eOpen House Reaches Out

Just two days before the eOpen House was to take place, we only had 35 registrants which included some of our own staff and students. This event had been planned months ahead, and the publicity had also started way earlier than our first eOpen House in March 2021. God nonetheless provided the guests on the actual day, with over 100 from 10 different countries who zoomed in. We are grateful for God’s faithfulness in directing different ones to EAST, even in the midst of the pandemic.

Our EAST President Rev Dr Chan Chong HIok and Dean of Academics Rev Liong Kwok Wai both gave the participants a very warm welcome, along with our lively and interactive emcees, student Daniel Yoncer and ministry staff Agnes Kao. We had three breakout rooms catering to Visiting Students, International Students and Singapore Students hosted respectively by Rev Jonathan Yao & Dr Benson Goh, Rev Jacob Li & Ms Aitee Koh, and Dr Lau Ying Kheng & Ms Wong Ee Yuing. Different students were able to share their experiences at EAST during breakout sessions to give the participants a glimpse of what some termed as a little bit of “heaven on earth” while studying at EAST.

The participants were also able to choose from a buffet of disciplines like Biblical Studies, Christian Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Theological Studies, Pastoral Counselling and a session for Students’ Wives called Partners-in-Ministry. There are also two online lounges that catered to either Student Life, Mentoring, and Academic matters, or, Admissions and Immigration queries. Our faculty were fully engaged with students who entered their Zoom Rooms and some students even indicated interest in sampling their classes online.

If you had missed the opportunity of attending the eOpen House on 19 Feb 2022, you can still visit our GO EAST Information Wall where we have videos that will guide you with the Admission process and more. If you or your friends are keen to sample a class at EAST, feel free to drop us an email at admissions@east.edu.sg. We welcome you to taste a bit of “heaven on earth” here with us!
