Graduate Henry Aung: Do Fewer Things With More Love
Learning to slow down, know God, and embrace His heart for the world
In a culture that often equates busyness with faithfulness, slowing down can feel counter-intuitive. For Henry Aung from Myanmar, an MDiv Teaching & Exposition graduate at East Asia School of Theology (EAST), learning to slow down became an important part of his theological formation. Henry, 29, moved to Singapore with his mother when he was nine years old. During his studies at EAST, one of his steepest learning curves was discovering how “not to rush about with busyness, accept my limits, and do fewer things with more love.”

Below is the text of her speech delivered at the Commencement Service. You may watched her delivering the graduate’s reflection on YouTube too.
Years ago, I was in Japan packing up after a year of ministry. As I packed, I was trying to figure out what would happen when I returned to Singapore. Would I go straight into long-term missions? Would I return to working as a pharmacist? Would I study online? Would I work in church? Little did I imagine that three years later, I would be standing here today with all of you, graduating from seminary. And so I left Japan and returned to Singapore at the start of June 2023.
