A little historical review: Not every called person is born with a good singing voice, but in the hearts of all called people, there is a hymn connected to the calling; and a group of called people’s most authentic singing is the "baptism of God" ” Characteristics of the choir and “God-baptizing” sacred music gatherings. Over the past fifty-nine years, our generations of theological students and generations of called people have witnessed God’s faithfulness and grace through singing. Their singing has also become a continuous testimony of “Baptist God” in front of everyone and all churches. ...

It is a new thing this year that the College of Chan Laiwa Chan's third-year Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies arranged for fresh graduates to preach in the morning assembly. For a group of students who have barely stepped out of the factory, it is a good thing to be able to try their skills in the academy for the first time. However, it is not easy to stand in front of teachers, classmates and co-workers to preach. It is such a big challenge. I believe that the students will not be without their struggles! I really want to applaud this class of students who have the courage to accept the training of preaching. ...

A step preached by Huang Baiming in the graduating class of Master of Divinity. For me, August 2009 was the beginning of the last year of my life as a theological student. When I started school, I already told myself: "Time will fly by very fast, no matter the people and things around me. Cherish it!" Graduation preaching is a rare opportunity, shouldn't it be cherished? It seems easy to say it, but now that I think about it, I stepped onto the podium of the college with trepidation that day! ...

We have extracted the following passages from the sermons of three graduating students to share the sermon information with readers. Although these paragraphs are only a small part of the entire sermon and are inevitably a bit fragmented, we still hope that readers who are unable to attend the morning meeting can share bits and pieces of the graduation sermon. Somewhat coincidentally, these three sermons jointly reveal the would-be evangelists' spiritual reflections on their own duties from different levels...

The "Graduation Sermon" added this academic year will give the graduating class an unforgettable experience. This class of students has an opportunity that many senior brothers and sisters have never had - to stand on the podium at the college's morning meeting and preach information in front of teachers, classmates and a group of co-workers in the college. Precisely because they are prospective preachers who are about to leave school and apprentices who are about to "fulfill their teachings", the college feels that it is necessary to give them a special opportunity to preach and practice, so that they can be encouraged and reminded, and they can continue to preach throughout their lives. Forget the reminder from your alma mater: Preaching is an extremely important ministry of the preacher. ...

When She Qingji, assistant professor of Old Testament, wrote this book, it was the beginning of a new academic year at the seminary. This is my first year teaching full-time at "Baptism". Although I have participated in the teaching work of "Baptism" in the past two years, I have only been a special lecturer part-time. The day I became a full-time teacher was also the time when I said goodbye to the Bible translation work of the past ten years. Therefore, this is an appropriate time to review and look forward to the past and the road ahead. ...

Lam Chi Ching, a graduate of the Master of Divinity, continues to struggle: Have I heard the wrong call? It has been four years since I entered the seminary to receive theological equipment in 2006 and graduated this year. Looking back on the past four years, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs. The changes in people and things around me have caused many impacts, which have brought many difficulties to my theological career in the past few years. I once asked God: "Am I capable of completing the entire theology course?" "Have I heard the wrong call?" In the past few years, these struggles have continued to occur in my heart, but God has called me out of these struggles again and again. Seeing His kindness, God continues to strengthen my faith and reliance on Him, allowing me to deeply appreciate His faithfulness and mercy. ...

Li Tianhui, a first-year Master of Divinity student, has seen from an early age: How real the God that my parents serve is. I received the grace of the Lord and was born and raised in a Christian family. I have known and accepted him since I was a child by attending church and going to Sunday school every Sunday. lifestyle pattern. My parents are preachers. Through my parents’ trust in God and their experience of serving, I saw how God cares for and blesses our family. Although our family has only relied on my father’s salary for many years to make ends meet, God has always provided enough so that we lack nothing in life. Later, God led my father to pastor a church in Australia, and the family moved overseas. Back in Australia, God miraculously prepared enough money for my parents to buy a house. It turned out that this house was the residence God had prepared for them in their retirement days. This shows that God’s provision is truly complete and exceeds what people can imagine. beg. Things like this have allowed me to see with my own eyes since I was a child how real the God my parents serve is. ...

Full-time ministry seemed out of reach for Meng Jiansheng, a first-year Master of Divinity student. I made the decision to believe in the Lord a year before I graduated from college. When I recalled my first faith, my heart was full of fire and I was very eager to practice spirituality, attend Sunday school, and preach the gospel. One day, I prayed at home: "O God! I am willing to serve You full time in the future!" At that moment, I was convinced that God had indeed listened to my prayer. ...

Zhang Zhili (Jerry E. Juergens, Emeritus Professor of our college) Information collection: Zhang Lin Xiaoya came back from the dead - Guangzhou Baptist Theological College and Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary Everyone wants to know their ancestors. In fact, they are far away from us. Before we are born, our historical relationships begin to shape who we are. The Guangzhou Baptist Theological College closed in 1951, and the Hong Kong Baptist Theological College (formerly known as the Hong Kong Baptist Theological College) was founded in the same year. Legend has it that although the fire phoenix died in the fire, it was reborn from the ashes and spread its wings to fly high. Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary is like a phoenix. Its birth was due to the closure of Guangdong and Guangxi Baptist Theological Seminary. The delicate relationship between the two seminaries is more appropriately compared to the Christian belief in "resurrection from the dead." Life does not end with death, but is renewed by the power of God. Jesus said: "On this rock I will build my church, and the power of death will not prevail against her." (Matthew 16:18; New Chinese Translation) The work of training leaders for the Chinese Baptist church was carried out in Guangzhou in the 1980s. Five years later, Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary took over the baton and continued the mission. The purpose of this article is to trace the historical relationships between the two seminaries. ...
