L-R: Roy, Gloria (daughter), Eunice (daughter-in-law), Bee Lay (wife), Ryan (son)
EAST News welcomes Roy Tan (EdD Studies in Child & Family Development) as our newest Resident Faculty Member, although Roy is neither new to EAST nor Christian Ministry. He has joined EAST since September 2019 and served in Navigators for 22 years as staff, was a pastor in a local church (Neighbourhood Church) for 8 years, and even worked as a Clerk of Works in the army all prior to joining EAST. Since joining EAST, he has co-taught the Shepherd Care class with Dr Casey Lok for three cycles and given personal counselling sessions to dozens of students as part of the course assignment to enable students to work through life issues and understand their own temperaments and giftings better.

Prayer Pointers – 28 October 2021
“ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20, ESV
We are commanded to go, to reach out to all nations with the gospel in God’s name. With the Holy Spirit’s empowerment, we are to teach and lead fearlessly in all corners of the earth till God summon us home.
PRAYER POINTERS – 28 October 2021
Praise God that some EAST students have gone through a season of CCTI (Cross Cultural Team Internship) via digital missions to India, Cambodia, Philippines and Singapore. Physically we may be locked down, but the Gospel prevails in crossing borders to bless and to impact.
Pray for:
– Those reached by the digital missions to continue to grow in what they have learned and have faith in trusting God to bring them through this difficult time.
– God’s empowerment for East students to continue in their respective ministries while they are being equipped at EAST.
