Contemporary Worldviews – Online Evening Course
Contemporary Worldviews (TS562, 3 Credits, Online)
12 January – 12 May 2023, Thursdays, 7.00 pm-9.00 pm
Building on a basic understanding of what a worldview is, this course examines the major contemporary worldviews competing for the hearts and minds of today’s people and societies. Explore how we as Christians can better understand, appreciate, interact with, and challenge them in genuinely God-honoring ways. The result will be increased confidence and competence in addressing non-Christian worldviews, freshly presenting the gospel, and better effectiveness as disciple-makers.
EAST Homecoming Reunion 2022
Over 120 alumni, faculty, staff and children attended the Homecoming Reunion in celebration of EAST’s 30th anniversary on 18 Nov 2022.
I graduated in 2002 with a Master of Divinity when EAST was at Dorset Road. I remembered fondly my time there: together with school friends, we either had meals at Cambridge market (‘Hokkien mee’ or seafood soup) or at KK Hospital. Upon graduation, I lost contact with EAST and most of my school mates. It was only in 2017, when I joined EAST Alumni Relations Office, I was back in the loop with some alumni. I managed to compile the database of every EAST alumni. But many of the alumni that I have been writing prayer emails to were just names to me. During the pandemic, I got to see some of them during the Alumni Zoom meetings. A week before the Homecoming Reunion, I managed to meet up with some alumni who visited EAST. I was able to meet up with Sufen (Taiwan) after 20 years. I met Baataraa (Mongolia) and Timothy Saw (Myanmar) when they came to visit EAST during the last chapel.
Prayer Pointers 24 November 2022
Are you led by the Lord to be sent to the harvest field or be a sender or be a supporter?
And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2 – ESV
Yet are you hesitating, because you are doubtful of His call or lack the equipping to do so?
Leading Multicultural Teams – Online Evening Course
Leading Multicultural Teams (IS565, 3 Credits, Online)

Explore various aspects of Christian leadership within the context of multicultural teams especially in a church or a Christian organisation setting. Students will begin to evaluate their own cultural biases and grow to adopt a posture of leadership that will enhance the strengths of their multi-cultural teams, thus moving towards synergy in fulfilling their God-ordained call for the expansion of the Kingdom of God.
Adjunct Faculty: Cambodia EEC Teaching Reflections
4th November 2022 was a special day for me. Not only it was a day where I took to flying after close to three years of pandemic restriction, it was also the day that EAST Extension Centre (EEC) could conduct classes on location. The class in Cambodia was probably the first to meet face to face since the pandemic.
I was there to teach New Testament Narratives class to a cohort of students taking Master of Arts in Leadership and Graduate Diploma. This cohort started in 2018 and they are mostly Christian workers. There are organisation leaders, church planters, teachers, Crusade staff and even a missionary from Singapore who has been in Cambodia for 19 years. Before the pandemic, EAST sent instructors to Cambodia several times a year to cover the modules necessary for them to complete their programme.
