China Lutheran Seminary

On 26th Oct, there are six FELM friends visiting CLS. Rev.Tuula Sääksi

(FELM Deputy Director and Director of Department of Mission), Ms. Ulla-Maija Säärilahti(Regional Coordinator), Dr. Pirkko Lehtiö(Retired Seminary Professor) and one young couple Mr. Antti Nironen(theological student) and his wife Mrs. Maija Nironen.  Ms. Ulla-Maija was very excited about this new build because last time she went to CLS, it was under construction by digging the basement!

The Library of China Lutheran Seminary has revealed its brand new and fashionable style on Oct 15. Praise be to God! We really appreciated that a lot of volunteers from church congregation, Hsinchu Branch of Prison Fellowship Taiwan and Drug Rehabilitation Village of Miao-li offered their energy and time with us to finish moving around 30,000 volumes of books one day.

 We are also indebted to the late Dr. Louise Robbert, the wife of Dr. George Robbert, for her willingness to donate her husband's personal library to the new library.  Rev. Thomas Yu, President of CLS, donated his personal library to school as well. We hope all the readers can catch the wisdom of God's words from this theological treasury.
