The day that Au Ching Yan graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies... God decided to call her for the first time when she was still in primary school. As He expected, she responded.

Midway, a graduate of Chen Zhihu's Master of Taoism, feels that he has not yet received his graduation certificate! Beyond the completion of classroom studies, what marks the “completion” of a theology graduate? As a missionary worker, is there really such a thing as "finished" and "unfinished"?

Although busy, this period of time is also a good opportunity for me to reflect on life. Because I am about to leave a country I love, a place where I have lived for thirty-six years, and return to the place where I was born.

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.

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.
