Graduands’ Testimonies
Left: Japheth Chew, Right: Lee Poh Chin (EAST Graduands 2023)
EAST News (EN) had an opportunity to have a chat with both Japheth Chew (JC) and Lee Poh Chin (PC), both of whom will graduate on 20 May 2023. Japheth came to EAST in December 2021 from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, to pursue a Graduate Diploma. During his studies, he has also served as the EAST Student Council Vice President and worshipped at Cornerstone Community Church. Poh Chin, a Singaporean, has served in the education sector for a few decades, both locally and overseas, before starting an EAST Master of Arts program in July 2020. She currently worships at Covenant Evangelical Free Church and was a core-team leader of the Hillington Green Covenant Group (CG) before it went back to on-site meetings.
Below is an extract of the short interview done with both of them by Tan Eng Kwang (Associate Dean of Advancement) regarding their experiences at EAST.

How may you receive help while navigating through uncertainty in life?
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope”. Romans 15:13 – ESV
Who may you trust to help you reach your destiny with hope?
Being A Winsome Witness for Christ
How can a believer be an effective & winsome witness for Christ?
Learn from Ms Janice Chuang, EAST Adjunct Faculty who previously taught Building Spiritual Movements. Students who enrolled in her class have often caught the vision and how-tos of initiative evangelism from her winsome witnessing lifestyle.
So, if you are seeking to learn how to better love your neighbour and witness winsomely with the love of Christ, do consider going for her online training. Read more
