EAST Aleph 2014
EAST Aleph 2014 has started since 7th July and will run for two weeks! We welcome some 30 new students who are being matriculated into their degree, certificate, or language programs. Day one of Aleph was filled with introductions, worship & Word, heart connections, games, and prayer… We are grateful for the Student Council whose presence and participation was such an encouragement to all.
We look forward to journeying with these students for the next few years at EAST. Praise God for the privilege and pray for the journey!

Christian Leadership Foundations (LF510, 3 credits)
July to November 2014
Fridays, 2.00pm – 5.30pm
Prepares you to lead yourself well before you are used by God to lead others well. The course examines the biblical standard of leadership against some popular leadership ideas. You will discover how God has uniquely designed you as a leader in areas of gifting, passion, personality, and life experience and also how these define your ministry opportunities. A self-care and developmental plan is based on an understanding of physical, mental, social and spiritual conditions. As you attempt to discover your personal vision and mission from God these have implications for personal management of time, talent and treasure over a lifetime. Ministry models of a shepherd, a steward, and a servant in leadership will also be studied and applied.
