To Field Supervisors With Love
EAST students are blessed by Field Supervisors who help them grow and succeed in their Field Practicum at churches or Christian ministries. The annual Field Supervisors’ Tea is a time of appreciation for Field Supervisors and commissioning of students in their selected areas of field ministry. Supervisors range from pastors to ministry directors to field staff of churches or organizations. Mrs. Tan Ying Kheng, as the Field Education Director, oversees the Field Practicum course.
Pictured here is an EAST student, Esther, who gave her testimony of a changed life at the recent Field Supervisors’ Tea.
