EAST “Giving Week”
We are in the middle of the Singapore #GivingWeek. While EAST is not listed in the associated giving.sg site, we welcome any gifts toward our mission of “Developing Christlike leaders for the Great Commission” in East Asia and beyond. As this is our 25th Anniversary year, be sure to ask for a copy of Running With Unwavering Passion, a compendium written by our own faculty.
For information on our needs and how to give, do visit our giving webpage. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
Throwback Tuesday – New Testament Narratives Class 2017
The class looked at the four Gospels and asked the question: “There’s only one life of Jesus Christ, so why are there four Gospel accounts?” The synoptic Gospels give us a composite portrait of the character, life, and teachings of our Lord and Saviour. Continuing with the book of Acts, the class reviewed the ministry and work of the Holy Spirit in the building up of the Church.
Teachers Ms Amy Lau and Mr Victor Kwok led the students on the path of discovery of why the Gospels are indeed Good News for all generations and the Acts of the Apostles reveal the outpouring and empowerment of the Holy Spirit to the Church for all time.

Together with 40 other Singapore charities, Cru Asia Ltd (of which East Asia School of Theology is a legal division) received the 2017 Charity Transparency Award. It is an honour to be recognized as an organization committed to financial integrity, confidentiality, and accountability. All glory goes to God–to Him from whom all blessings flow, to Him who provides all our needs, to Him who helps us steward well. Soli Deo Gloria!
EAST Myanmar Students in “Kingdom Musical Drama”
EAST students were part of the organizers and participants of a musical drama held in Myanmar on 27-28 October 2017. The so-called “Unshakable Kingdom Musical Drama” is an outreach event for Christians and non-believers alike. It reflects the last day of Christ from the private time spent with His disciples to the death and resurrection and finally His ascension to heaven.
Performed over two nights, each night saw over a thousand who came for the performance. Praise God for the opportunity to share the momentous moments of Christ’s life that continues to impact the present and into all eternity.

Throwback Tuesday: New Testament 1 Class, 2012
The photo shows the New Testament 1 class conducted in 2012 and taught by Dr Rob MacEwen, then a resident faculty of EAST. The teacher has since returned to his home country, most of the students have graduated and are in ministry or the marketplace; some are married and have kids, others have taken or are taking advance degrees to be teachers, another has gone home to be with the Lord. All have journeyed through EAST together and have learned, grown, and served together as friends and fellow ministers. Such is the journey of life… and of learning in community!
Watch the “Journey Through EAST” video to know more of the learning journey as seen through the eyes of one who studied at EAST.
