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.”

Here are some comments from those who attended a prior workshop in this series:
- “The integration of spiritual and operational stewardship gave me ways to apply what I’ve learnt to my church.”
- “Learnt about stewardship vs being controlling, using our time, talent and treasure to serve the community of God, and bringing order from chaos, to benefit the community in church and at large.”
- “Very important reminder that we don’t own the ministry.”
- “Every good things come from God. Organisational structures and strategies are spiritual in nature as much as financial wisdom that the scripture often teaches.”

Theology of Work – Module 2: Vocation
Why and how is your “ordinary” work God’s sacred vocational calling for you?
Martin Luther argued that when a baker bakes bread, God is feeding the world through the baker’s hands. This module explores Luther’s recovery of ordinary work as vocation and its challenge to the sacred-secular divide that still shapes how many Christians view their jobs.
We will consider what it means to understand your specific work as a calling, how that affects the way you inhabit your role, how you navigate ambiguity, and how you think about transitions across a working life

Happy Teacher’s Day 2026!
Happy Teacher’s Day 2026! We Appreciate You!
As Singapore celebrates Teachers’ Day on 4 September 2026, we at East Asia School of Theology (EAST) give thanks for the teachers who faithfully invest in the lives of our students. At EAST, teaching goes beyond imparting knowledge. It is about forming the whole person—Head, Heart and Hands—equipping men and women to think biblically, grow in Christlike character, and serve faithfully wherever God calls them. But what does a good teacher look like through the eyes of a student? Three current EAST students—Joel De Vera from the Philippines, Candy from Indochina, and Themreiso Lamlang Awungshi from India—share how their teachers have shaped not only what they know, but also how they live, serve, lead and follow Christ.

Come Visit EAST at Antioch Summit 2026!
1–3 October 2026 | Paya Lebar Methodist Church
What does it mean for the Church in Singapore to have a “sacred ambition” to see Christ made known among the nations?
This October, Christians from across Singapore will gather for Antioch Summit 2026, the fourth Antioch Summit in the Decade of Missions (2023–2033). Organised by Antioch21, the Summit brings together people from across the Church around a shared vision of seeing the Gospel reach every nation.
Anchored in Romans 15, this year’s theme is “Sacred Ambition.” The Summit invites participants to worship and pray together, seek God’s heart for the nations, and consider the part He may be calling each person to play in His global mission.
