2026 Thematic Bible Conference, This Independence Day Weekend

Thematic Bible Conference this year will be held in Williamsburg, VA (and online everywhere else), over the Independence Day long weekend, 3–5 July 2025. We shall study the book of Nehemiah, as a natural continuation of last year’s Ezra (See past TBCs). Participation is available through your own Internet connection, wherever you are, or else at our site in Williamsburg, VA.

Bible study sessions on selected passages in Nehemiah will be held on site and online during the conference. There will also be lectures by speakers including the Rev David Pawson, as well as Drs Stephen Lee (李思敬) and Bernard Wong (黃國維), past and present presidents of CGST (中國神學研究院).

Conference registration will be open soon. Plan to join us also for an excursion to the nation’s capital for the 250th anniversary of America’s political independence.
Mark your calendar and stay tuned.

New Scholarship Allocation Established to Support Students Impacted by Wang Fuk Court Tragedy

W4CAA offers the George Shen Ministry Scholarship to support students who demonstrate strong Christian service, zeal in campus evangelism, commitment to inductive Bible study leadership, solid academic performance, and financial need. The scholarship honors George Shen (1946–2021), a devoted servant of God known for his ministry among Chinese students.

The Scholarship Committee announces that applications for the George Shen Ministry Scholarship for the upcoming academic year (2026–27) are now open and continue to be accepted.

In response to the tragic fire that occurred in November at Wang Fuk Court (宏福苑) in Tai Po, Hong Kong, the Committee has authorized the allocation of one additional scholarship award for this cycle. Priority consideration will be given to applicants who have been directly affected by the incident. If applicable, please indicate your Wang Fuk Court impact status under “Other” in Section 1 on the application form and briefly describe any special circumstances.

All eligible students are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible. Further information may be obtained from the Scholarship Committee.

NB: If an applicant still in Hong Kong and have not yet applied to college in the US, it’s still not too late. Many 2-yr community colleges in California are still accepting applications.

  • Be enrolled (or expect to be enrolled) in an undergraduate program at a 2‑ or 4‑year college in North America, or in a graduate program at a research university or seminary in North America.

Scholarship Award

Awards take effect only after enrollment is confirmed.
Recipients may:

  • Receive partial or full support (e.g., tuition or room‑and‑board voucher) for a specified number of terms, based on financial need.
  • Be invited to apply for renewal if they remain eligible and have completed the W4CAA Inductive Bible Study Leader certification.
