Mongolia Nomad – Cross-Cultural Team Internship 2014
How do you show God’s love to the Mongolian nomads? Just by being there with and serving them. And a team of EAST students did just that through their Cross-Cultural Team Internship. The first part of their trip to Mongolia was doing ministry with the nomads. Watch the video as they lived and ministered amongst the nomads.

Field Supervisors’ Tea
EAST Field Supervisors’ Tea was held recently to commission students as Field Interns under their respective Field Supervisors and ministries.
Two students from Mongolia and Myanmar shared how the Lord has led them to full-time vocational ministry and to EAST for their theological development. It was one of the largest gatherings of Field Supervisors which was a great encouragement to all present. The EAST Field Practicum department is led by Mrs. Tan Ying Kheng.
Worship at First Chapel of the Term
What beats a great worship service? A great worship service with worshippers originating from around the world who are your classmates, teachers, and fellow staff. At the first chapel of the new academic year, it was a joyful reunion to worship God together, hear updates from the summer break internships and pray together. Watch the worship video.

Summer Cross-Cultural Team Internship
Teams of EAST students who completed their Cross-cultural Team Internship during the summer school break shared about their experiences at the recent chapel. Here’s a collage from a team who served at the Indian Malayalam ministry of Christ Church. We are grateful for brother Biju Samuel, an EAST alumni who now serves with Christ Church and hosted the team.
“Their willingness and trust for us to minister to their children was so refreshing,” shared one team member. “We have never met an all-men group praying so fervently at the Malayalam service,” said another.
