S.Adam Sathiya Jeevan | 45^th Anniversary Dinner Programme Manager

As Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (STM) commemorates its 45th anniversary, it does so with profound gratitude and a resounding sense of purpose. For 45 years, STM has been a beacon of knowledge, enlightenment, and spiritual growth, shaping the minds and hearts of countless individuals within its community and beyond. To mark this significant milestone, STM hosted a memorable celebration in the form of a fundraising dinner, aptly themed “Celebrating God’s Greatness – Psalm 145:3.”

The event, held on April 13th, 2024, at Choong Wen Function Hall in Petaling Jaya, brought together our council members, alumni, faculty, staff, guests, and friends of STM, uniting them in a spirit of fellowship and shared dedication to the institution’s mission and vision. The evening commenced with a warm welcome from the organising committee, followed by a reflective video journey of STM over the past 45 years. Attendees were treated to inspiring speeches from the STM President, accompanied by a duet performance by Dr. Chong Siaw Fung, the principal, and Vongo, a student, as well as musical performances by the STM community.

The fundraising aspect of the evening served as a reminder of the crucial role in sustaining and advancing STM’s mission. Through the generous blessings of donors, STM can continue to nurture future generations of theologians, pastors, and leaders who will answer God’s calling.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to those who have shown dedication and hard work for the event. Though their efforts may go unnoticed, they are deeply appreciated. Without them, our achievements would not have been possible. The countless hours spent assisting us and the support from the STM community, including those behind the scenes, are the invisible force that keeps everything running smoothly. The STM worship band, multimedia team, and performance groups from the community were exceptional and talented.

As the evening drew to a close, there was a sense of renewed hope and determination among all those present. The celebration of STM’s 45th anniversary was not just a reflection on the past but a forward-looking affirmation of the institution’s closely connected future. With gratitude in their hearts and a shared vision for the future, attendees departed, knowing that indeed, His Grace is sufficient to sustain and guide STM for the next 45 years and beyond.

In conclusion, the “Celebrating God’s Greatness”45^th Anniversary Dinner was a momentous occasion filled with joy, gratitude, and hope. It served as a testament to the transformative power of theological education and the enduring will of God for Seminari Theoloji Malaysia. As STM continues its journey into the future, it does so with confidence, knowing that His Grace will always be sufficient.
