Bobby Sng Scholarship for Theological Studies

 

The Bobby Sng Scholarship for Theological Studies (BSSTS) was launched a year ago (15 October 2021) under the auspices of The Bible Society of Singapore. It also commemorated the anniversary of the passing of Dr Bobby Sng, the namesake of the scholarship. He was the advisor and former President of the said Bible society. The scholarship aims to fund needy Singaporeans or Permanent Residents who are doing theological studies and are/will be involved “in Bible missions, in community service, and in youth work.” The three areas are what Dr Sng was passionate about in his life and ministry.

Dr Sng was quoted as saying, “The Gospel has endowed us with a compelling message–love for God and love for our neighbours. The post-War generation of believers, most of whom hailed from non-Christian homes, have sought to remain faithful to God’s Word, addressing issues as they have arisen. But, our journey has not ended. New issues and challenges will present themselves and these must be met. May the coming years witness a new generation of believers who are equally determined to present God’s unchanging Word in changing times.” Amen!

Those words resonate with East Asia School of Theology which are aligned to our mission to “develop Christlike leaders for the Great Commission.” EAST is grateful for being recognised as one of the eight Singapore-based theological institutions whereby program students may apply for the above scholarship.
