EAST’s staff recently celebrated the 65th birthday of Rev. Chan Chong Hiok, the President of EAST, or CCH as he is affectionately called. Margaret, his wife, read a moving tribute which began by recognizing the greatest honour that has been bestowed upon him is that of God’s beloved child and being co-heir with Christ. We thank God for His placing you at EAST to be His agent of positive change leading to growth and fruitfulness for His glory. CCH and Margaret, may the Lord continue to bless you both with many more good years of faithful and fruitful ministry together. Shalom!
