感謝神！建道神學院自遷離廣西梧州，復建校於香港長洲之短短卅多年來，委實在各方面經歷神無數的恩典。在五十年代初期，建道復課之際，院舍只得現今的翟輔民樓，及後在故院長劉福群牧師的努力下，先後增添了艾溫思樓及福群樓男生宿舍，還有912、914、915等師長宿舍,至七十年代初，神感動已卸任的劉福群院長發起了興建校友紀念堂的計劃。待後爲記念劉福群牧師、師母對建道的貢獻，白如雪樓女生宿舍亦於七十年代末期落成，以上各項擴建工作，除了由熱愛建道的校友鼎力支持外，更主要的是有一群熱愛建道的肢體，海內外各教會不斷奉獻支持，爲此我們獻上衷心的感謝。

踏入八十年代，神藉著八十院慶讓建道得著更大的異象，也預備了現任院長張慕皚博士和多位熱心的院董爲建道訂立了十年發展大計。雖然，因經濟不景和政治危機的困擾，十年擴建計劃中仍有未達目標之處。然而，在籌建胡慕德紀念圖書館和近輝樓新男生宿舍的過程中，我們深深經歷到神是「耶和華以勒｣的神。胡慕德紀念圖書館已在去年三月卅一日的開放日中落成使用，經費方面除了由故院董胡慕德先生及其親人承擔外，主內各友好、教會、校友亦紛紛熱心支持，結果神的恩典是足夠有餘。直至去年初近輝樓男生宿舍動工興建,期間雖有不少波折和缺乏，然而在熱愛建道的肢體和校友們的努力下，至四月二十日「校友日暨近輝樓奉獻禮」之日，神的恩典已是綽綽有餘。爲此，我們深深向父神、向眾教會、建道之友及校友們致以萬二分的謝意，期望在往後的日子裏，建道的發展工作仍然可以得到各位的鼎力支持，以致建道神學院能夠在未來的歲月中，爲普世華人教會提供及栽培更多忠心事主的精兵。

*Monday, April 20, marked the Open Day & Alumni Day as well as the dedicating service of the new Philip Teng Hall at ABS. There were about 650 people in attendance at the various meetings, which included a morning seminar for about 80 young committed Christians who have shown special interest in becoming seminary students. A Thanksgiving Service was conducted in the afternoon with Dr. Philip Teng bringing a message and special music by the All Seminary Choir. The whole congregation then moved on over to the site of the new men’s residence hall for the dedication ceremony. We praise God for what He has done for ABS in the last ten years in the completion of the first phase of new development in the physical plant of the school, which includes a women’s residence hall, a library, and a men’s residence hall, with cost over 10 million Hong Kong dollars. We also wish to express our appreciation to all of you who have given to this development work sacrificially and faithfully. We pray that as we continue to expand for The Kingdom of God, He will bless us more abundantly in preparing His own servants.
