1973 年永光書院落成於橫頭磡，五十年化雨春風，不但在知識的培育上，同時在基督信仰的價值觀上，為同學們樹立了楷模，讓他們在社會發揮影響力。而永光堂也因為有永光書院校園作為基地，使許多邊緣少年因為認識基督而生命改變。為了隆重慶祝書院五十週年校慶，總監督郭志榮牧師邀請了國際五旬節聖潔會主理主教德亞瑟博士蒞臨香港主持感恩崇拜。主理主教指出，永光書院今天所取得的成果，實在要感謝前人因為認識神、敬畏神而得著的智慧，並他們為見證神所付出的努力。

主理主教的提醒，正呼應著陳淑嫻牧師所說屬靈成長的重要性。陳牧師指出，基督徒之所以算得上「長大成人」，是因為我們深切明白並遵行「義的話語」，就是「神眼中看為正的教導」，否則我們的年歲雖然逐年增加，但在屬靈生命上，永遠只是個無知的「嬰孩」。

香港區會監督甄浩業牧師在他的分享中多次提到「提摩太」，這也是一個十分重要的屬靈隱喻;強勢如使徒保羅，他所開展的工作，必須有年輕的同工作接班人把工作延續下去。保羅要把他畢生的牧養和事奉心得傳授，而繼承者提摩太也要對事奉有熱誠，有一顆受教的心，對神對人同樣有信心和愛心。但提摩太不單是保羅事工上的接班人，更是保羅的屬靈兒子，在基督裏所生的兒子。甚麼叫做傳承?保羅和提摩太在基督裏的父子關係，實在值得我們好好去琢磨和反思。

PHC Wing Kwong College was established in 1973. Throughout the 50 years ever since, numerous students have been grown not only in terms of the conveying of knowledge but also, more importantly to be precise, the building of a Christian faith. The College has been the base of Wing Kwong Pentecostal Holiness Church’s ministry, through which many lost kids’ lives were touched and transformed in the love of Jesus Christ. To celebrate the College’s Golden Jubilee, Rev. Eddy Kwok, Field Superintendent in Hong Kong of IPHC, invited Presiding Bishop Doug Beacham to attend the Thanksgiving Service. The Presiding Bishop expressed gratefulness for all the pioneers who started the school out of the wisdom that came from the fear of God and worked selflessly for the glory of God.

The Presiding Bishop’s message echoed Rev. Freeda Chan’s sermon about the importance of spiritual growth. Rev. Chan explained that all who follow Jesus Christ could be considered “grown up” only when one understands God’s “words of righteousness” and follows. One must live out God’s teachings. Otherwise, even though one grows old year after year, one would stay a spiritual “infant”.

In his sharing message, Rev. Alan Yan mentioned “Timothy” plenty of times. This is a very important metaphor. One as strong as Apostle Paul needs younger successors to inherit the mission and ministry. While Paul is so willing to pass on the key to success, he needs a Timothy who is passionate and willing to learn. Timothy is not only Paul’s successor in ministry but also his spiritual son. In this sense, what is “inheritance”? This special ”father-and-son” relationship in Christ is a worthy topic to reflect upon.
