Prayer Pointers -16 December 2021
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13 :34,35 -ESV
We thank God that we are loved to love, blessed to bless. It is God’s command that we love one another, and in doing so, to be disciplined and responsible for our health and that of other’s. Safe distancing and getting vaccinated are social responsibilities and norms to keep safe and stay healthy for ourselves and others.
Praise God that vaccination and booster jabs are available to our International students and that many have benefitted from it.
Pray for:
– God’s continual protection for our International students here and their extended families in their home countries.
– God’s grace and favour for all to experience love in this season of love.

God’s Bespoken Blessing to EAST
Blessed Charity Ong joined EAST as an intern in 2019 to complete her Communication Master’s degree and then stayed on as a volunteer. She designed many of our EAST’s collaterals and equipped the Advancement Team with media design and communication skills. She is the design genius who helped to initiate the EAST’s rebranding project and came up with a new brand kit and logo. This happened as we relocated from 110 Middle Rd to our new permanent campus at 118 Joo Chiat Rd. Read about Blessed’s journey in her own words and her motivation to bless EAST for His glory.
Blessed’s Journey in Design & Communications
It is actually a story of creating and developing something out of nothing. My first ministry was being part of the Music Team. But as our church grows and expands its vision to becoming a church that adopts the digital trend, there came a need to fill in that gap. And as a young person at that time, with zero knowledge on all the media tools and softwares, I prayed and asked for my parents’ support to switch from my current college program to Multimedia Arts, to hone my skills and to help further the advancement of our church ministry. So I believe what I have in my hand at that moment is only a desire to serve and with that hope, that I want to be part of something great.
