• Rev. Dr Stephen Oliver teaches New Testament and Luther’s Theology courses at China Lutheran Seminary in Hsinchu, Taiwan. He also serves in the seminary administration as Director of the Graduate Program in Luther Studies, managing the Master of Theology in Luther Studies program. His heart and vision are focused on preparing servants of the cross for the great harvest in the Chinese world (John 4:35-38, Matthew 9:36-38).
• He not only is interested in reaching out to Mainland with the Gospel through various means, but also personally visited the site of Hankow where the Concordia Seminary main buildings still stand intact and well maintained by the local government. He encourages us to not only envision what can be done today through free publications but also hope for what Lord may open up for us in years to come in the land where LC-MS pioneer missionaries had faithfully and diligently planted the seeds.
