“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!
The collage also shows Jacob’s Mentoring Group (MG) and prayer for Dr. Keith Shubert, co-MG leader, on his birthday.

Hearts Strangely Warmed in Mongolia
How to serve with team members who are ‘strange’? Go to a ‘strange’ place and minister together! View such a commentary through the lens of Cross-Cultural Team Internship in Mongolia.
A multicultural team of EAST students run the gamut of ministry from rural nomadic tribes to the high octane Young Life camp in urban Ulaanbaatar. Coming from Korea, Philippines, USA, and Vietnam team members learnt to love each other and Mongolia. Strange, but true. With love, from Mongolia.

70th Birthday of Keith Shubert
EAST recently celebrated the 70th birthday of Dr. Keith Shubert, the Dean of Academics/Principal.
Affectionately called rabbi, father, or even Saint Nick, the staff, students, and returning alumni celebrated the life and ministry of the quintessential Bible teacher. Keith, may you and Jeannette continue to experience God’s bountiful provision as faithful teachers of the Word and ministers of the gospel. Shalom!
Spiritual Journeys in Tokyo and Hiroshima
Do you know most Japanese churches have less than 30 worshippers every Sunday? A five-member team of EAST students originally from four nations ministered in churches and on college campuses to Christians and non-believers as part of their Cross-cultural Team Internship.
Challenging a Tokyo congregation in missions, conducting Bible study for young mothers in Hiroshima, leading worship and preaching in churches, giving gospel talks to college students, and distributing gospel magazines in busy Akihabara were some of their experiences.
