Transforming Leadership
Is leadership a job, a position, or is it a passion and a calling?

A transformational servant-leader is capable of bringing about change in organizations and individuals. Taught by Dr. Roland Tan and Mr. Nelson Lo, this course examined the underlying theology, leadership theory, and skill set of such a leader in today’s world.
Building Spiritual Movements
Most Christians wants to be effective witnesses and spiritual multipliers but never quite know how to go about it. The course teacher, Ms. Janice Chuang, taught an effective and practical approach in building Spirit-filled multipliers by following Jesus’ example and strategy.

“Amazing how God changed my heart and mind regarding evangelism through my lecturer and classmates!” — Guia Gonzales, an EAST student.

EAST MG Retreat 2016
At the EAST Mentoring Group Retreat 2016, speaker Dr. Robert Solomon shared how one can be “apprenticed to Jesus.”

In Solomon’s three messages on Matt. 11:25-30, he spoke on “Come to Me,” the central paradigm to the Christian life is not “doing” or “being,” but “being with.” “Take My Yoke” differentiates between holy restlessness vs. neurotic, nervous restlessness. “Learn from Me” is becoming like Jesus as we deeply imbibe His Word and imitate His Walk.
“The pew cannot rise above the pulpit,” declared Emeritus Bishop Solomon. The minister must spend adequate time in the open bible.
Besides the plenary messages, the staff and students were able to spend rich time with the Lord personally, in worship as a community, enjoying the fellowship and food, and having fun together as a school. Praise God for a great “soulful” start to a new semester!
