Korean Missionary Lesson on “Powerful Leader”
Micah Min and family came to EAST to study for his Master of Arts in Biblical Studies degree. He graduated in 2017 but not before he discovered EAST as a place, “where I grew [in] intimacy with God and with people….”
He admitted that before coming to EAST, he “used to think that a powerful leader is simply one who is very charismatic and passionate, and able to make people under him produce results.” He then concluded, “but I learned that a powerful leader is one who is humble and cares for people genuinely.”
