Mentoring Groups in Ministry Action
Each of our MGs(Mentoring Groups) at EAST has spent the recent weekend serving together in ministry over various platforms to bless communities in Singapore and abroad. The annual MG Ministry Weekend has traditionally been a time for the faculty, staff and students in each MG to spend a weekend together to serve at a ministry located either in Singapore or within the Southeast-Asia region.
Most of our MGs have faculty, staff and students from a range of different countries, so this an intentional season of cross-cultural ministry that starts from within each Mentoring Group to eventually reach out to communities either in Singapore or around the region.
The MG Ministry Weekend is a time where ministry skills are sharpened and leadership is developed in our students, as each one takes on responsibilities in various segments of ministry and team leadership. Team dynamics are also developed, as members within each MG communicate with each other and serve together with teamwork.
Chapel Services and Community Building
A few weeks back when the numbers of Singapore’s community cases of COVID-19 were rising, the whole country went back into Phase 2 of Heightened Alert with enhanced safe management measures. As a result, all our classes went back fully online, along with our weekly chapel services. How did it impact our community building?

EAST@Chapel – 28 July 2021
We give thanks that our community has been able to come together online for worship, prayer, exhortation and community during this season of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) measures in Singapore. It has been nice to see our local and international alumni occasionally tuning in as well.
Rev Jonathan Yao, our Dean of Advancement has taken the opportunity as one of our Chapel speakers to give our community a reminder that Jesus Christ has called His disciples to be servant leaders. He said to His disciples that “whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave” (Matthew 20:26-27 ESV). Messages like these are good reminders in our journeys of personal transformation at EAST.
While this way of gathering is different from the usual Chapel with us each other in person, we still appreciate the opportunity to have conversations and pray with each other as an intentional community. We definitely look forward to our Chapels in the coming weeks!
In the meantime, the Lord be with you with His grace, protection and provision in your family.

Our Favourite Recording Spot!
We just want to thank God with a grateful heart for His provision of a nicely-furnished Lounge which has become a prime location of choice for our video shoots! We also WARMLY WELCOME new students who are beginning the journey with us to enjoy the facility for Christian fellowship too (while following safe measurement measures).
To date, our Lounge has been chosen for a good number of worship sessions, interviews and even preaching sessions recorded on camera. This room will continue to serve the EAST community well as a place of rest, fellowship and yes, good videos!
See the video below for a worship session recorded at the Lounge!
