Journeying in EAST as Families & Couples

 

Many of our students at EAST are married, and quite a few are in Singapore as international students with their families. Going through the EAST learning journey as a couple/family enriches our students’ seminary experience and allows their families to grow together as a community.

The wives of our students who attend classes in the Partners-in-Ministry (PIM) program are also equipped along with their husbands, and both husbands and wives learn to appreciate and support one another in life and ministry. As much as we are interested in the biblical, theological and ministry skills equipping of our students, we also look out for the well-being of our marriages and families as an important aspect of our emotional and social health.

We do get to see each other’s children as we visit each other and bring along our families for yearly EAST events. These are times when we get to see that the EAST community is actually bigger than just our faculty, staff and students.

We thank God for our families, and we thank God for putting community around us.
