Mentoring Groups Continue Online
Mentoring Groups are a key component of our students’ learning journeys. There is much to glean from sharing life and ministry with fellow students, and from being discipled by an EAST faculty committed to journey with a Mentoring Group from matriculation to graduation.
Even as EAST classes are conducted online at this time for safe distancing, Mentoring Groups also gather online for regular sessions of fellowship, prayer and encouragement.
The spirit of journeying together in life and ministry continues as we adapt and leverage on online platforms to bridge our faculty and students together for regular Mentoring Group sessions.

Delight in the Law of God

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night..” ~ Psalm 1:1-2 (NIV)
The poetic and metaphoric psalms began with a direct assertion of one who is called “blessed” by virtue of his disassociation with the “wicked or ungodly, sinners or unholy, and mockers or desecrators” but one who is in close fellowship with YHWH, God Himself, at all times.
Song for SG55 – One
Enjoy this newly composed National Day song by HeartDriven Music, words and music by Ryan Kong.
Taken from the Song Story, shared by the composer, Ryan Kong:
This National Day, HeartDriven Music, Project Providence and the Alliance of Guest Workers Outreach (AGWO) are collaborating to release this song, ONE, as a rallying cry for every one of us to play our part in whatever capacity we can, as one nation. While we look forward to resuming our normal lives again, let us not forget the life lessons which Covid-19 has taught us. Let us not waste this opportunity to go the extra mile, to reach out in love beyond what is convenient for us.
Project Providence helps to house homeless and stranded foreigners in Singapore. AGWO aims to reach out to all guest workers in Singapore – to care for them and cater to their essential needs, while also adopting a spirit of hospitality for a welcoming environment that is free of discrimination and prejudice.
Loving Singapore Block by Block
On the eve of Singapore’s National Day long weekend, the Day of His Power event was held online for the first time. A number of notable church leaders in Singapore shared from their hearts about the state of the church and missions in Singapore. Pastor Lawrence Chua from Living Sanctuary Brethren Church shared the strategy of “Loving Singapore Block by Block” as his church has sought to be a good neighbour over the years.
Jason Wong from the fathering movement, Elijah 7000, also pondered about Singapore as a land of beautiful houses yet with broken homes. Truly, today more than ever, as believers, we need to be sharing the hope we have in Christ to rebuild the broken homes in our beautiful nation. Happy National Day Weekend to all Singaporeans!
