MA Student Themreiso L Awungshi: More Than Assignments, Living the Dream God Planted in Me
Below is a reflection by Master of Arts in Biblical Studies Student Themreiso L Awungshi from Manipur, Northeast India, from what he had gleaned from his time at EAST.
The last month has been deeply humbling and faith-strengthening for me. I have seen spiritual leaders around me live out their faith with love, concern, and passion for God’s work and their lives have inspired me to walk more closely with God.
On the first day of class, I saw our professor, Dr. Roland—a loving, caring teacher and experienced leader—cleaning the ground with a water hose. His humble act of service demonstrated true servant leadership. I was deeply moved and inspired to become like him. It reminded me of Jesus’ words: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant”(Matthew 20:26, NIV).

I want Singapore to be strong and prosperous in the next 60 years, where her people live in unity and harmony.

I want Singapore to be a friend to her neighbours and a contributor to all efforts of peace around the world.

May God help her embrace everyone, regardless of race, colour, status, ability or appearance, with love and generosity and also bless her with friends from many shores and enable her to contribute to every effort of peace around the world.
