In whom or what are you hoping? by Dr Lewis Winkler
With the recent coronavirus outbreak, people have turned in a myriad of directions to find hope. Some have turned to the government and medical professionals to protect them, others have turned to miracle cures available for purchase on the internet, still others have turned to superstitions and rituals to provide the defenses they need to combat this unseen menace.
All of this illustrates that people hope in lots of different things: economic prosperity, global initiatives for solving climate change, better political leaders, educational reform, religion, meaningful friendships and romantic relationships, good food and drink, the newest diet plan, the latest entertainment options and social media platforms, better healthcare—the list is nearly endless.
An alumnus, Zoloo Tsedendamba Zoljargal, shared one of his most significant moments at EAST, that of leading his eldest child to Christ: “One evening he suddenly asked me many spiritual questions. I felt it was time to share the gospel with him.” That night he has had the joy of seeing his own child coming to know the Saviour.
Zoloo‘s reflection showed the heart of a father and who rejoiced in the salvific work of the Heavenly Father. He is a Master of Arts in Leadership (2020) graduate and a former Student Council President. His wife, Muugii, likewise graduates with a Partners-in-Ministry certificate (2020).
