Our Favourite Recording Spot!
We just want to thank God with a grateful heart for His provision of a nicely-furnished Lounge which has become a prime location of choice for our video shoots! We also WARMLY WELCOME new students who are beginning the journey with us to enjoy the facility for Christian fellowship too (while following safe measurement measures).
To date, our Lounge has been chosen for a good number of worship sessions, interviews and even preaching sessions recorded on camera. This room will continue to serve the EAST community well as a place of rest, fellowship and yes, good videos!
See the video below for a worship session recorded at the Lounge!
Cru’s #1426EVERYDAY Prayer Initiative
Every year, Cru Singapore joins the LoveSingapore’s 40.Day Prayer focus together with many Singapore churches. For this year, Cru’s #1426EVERYDAY prayer initiative is the platform for its participation in the 40.Day Prayer. It is happening over Zoom, 1 July – 9 August 2021, Mondays to Fridays, 9.00 – 10.00 AM. It seeks to mobilise Cru/EAST staff, friends and volunteers to come together online and pray for Singapore, Cru and EAST, and one another.
Introducing EAST’s Newest Faculty: Rev Jarred Jung
EAST’s newest Theology professor Rev Jarred Jung, his wife Shelley and three children TJ (Timothy John), Hannah and Ryn are preparing for their transition from the US to Singapore at the moment. EAST News interviewed him recently as to how God directed he and his family to EAST.
- How did you and your family first heard about EAST and decided to move from America to Singapore to teach at EAST?
The first time I heard about EAST was when I was in a seminary class in Orlando, Florida and sat beside William Lim on the first day on class! It is a small world. But actually I learned more about EAST as I worked on the theological development team with Cru in East Asia and saw the work EAST was doing to help train our staff in that part of the world.
Prayer Pointers – 8 July 2021
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name.” – Psalm 100:4, ESV
We thank God for a new cohort of students as they begin their equipping journey this July with EAST. It is heartening to meet them virtually during Aleph (orientation) and feel their joy. Some are already in Singapore while others are learning online until they can travel again. May God bless them in their learning journey with us.
