The Silent Pandemic: Loneliness in the Church
The panelists (L to R): Dr Tan Soo Inn, Pastor Lawrence Chua, Ms Ting Siew Lee
“How prevalent is the issue of loneliness in our church today? Are there lonely people there? If so, who are some of these people, and what are some of their experiences? Has there been a time you felt lonely in church? What could have been done to make you feel better? What does the Bible say about this matter? How can we as Christians embrace and include the lonely as a true community of faith and friends?”
“The Silent Pandemic: Loneliness in the Church” was the title of a face-to-face dialogue jointly organised by East Asia School of Theology (EAST) and Church Equip of Capelle Consulting on 11 August 2022 at EAST. Pastor Lawrence Chua (Senior Pastor, Living Sanctuary Brethren Church) and Dr Tan Soo Inn (Director of Graceworks, author of “Spiritual Friendship”) were invited to be part of a panel to address this issue. The dialogue was facilitated by Capelle’s Ms Ting Siew Lee, a former missionary who returned to Singapore recently after ministering for 14 years in Timor Leste.

“When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him”. Proverbs 16:7 – ESV
Are you a man pleaser or are you faithful to God, obedient to His calling and doing His will faithfully?
Seminar: Crucible – The Choices that Change Your Life Forever
Moments of decision; your life is full of them. And how you respond can have a lifelong impact. Israel’s shepherd king faced critical choices in the same areas we do, and we can learn a lot from how he handled them. God will use the choices we make to transform us into people after His own heart and shape our lives forever.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God”. Matthew 5:9 – ESV
Are you trading insults for insults when provoked or do you practise the meekness and gentleness of Christ, imitating His peaceful nature, to win others to salvation?
Praise God:
– That we have our Abba father whom we can worship and pray to in our time of distress, His love and peace comforts us and turns us into peacemakers.
Pray for:
– Ourselves that God’s divine peace helps us turn distress into prayer and fear into faith that we can anchor in Him to face whatever assails us.
– EAST community to be peacemakers, to bring good news to others and be a blessing to all wherever we go
