In one of our recent Ministry Weekend webinars, Jacob Li, our faculty was sharing a number of useful tips for leading bible study online. These are relevant for anyone using online platforms for teaching ministry.
Here’s a little snippet of the points covered: Technology Engage Ask Questions Cheer Homework

Shalom, and the Lord grant you effectiveness in your ministry online.
Our Mentoring Groups have been serving together over the recent weekends in various webinars as an outreach to the community over online platforms.
As the webinars covered a range of varied topics, we have gleaned much from the learning experience of hosting the webinars and listening along to our speakers’ messages.
This year’s Ministry Weekend has indeed been a unique one for our Mentoring Groups, as we learned how to reach the community online instead of physical seminars. Yes, it was a steep learning curve as online platforms were new to many of us. Still, we are giving thanks for the learning experiences we have had in adjusting to such new normals in ministry.
As we look ahead to new normals and new challenges in ministry, we can keep Deuteronomy 31:8 in mind as our encouragement from the Lord:
The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
– Deuteronomy 31:8 –
Be blessed and encouraged, as you walk with the Lord today and in the days ahead.
It is a good to speak blessings over each other in the Lord. A recently-written song has worded the Lord’s blessings in a way that we can sing over each other:
The Lord’s favor be upon you, and a thousand generations, and your family, and your children, and their children, and their children.
This blessing we pray over you and your family, wherever you are around the world.
Mrs Josephine Li, EAST Partners in Ministry Faculty, shared at the last chapel service that this was how she discovered God’s will and vision for her life:
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2, ESV)
