The Advent season is here
The Advent season started last Sunday and we are into the second week of it. Let us prepare our hearts to ponder anew the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ whose name is Immanuel meaning “God with us”.
Studying Job with Dr. Mona Bias
This is a Zoom Screenshot of the Exposition of Job class with Dr. Mona Bias held from Nov 25 to Dec 4, 2020.
EAST has been privileged to invite Dr. Mona Bias, from International Graduate School of Leadership (IGSL), to teach the Book of Job as an intensive class over the last eight days. Dr. Bias is a published author and has co-authored A Commentary on the Book of Job. She is both scholarly and creative in her approach of teaching which included Zoom breakout sessions, videos, a class debate, times of quiet (lectio divina) in listening to God and a class play through dramatic narration aside from written assignments and a book review for the credit students.
Happy Thanksgiving
A very Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! Truly, this is the year that we need to be thankful to God for everything we have – our family and friends, our health and every breath. Let us not take anything or each day for granted but live each day for His glory.
Update on Tuvshuu & Burnee
Tuvshintugs Tsogtbaatar (Tuvshuu), MA in Leadership (2018) and Burenjargal Jargal (Burnee), PIM Cert/ Grad Dip in Christian Ministry (2018), with their daughters Gerel (11) and Inuka (8), and family pet Lila. (Youngest son, Tergel, inside mum’s tummy at that time) Early November 2020
Over a week ago, on 7 November, Tuvshuu and Burnee, EAST Alumni from 2018 welcomed the arrival of their third child and youngest son named Tergel. In Mongolian, “Tergel” means “full moon”. He has been given this name in the hope that his life will fully reflect God’s light, just like how the full moon reflects the light of the sun. Also, that his life will be full of light and be complete like the “full moon”. His arrival has already brought much light and completion to the Tsogtbaatars, living up to his name.
5 Fitness Tips from Rev Estella Liu
During our final Chapel of this semester, Rev Estella Liu, a faculty member of EAST who is part of EAST Extension Center led everyone in an exercise segment before Chapel started. We asked her for her top five fitness tips:
- Exercise with someone close to me. I cannot do it alone.
- Join a diet group which requires me to post everything I put in my mouth.
- Download a work-out App and choose suitable ones to follow. I had to change to a lighter routine when my back hurt.
- Keep the nice but tight dresses (pants for the gentlemen) to encourage myself to wear them again someday.
- Sleep early and get up early. This I wish I can do but it has not happen yet!
