Mentoring Group Ministry Weekend to 6 Cities

This year’s Mentoring Group (MG) Ministry Weekend sees teams of MG ministering in Batam, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Medan, Pontian, and Singapore. The four-day event allows staff and students to serve the churches and Christian organizations as needed. In the process, it engenders team building and lessons learnt from doing ministry cross-culturally.

“The church offers diverse ministry opportunities and there are already very good exposure established through this trip with the church which we may continue to nurture in future trips,” mused one team with members from six nations.

Teachers & Staff Appreciation Day

Teachers and Staff appreciation day came at the last chapel where the Student Council recrafted a familiar song to sing of the work and ministry of these stalwarts. Cupcakes were given out to all faculty and staff while a humorous poem was the icing on the cake. Happy Teacher’s Day! Happy Staff Day!

“No Needy Person Among Them”

EAST new resident faculty, Mr. Jacob Li, gave a devotion at a recent Chapel service. He profusely thanked the EAST community for the graciously warm welcome that he, Josephine, and their young family have experienced in their transition to Singapore.

From Acts 4:32-35, he exhorted EAST to continue growing as a Christlike community that sacrificially shares their heart, time and possessions so that “there is not a needy person among them.” Praise God for the evergreen reminder!

The collage also shows Jacob’s Mentoring Group (MG) and prayer for Dr. Keith Shubert, co-MG leader, on his birthday.
