How to better receive, process, remember and pass on God’s truths?
Since 80% of people globally are oral preference learners, how do we help them better receive, process, remember and pass on (transmit) God’s truths? An answer is to shape our communication approach holistically with the disciplines of orality-framed content.
Rev. Samuel Chiang (Executive Director, International Orality Network) was recently at EAST to teach and consult on “Orality for Learners and Teachers.” He taught a session at the school’s Principles and Practice of Teaching course, during Chapel, and at an afternoon Seminar with staff, students and guests.
Rev. Chiang demonstrated expository preaching through story-telling of the blind beggar healed by Jesus (see photos below).
EAST Retreat as we Restart for the New Year
“Learning lessons on REST with an amazing Family whom I feel at home with… EAST!” reflected Winnie, a student.
At the start of New Year and new semester, EAST staff and students gathered at the City Beach Resort, Labrador Park as part of the EAST Mentoring Groups Retreat 2014. This was a time to…
• Regather – after a long school break,
• Reconnect – for fellowship and fun together,
• Refocus – aligned at the start of 2014 and the new semester,
• Reflect – to consider how God is at work in our lives, and
• Rejoice – in worship of the Lord.
Classes for this semester has just started and we look forward to great times of learning and growing together! Would you like to join us?
