Lan Zhiyang, Assistant Professor of Christian Education The Legendary Life of Elijah When we read the stories about Elijah in chapters 17 and 18 of 1 Kings, we will find that Elijah is an out-and-out legendary figure. Elijah’s name first appears in 1 Kings 17:1: “Elijah the Tishbite, who was a stranger in Gilead, said to Ahab, ‘As the LORD lives, whom I serve, the God of Israel. "If I don't pray in the past few years, there will be no dew or rain."

Feng Yongmei, Bachelor of Theology Yongmei, her husband Jingren and their son Huiyan looked back on the past six years and found that many things did not go as I thought.

My theology course was supposed to be completed in four years, but due to the birth of my child during this period, I started studying subjects at a slow pace from the second grade. It took me six years to obtain this degree. Year after year, watching the classmates around me graduate one after another, it is really a variety of feelings in my heart! All I can say is that God’s plan is far greater than we expected. ...

Wong Siu Kee, Master of Divinity, and his wife, mother and sister faced learning difficulties and entered the first semester of "Baptism in God". Many questions arose in their minds, such as: Do I need to know the process of writing the Bible? Why do we need to know so much about the history of doctrinal development?

Brothers and sisters are called to enter the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary ("Baptist"), which is to enter a community of disciples of Christ and receive theological education. They learn to be disciples of the Lord together in the group fellowship, equip themselves with biblical and theological knowledge, learn to practice their faith and pastoral skills, and cultivate spiritual character. Even if the environment changes and there are ups and downs, everyone still faces life and learning challenges together, experiences the brokenness and renewal of life, broadens spiritual horizons, and learns to obey the unexpected plan of the Lord. I wish this graduating class to continue to be favored and used by the Lord, to become His worthy servants, to preach the gospel, to establish churches, and to expand the Kingdom of God. Now, let us listen carefully to the reflections of the graduates of the theology course of the main school.
