Alumni’s Sharing – EAST 25th Anniversary

EAST alumni share from their hearts at the occasion of the school’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.

 

We thank God for the privilege of equipping these graduates toward Christlikeness as servant leaders for the Great Commission in East Asia and around the world. We are also grateful for His faithfulness in seeing us through the past 25 years and we do look forward to His supernatural outworking in the next 25 years and beyond.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

EAST Alumni Association Launched

The EAST Alumni Association was launched during the Alumni Retreat 2017 in Singapore, as part of the inaugural EAST Homecoming (10 – 14 May 2017). In the presence of alumni, students, faculty and staff, the Alumni Chaplain designate, Mr Lim Aik Ghee, shared his passion to see alumni being networked, resourced, and developed multi-laterally beyond graduation. (Aik Ghee graduated the next day at the EAST 23rd Commencement Service and is thus an alumnus as well.) An international voluntary pro tem committee of alumni was then set-up to begin defining the purpose and process toward the formation of an inaugural committee. Please uphold this process in prayer and look out for updates in the not-too-distant future!

Homecoming Dinner 2017

The first EAST Homecoming Dinner 2017 saw some 80 alumni, faculty and staff, Cru Singapore leaders, and Board members gathered together. We praise God for the time of refreshed fellowship, rekindling of vision, and an opportunity to give toward the setting up of the EAST Alumni Association. We are thankful that the well-loved Dr Rick and Laurel Langston greeted all through video. The next two days after the Dinner was the Alumni Retreat 2017, another first! Hallelujah!
