The Skilled Helper – Workshop by 4Twelve Academy
Would you like to be a more compassionate, effective, and skilled people-helper in your life and ministry?
The call to compassion and to care for others is one most Christians endorse. And many have a strong desire or are inclined to do so by virtue of their personality and passion. You enjoy touching others’ lives and want to give back to the community.
The needs of today’s world with its manifold mental health issues and concerns have also deepened this need for us to be people-helpers. The question then is how? How can we be compassionate as well as effective helpers?
30 March 2026, Monday, 7.00 – 9.00 PM.
East Asia School of Theology, 118 Joo Chiat Road, S 427407.
Instructor: Dr Danny Goh

New Student Kristian Peace: God’s Grace is Sufficient
Peace is the fourth from the left, together with his wife Luisi (black tee) and his son Yohan.
Mr Kristian Peace Braquis is one of our new students from the Philippines this semester. He is in the Master of Arts in Leadership program. Below is his reflection of how the Lord has led him and his young family to EAST.
“So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:33, ESV)
When my friend, Mikeel (an EAST alumnus) returned to Philippines after his study at East Asia School of Theology, we invited him for lunch to hear his story. Amazed of what God has done to him and how He equipped him to be of help in his church and ministry, I also desired to study in a theological school to serve the church and to minister to those who are in need. But I did not consider going to EAST as I was aware of the cost of living in Singapore and I was just starting a family with a one and half year-old child at that time. However, God was already setting us up for one of the best seasons of our faith journey.
