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 2026. 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 on Discord, 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. Lectures will feature 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).

Conferees joining in person at Williamsburg, can join others also for an excursion to the nation’s capital for the 250th anniversary of America’s political independence. There are 2 other options in terms of the attendance dates (enabling conferees, it so choose, to enjoy on July 3–5 an excursion to DC for the 250th USA independence anniversary):

  1. Arrive early to attend the pre-conference dry run (from June 30 to July 2) during which all prerecorded talks will be previewed and all bible study passages will be pre-studied alongside all bible study leaders.
  2. Stay 3 more days in Virginia to attend the post-conference re-run (July 6–8) during which all recorded talks will be replayed and all bible study passages (led by intern bible study leaders trained during the conference) will be re-studied.

For both options, free lodging in Williamsburg from June 30 to July 8 will be provided to conferees who register (and pay) by April 20, courtesy by Alumni Association.
Registration will be open soon. 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 (宏福苑大火) 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: Even if an applicant is still in Hong Kong and has not yet applied to college in the US, it’s still not too late. Many 2-year community colleges in California are still accepting applications.

Eligibility

Applicants must:

  • Show talents in Christian service (e.g., leadership, music, communication, interpersonal skills).
  • Demonstrate zeal in campus evangelism.

  • Show academic achievement and financial need.
  • 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.
