“Had the privilege of sharing about ‘Contextualization and the Arts’ in the Contextualization class at EAST… Great questions. Great interaction,” wrote Patrick Ng, an EAST Alumni.

Reaching Students in Taichung
EAST students were in Taiwan recently as part of their Cross-cultural Team Internship. Hailing from three nations (none of which is Chinese), they ministered among Taiwanese campus students and churches in Taichung City by sharing the gospel personally, hold outreaches, spoke at churches and on campus. They learnt to live and work together in a multi-cultural team and ministered in a different culture and language than their own.

“No Needy Person Among Them”
EAST new resident faculty, Mr. Jacob Li, gave a devotion at a recent Chapel service. He profusely thanked the EAST community for the graciously warm welcome that he, Josephine, and their young family have experienced in their transition to Singapore.
From Acts 4:32-35, he exhorted EAST to continue growing as a Christlike community that sacrificially shares their heart, time and possessions so that “there is not a needy person among them.” Praise God for the evergreen reminder!
