EAST Thanksgiving 2025
A glimpse of EAST Thanksgiving 2025
On 7 November 2025, EAST Community gathered for a time of Thanksgiving as the students ended their classes for the semester. This event was organised the week just before the exam week as a faith step since some will travel immediately after their exam. The current cohort of students comprise of nationalities from 12 countries including Cambodia, Germany, India, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. The event kicked off with a warm welcome by emcee Jing Fei (Singapore) wearing a Peranakan themed shirt (ready for the “Ethnic Fashion Show” afterwards). Then our youngest student Isaac Do (Vietnam) teamed up with Ruth Hmway (Myanmar) to lead the crowd in an exciting time of games. The first question was, “What is the main purpose of Thanksgiving for Christians?” Dr Samuel, an EAST faculty, shouted, “To eat turkey!” He recanted by stating, “To thank God for His blessings!” to approving cheers from all present.

Student’s Testimony: Field Supervisors’ Tea 2025
Field Education is an important aspect of theological education at EAST. Students practice what they have learnt in class through actual field ministry under the supervision of Field Supervisors from churches, mission agencies, and like-minded organisations. An annual Field Supervisors’ Tea was held recently at EAST to thank them and recount the impact of students’ field ministry. Below is a student’s testimony of his field ministry. Here is Fred’s story:
St. Andrew’s Cathedral is a very beautiful church in Singapore, located right beside City Hall MRT station. I have brought several friends there when they came to visit Singapore. They all liked this place very much and enjoyed taking photos there. During those visits, I also noticed many tourists taking photos. But after taking pictures, they just left. No one gave them any gospel tracts, and no one shared the gospel with them. When I saw that, my heart felt very burdened. I remembered the Bible says, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” I also thought of the saying, “If someone comes to a treasure mountain, how can they leave empty-handed?” They already came to the church, yet they did not hear the gospel. What a pity that is!
