Prayer Pointers – 22 July 2021
“This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” – Psalms 118:23, ESV
Lord, you have done great things in our midst. By your grace and the faithfulness of our founders, EAST was established 29 years ago. EAST has equipped some 500 leaders and missionaries from 23 nations. As a multicultural community, we build on the good work of our founders to develop Christlike servant leaders holistically in the heart, head, and hands who are fulfilling the Great Commission around the world.
Marvel at the Lord’s doing
“This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” Psalms 118:23, ESV.
We affirmed the words of the psalmist as those who are redeemed by the Lord and whose life and future is built upon the cornerstone. We rejoice in God’s marvelous work, despite the rejection of the builders.
Who are those who rejected him? Religious leaders, Roman leaders, Jewish multitudes. In a modern context, he is still rejected by various human authorities. As those who follow Christ, we are to marvel and rejoice despite this, because God’s work is good, and indeed his love endures forever. Psalm 118:29, “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”
Shalom.

EAST New Logo
One of the many new things that the Lord has done at EAST-“New Logo”.
The colour green signifies growth. The cross represents Jesus Christ who is the source and goal of our faith. The flame which is also shaped like a dove represents both the Holy Spirit and the fireseeds of the gospel. The book is in reference to the Holy Bible which is for our life transformation.
