EAST MG Retreat 2016
At the EAST Mentoring Group Retreat 2016, speaker Dr. Robert Solomon shared how one can be “apprenticed to Jesus.”

In Solomon’s three messages on Matt. 11:25-30, he spoke on “Come to Me,” the central paradigm to the Christian life is not “doing” or “being,” but “being with.” “Take My Yoke” differentiates between holy restlessness vs. neurotic, nervous restlessness. “Learn from Me” is becoming like Jesus as we deeply imbibe His Word and imitate His Walk.
“The pew cannot rise above the pulpit,” declared Emeritus Bishop Solomon. The minister must spend adequate time in the open bible.
Besides the plenary messages, the staff and students were able to spend rich time with the Lord personally, in worship as a community, enjoying the fellowship and food, and having fun together as a school. Praise God for a great “soulful” start to a new semester!

Worldwide Day of Prayer 2015
EAST joins Cru Singapore and XChange for the twice yearly Worldwide Day of Prayer in October 2015. The global theme of “Mold, Multiply, Mobilize” reflects the call of Pray 2020 initiative launched in 20 June 2015. The theme verse is John 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

At the personal level, developing the 3G lifestyle of prayer is the goal: God-Attentive, God-Dependent, and God-Responsive. From a busy, barren, and a burnt-out heart, the refreshing vision is a movement toward a restored, renewed, and re-established heart in Him.
Hook, Book, Look, Took!
In teaching others, would you like to learn how to assess the audience, develop a lesson plan, and facilitate in order that participants are actively engaged in the learning process? The Teaching and Learning 1 course, being taught by Dr. Jeannette Shubert and Mr. Jacob Li, seeks to equip students with the ability to teach effectively in the context of background and needs of the audience.

To Field Supervisors With Love
EAST students are blessed by Field Supervisors who help them grow and succeed in their Field Practicum at churches or Christian ministries. The annual Field Supervisors’ Tea is a time of appreciation for Field Supervisors and commissioning of students in their selected areas of field ministry. Supervisors range from pastors to ministry directors to field staff of churches or organizations. Mrs. Tan Ying Kheng, as the Field Education Director, oversees the Field Practicum course.
Pictured here is an EAST student, Esther, who gave her testimony of a changed life at the recent Field Supervisors’ Tea.
