to recognize a problem and start thinking about it than not to think about it at all. It is with this kind of "problem awareness" that I entered "Baptism", hoping to think about relevant issues for the church together with other people of the same mind. ...

Tao Wanzhu, who holds a master's degree in Christian studies, entered Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary with a heart "like a deer thirsting for water." Four years have passed since then. Thank God for allowing me to know the true way, allowing me to be satisfied and transformed in life! Looking back on this period of time, it is like an adventurous journey, but it is full of God’s preparation and protection. ...
