Henry Tan: Great Commission Disciple-making
EAST Chapel Service Message by Dr Henry Tan: The Great Commission and Disciple-making
At a recent EAST Chapel Service, we were graced by Dr Henry Tan, President of the International Leadership Consortium (ILC) of which EAST is a member. He spoke on “The Great Commission Disciple-making.” It covered today’s challenges facing discipleship and staying committed to the One who calls us to Himself and the task of the Great Commission in making multiplying disciples.

Last Chapel of 2022
Rev Jacob Li & Mrs Josephine Li emceeing the final chapel as partners in ministry.
The last chapel service of the semester was held on 2 November 2022, concluding the series of chapels on the theme of “Committed to Growing in Christlikeness”. Mrs Josephine Li together with her husband Rev Jacob Li co-emceed the service. They warmly welcomed a few of our alumni who joined us for chapel that day including Bataaraa, a church planter from Mongolia, Ps Timothy Saw from Myanmar, and Mr Chan Kok Meng who is currently serving at Yio Chu Kang Chapel as a church staff. There were also some visitors who could be potential new students at EAST as well. Josie and Jacob started off with an ice-breaker by asking the audience to search for a piece of paper beneath their chairs. Four of them had to share a personal thanksgiving and the most memorable thanksgiving came from Kok Meng, who shared, “I thank God that I could be be married be Diana in 2018!” Everyone cheered as they are both EAST alumni and met while studying at EAST. The four who shared a thanksgiving walked away with an NTUC voucher each! There was much to be thankful for indeed.
In Thanksgiving – for This Semester
We had our final Chapel of the semester this week. In this season of safe distancing, EAST has been convening online for all the Chapels this semester. For many of us who have been at EAST for a while, these online Chapels have been very unique in the history of EAST.
We give thanks that online platforms have been available for us to ‘meet’ for Chapel, worship God synchronously, and even interact and pray for each other in breakout rooms!
We also give thanks that we are now into the last week of classes for this semester. It has definitely been a steep learning curve for our faculty and staff to switch over to online teaching platforms, and tough for our students to be in front of the computer for longer hours than before.
With a spirit of thanksgiving we approach the end of this semester, and also with thanksgiving, we look forward to the fellowship and guidance of the Lord for the semesters ahead.
We say a big “Thank you!” to everyone who has been journeying with us in these times, and we pray that Jesus keeps each one of you close to Him now, and in the seasons ahead.
My Grace is Sufficient For You
God’s all sufficient grace.
Jacob Li and Liong Kwok Wai’s Mentoring Group recently gave us this reminder at Chapel, as we recalled and recorded recent instances of God’s grace on slips of paper, which we pasted together to form a big “GRACE”.
Piecing together all the testimonies also reminded us that altogether, they spell “GOD”, the One who has made all these possible.
May the grace of God indeed prove sufficient for you.
