Despite the COVID-19 plague, the 2020 Winter Conference is still happening, 28–31 December, but this year we’ll be offering participation online. The 2020 theme will be ‘The Living Sacrifice of the Church’ (Romans 12.1–8). As announced at the 2019 conference, our keynote speakers will be Sam Tsang and Dale Burke.
Sam Tsang (PhD, University of Sheffield, Biblical Studies), also known affectionately by his peers and students as ‘Dr. Sam’, is an adjunct professor at HK Baptist Theological Seminary and Ambrose University, Canada; he is also a full-time truth-seeker, author of more than 50 Chinese and English books, and family man. After two decades of full-time church ministry and academic teaching, he writes and speaks on topics he feels passionate about: biblical discipleship, spirituality, literacy, interpretation, and preaching. When he is not busy working, he enjoys spending time with his family and playing sports he loves (soccer, weight training, and martial arts). Please feel free to visit him at engagescriptures.org or write him at samtsang@engagescriptures.org for consultation, speaking, preaching, and coaching needs.
