In 2020, the world faced multiple challenges such as the pandemic, trade wars, conflicts, and natural disasters, which led to significant setbacks in both the economy and people’s livelihoods. In this context, our mission became even more important, dedicated to bringing support and peace to more families and individuals. In recent years, I have led the team in driving innovation in theological education, responding to God’s missionary calling, and achieving significant results in multiple regions. The number of students exceeded 2,000, with total participation approaching 5,000, and the number of doctoral students surpassed 300. Several disciplines have been accredited. Additionally, we have expanded our international influence, establishing multiple branches and completing important infrastructure projects. However, the greatest honor is not in the data or material achievements, but in seeing many lives transformed, team members humbly serving, and change brought through the power of the cross. This is the glory we most desire to witness.

Now, as we celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2024, we are grateful for seeing God’s work. All of this has been accomplished by God’s grace. This year, our seminary family has repeatedly declared, “God is faithful! God is good!”

We have seen God’s faithfulness and glory!
He will increase, but I will decrease!
Glory to God, until the Lord comes!
