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!

70th Birthday of Keith Shubert
EAST recently celebrated the 70th birthday of Dr. Keith Shubert, the Dean of Academics/Principal.
Affectionately called rabbi, father, or even Saint Nick, the staff, students, and returning alumni celebrated the life and ministry of the quintessential Bible teacher. Keith, may you and Jeannette continue to experience God’s bountiful provision as faithful teachers of the Word and ministers of the gospel. Shalom!
