Welcome and Smiles at Aleph 2022
We recently welcomed this semester’s new students on the first day of the EAST Aleph, which is our orientation program for new program students each academic year. Our Dean of Students, Rev Dr Casey Lok welcomed the new cohort on the first day of Aleph, and we had a brief round of introductions to hear from each new student as a way of introducing themselves to the EAST community. It is always an encouragement to hear how the hand of God was present in guiding our new students to EAST for their season of equipping.
Many of our new students come from different regions around the world. The intercultural friendships we have with students and alumni from all around the world which have greatly enriched our faith with the stories of how God has been journeying with them throughout their lives.
Again, a big welcome to our new students, and the Lord be ever-present with His grace throughout this new season of a learning journey at EAST!

Hearing Each Other Out in Inter-generational Dialogue
East Asia School of Theology and Capelle Church Equip recently hosted an inter-generational dialogue titled “Hello, You’re Muted,” over the joys, challenges and hopes of Christian leaders across the generations.
The panel presented and interacted over three aspects of ministering across the generations. They engaged each other’s thoughts and constructively responded to a number of questions from the floor covering the generational challenges on multiple fronts. These include having conversations with (and between) children in the family, recognizing the merits of the different generations, having genuine interest and concern for the younger generations, responding well to leadership, recognizing the need to nurture upcoming generations, and cultivating a helpful culture of interaction that facilitates healthy conversations in the long run.

Upcoming Webinar: Jesus in Conflict (Jerusalem)
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, Rev Dr Keith Shubert from our faculty will look closely into the accounts of how Jesus handled conflicts(often with the Pharisee and Sadducee authorities) in His visits to Jerusalem to glean lessons relevant for us today.
Dr Keith, as we affectionately know him, has been teaching the Bible for many years, and he reminds us frequently, “The Bible is not for your information, but for your transformation.”
