Happy Teacher’s Day 2026!

Happy Teacher’s Day 2026! We Appreciate You!
As Singapore celebrates Teachers’ Day on 4 September 2026, we at East Asia School of Theology (EAST) give thanks for the teachers who faithfully invest in the lives of our students. At EAST, teaching goes beyond imparting knowledge. It is about forming the whole person—Head, Heart and Hands—equipping men and women to think biblically, grow in Christlike character, and serve faithfully wherever God calls them. But what does a good teacher look like through the eyes of a student? Three current EAST students—Joel De Vera from the Philippines, Candy from Indochina, and Themreiso Lamlang Awungshi from Manipur, India—share how their teachers have shaped not only what they know, but also how they live, serve, lead and follow Christ.
Alumna Pang Xin Xian: Joy of Seeing God’s Fingerprints

Pang Xin Xian (Singapore), MDiv ICS On September 25, 2025, the Field Education class went for a wheel-throwing formation workshop. Here is Xin Xian’s reflection.
We felt very excited as it was the first time to the pottery for everyone. Many lessons stood out for me. The first was that wheel-throwing is a slow and repetitive process, which requires many rounds of spinning. A few times, I exerted too much or too little pressure and my clay went wobbly. Thank God that the instructor was always on hand to re-center my clay. This spoke to me of God’s work in my life, and how He is always there even though it feels like I am just going around in circles.
