Student Themreiso: So Much More Than Assignments
Below is a reflection by second year student Themreiso Awungshi (MA in Biblical Studies) from Manipur, 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 Tan—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).

Wishes & Prayers for SG 60
For SG60 With Love
Below are Wishes and Prayers for SG60 from the EAST community, in Singapore and around the World. May God bless Singapore to be a blessing to the nations within her borders and beyond.
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 nation where equity, integrity and truth are the foundations of everyday life; where there is no discrimination of race, colour, social status, individual ability or appearance. I want Singapore to be a community of love, where people look after one another and where generosity roars. I want Singapore to be a friend to her neighbours and a contributor to all efforts of peace around the world.
May God bless Singapore with strength and prosperity and give into her heart, equity, integrity and truth that she would live out in her everyday life. 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.
