EAST Day of Prayer
EAST organized a school-wide day of prayer on 13 April 2022. Prayer is an integral part of EAST community and such corporate prayer time is organized twice a year. The day of prayer in April is conducted within the EAST community while a similar event in October is done in conjunction with Cru Singapore as part of the Cru worldwide day of prayer.
After a time of chapel worship led by the students, the April day of prayer continued with an exhortation by Dr Lau Ying Kheng on Matthew 6. She challenged us to allow our hearts to melt before God while engaged in prayer walking and watching around the EAST neighbourhood resulting in a transformed heart.
“Pray to be seen by God
Our reward is to be seen and heard and answered
Pray to be heard by God not by men
Prayer language of the heart
Pray with the heart, say what you mean, mean what you say
Pray to be transformed not to be informed
When we pray, our heart melts.”
Prayer pointer 21 April 2022
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope”. Romans 15:13 -ESV
Two thousand years ago, the stone was rolled away by His resurrection power. He is alive, Jesus is alive! Today are you still using your own strength to face all your challenges?
Praise God:
– That we can come to Jesus, believe that He came to die for us, accept Him as Lord and saviour, receive eternal life and experience his peace and joy daily.
Pray for
– Holy Spirit’s empowerment for graduating students to finish well in their final semester.
– God’s removal of all obstacles for the new applicants to start their studies at EAST.

Why is Jesus’ Resurrection Such a Big Deal?
Design: Blessed Ong
Jesus Christ is alive on that first Resurrection Sunday and for all time hence!
His being raised on the third day is truly a miracle. The resurrection of Jesus after his death and burial is also foundational to the Christian faith. Why is that so? There are at least five reasons why the resurrection is essential to all who believe in Christ as their Saviour and God (also see References below for more related information). These are primarily based on the Bible passage of 1 Corinthians 15:12-19.
Holy Saturday Reflection: Why Is There Suffering?

A reflection theme for Holy Saturday–the day “in-between” the eventful days of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday: If God is indeed real, why is there death and suffering on Earth still? Consider pondering over Mr Max Jeganathan’s message as he spoke at a Good Friday Service on this universal issue of suffering. Whether one is a follower of Christ or otherwise, his message is deeply relevant to us all.
Blessed Good Friday!
Blessed Good Friday!
Good Friday is good because Jesus Christ died so that all who trust and believe in Him will have eternal life, and we no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died and was raised. Put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today – find out more here or here.
For all who already trust Jesus, may this Good Friday be a day to reflect on our Saviour’s indescribable love for us that led him Via Dolorosa to Calvary, where He died that death we should have died. May we then live the life He wants and wills us to live, with faith, hope and joy abiding in Him. Because He lives, we can face tomorrow.
Blessed Good Friday to all, from all of us at EAST!
