Evening Speaker - Rev. Joseph Tong  

唐崇懷牧師出生福建廈門，幼時隨母移居印尼，後獻身傳道事工，於印尼牧會多年後，1971年往美國深造進修，獲得多項神學學位(B.D.；TH. M. - Calvin)，之後又於1978年取得南加大教育心理學博士學位(Ph. D. - USC)。學成之後，曾任心理治療師，後有感於上帝的託付，一直致力於神學教育的事工迄今，現擔任美國國際神學研究院院長，主授系統神學、哲理神學、心理學及管理系統學等學科。

唐牧師以其早年於印尼擔任區牧及在美國華人教會事奉的經驗，加上日後在神學知識上的充足，今日得以擔任美國加州神學研究院院長(International Theological Seminary)。該校創立於1982年，因鑑於第三世界的國家政策逐漸限制外藉宣教士入境，而當地又缺乏培育工人的場所，為滿足培育第三世界的神學教師及以在職和未來的教會領的迫切需要設立了國際神學院，現今在唐牧師的努力與推動下，學生來自世界各地，教授九成是第三世界的同工。尤為可貴的是學生在完成學業之後均紛紛返回本國事奉。而這不僅是國際神學院的神學與宣教的合一，也是今日正確的宣教觀念---訓練當地的人向自己的同胞傳福音。今天，不論在中國大陸、回教地區、俄羅斯、非洲地區---都有該校師生的腳蹤。
