Tung Ling Seminary was established to meet the increasing need for trained workers in churches. The school offers certificate and Diploma/Bachelor programs.
Tung Ling, which means “Eastern Mountain”, in Mandarin, is inspired by Micah 4:2. History of Tung Ling
In the mid-70s, the Charismatic Renewal was sweeping across Singapore and Malaysia. During this time, God gave a vision to a group of brethren from Singapore and New Zealand, among them Elder Goh Ewe Kheng, Canon James Wong, Rev Des Short, Colin Campbell and Gordon Moore to establish a short-ter
m Bible School to equip and prepare workers for the harvest field. With the help of Faith Bible College, New Zealand, a curriculum was developed and in 1978 Tung Ling Bible School was established in Singapore. Tung Ling means ‘Eastern Mountain’ in Mandarin. The founding pioneers believed that God will train many workers in this “Eastern Mountain” and send them to the mission field based on Micah 4:2. Tung Ling is a ‘School of the Spirit’, charismatic in nature, inter-denominational and maintains a strong emphasis on the Word of God and the present working of the Holy Spirit. In 1993, God gave a burden to Rev. Dr. Eu Hong Seng to set up Tung Ling Seminary (TLS) in Malaysia to meet the growing needs of Malaysian churches. With the approval of the TLBC Board, Singapore, the Malaysian Board was set up comprising Rev. Dr. Eu Hong Seng (Independant) , Rev. Wong Kim Kong (Independent), Ps. Richard Toh (Baptist) , Ps. Phua Seng Tiong (Methodist), the late Dr. J.S. Devaraj (Anglican) and Bishop Andrew Phang (Anglican). The diversity of the board reflected the independent nature of the school. In 2001, Tung Ling expanded her wings to India and conducted the SOM in Chennai, India together with Harvest Training Institute. With the financial support from Malaysia, the school in India has trained more than 450 workers, out of which 150 of them are in full time ministry. In 2006, Tung Ling Seminary, Malaysia launched the Masters Programs in collaboration with Mattersey Hall, United Kingdom, the largest Pentecostal Bible College in Europe. The Post Graduate Programs are validated by the University of Wales, Bangor. The first batch of students graduated in 2009. In 2009, Tung Ling Seminary, Manila was launched to run the 12-week School of Ministry. 20 students attended the inaugural course. The Bible School is hosted by Jesus Reigns Ministries. In the same year, we launched our Doctor of Ministry Program in collaboration with Mattersey Hall, UK. Also in 2009, Tung Ling Seminary launched an extension centre in Ipoh hosted by Ipoh Pastor’s Fellowship. The extension centre offers the 12-week School of Ministry in English. In 2014, we started the Mandarin School of Ministry. Tung Ling has now expanded from Singapore to Malaysia and India.

They say the only thing more certain than the end of the world is a Bible student’s curiosity about how it’s going to happen. The End Times hold significant theological implications for believers, emphasizing the sovereignty of God, the fulfillment of His promises, and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Dr Bernard Chong will help us navigate through this event that are going to take place and how we are to prepare ourselves.
Amidst all the clamour and complexities of life, many today are searching for the answers to life’s big questions – the same questions King Solomon sought to explore in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon was unmatched in knowledge, wealth and accomplishments. Writing Ecclesiastes in his latter years with the benefit of experience and hindsight, Solomon reflects on the mortality of man and the ambiguities of life. He observes that life can be lived ‘under the sun’ (devoid of God and substance) or ‘under the hand of God’ (with God and with significance). In this chapter-by-chapter study on Ecclesiastes, Dr Daniel Kim unlocks the secret to ultimate living from Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived.
