Below is a short reflection of our new student Sebastian Tramitz from Germany. He is embarking on a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry at EAST while relocating to Singapore and embracing a new culture, or many new cultures at EAST and equipping himself here. His short reflection of his journey to EAST is below.
I know about EAST through various people I met on my journey of finding my path to change location to Singapore. One key person was a board member of EAST whom I met at the church I attended. He got me in touch with Cru Singapore through another person on the board of Cru. He then connected me with a Cru ministry leader and alumnus of EAST, which finally led to the meeting of Jonathan Yao and a site visit on which I made a decision that I want to apply.

Why go for Theological Studies? Why consider EAST?
Why EAST?
When considering formal theological education, a couple of important questions need to be answered. First, should I even go in the first place? If so, then the next question becomes, where should I go?
Regarding the first concern, it should be asked, are there other and better ways to be trained and developed or is getting a formal degree the best course to take? It is also good to ask, what is my motivation? Do I want this degree for the status and respect it will afford, or do I see it as a genuine opportunity for growth and development that will open new doors of Christian service and a deeper level of love for and knowledge of God?
