Alumna: EAST has a very special place in my heart
Janice Tay, Alumna turned Fund Development Coordinator at EAST
Janice came to EAST through her pastor’s recommendation. The lesson that really stuck with her while at EAST is doing ministry integration through the head, the heart and the hands. Her favourite class at EAST was Bible Study Methods and Hermeneutics and Mentoring Group. “I really enjoy Bible Study Methods class. I learnt to observe, interpret and apply the Bible into my own life. I enjoyed the ladies fellowship in the Mentoring Group and sharing our lives together.”
Janice’s favourite teachers at EAST are Dr Keith Shubert, Rev Jacob Li and Mrs Josephine Goh. Dr Keith Shubert is very knowledgeable. He has a wealth of knowledge and he is a treasure trove of knowledge. Rev Jacob Li is very well-equipped and gives his 100% to his students. Mrs Josephine Goh, her mentoring group leader, is very passionate about mentoring people and has a very “on the ball” personality. like an energiser bunny.

Today’s #SaturdayGoodRead reflects on this as Jon Cho’s “Working from home: Where is God in all of this?” explores how God “has made Himself known” through his own experience with WFH. He begins with
As long as I can remember, being able to work from home feels like winning the lottery. For that reason, I thought it would be a walk in the park after the nation-wide directive was given.
The dread of heading back to office on a Monday after a nice weekend with the family was now eliminated – I’d get to be with them all the time. All. The. Time.
A dream come true, right?
As part of BCP (business continuity planning), I started working from home for a couple of weeks before the Circuit Breaker started. All I can say is that the reality of winning the lottery was nothing like what I imagined.
