Recently, EAST News got in touch with Daniel Ko (MA in Biblical Studies, 2011). He is currently serving regionally with eight Southeast Asian countries and the International Graduate School of Theology (IGSL), Philippines, an EAST’s sister seminary. He wrote his update in Korean and it has been translated into English below.
“Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.” – Nehemiah 2:17b, ESV.
Nehemiah rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem and in the process reenergized a faith community united by the same purpose in their work and worship as a testimony to the watching world. Let us continue to build a strong EAST community united in its learning journey to have a gospel impact on those within and without. May we leverage on digitalisation and the internet to equip and multiply servant leaders for global impact.
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” – Colossians 1:15-16, ESV
For everything, absolutely everything finds purpose in Him who is the beginning and the end.
Our refreshed brand was softly launched in early January of this year. A timely revamp of our visual identity as we transitioned to our new home at EAST Mission Hub and as we expand to where God is calling us.

Watch out for more videos expanding on the various elements of the refreshed EAST branding in subsequent posts. We asked: What are the elements of the EAST logo and how does it connect with our mission? Why is there a need for refreshed branding at this time?
A series of care and counselling webinars in 2021/2022 are being offered by APICC, the counselling and community service arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute (API).
