Student’s Testimony: Field Supervisors’ Tea 2025
Field Education is an important aspect of theological education at EAST. Students practice what they have learnt in class through actual field ministry under the supervision of Field Supervisors from churches, mission agencies, and like-minded organisations. An annual Field Supervisors’ Tea was held recently at EAST to thank them and recount the impact of students’ field ministry. Below is a student’s testimony of his field ministry. Here is Fred’s story:
St. Andrew’s Cathedral is a very beautiful church in Singapore, located right beside City Hall MRT station. I have brought several friends there when they came to visit Singapore. They all liked this place very much and enjoyed taking photos there. During those visits, I also noticed many tourists taking photos. But after taking pictures, they just left. No one gave them any gospel tracts, and no one shared the gospel with them. When I saw that, my heart felt very burdened. I remembered the Bible says, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” I also thought of the saying, “If someone comes to a treasure mountain, how can they leave empty-handed?” They already came to the church, yet they did not hear the gospel. What a pity that is!
The Joy of Giving and Receiving
L: Ying Swant, R: Karin Clack
Discover the joy of giving and receiving through the stories told by a donor and a recipient of her generosity. Karin (an American donor and mentor) and Ying Swant (a Myanmar mentee and EAST program student) have a beautiful relationship which started before Ying Swant joined EAST. However, through her time at EAST, Ying Swant has blossomed and been transformed, and Karin can testify of how she has grown and developed as a labourer of Christ. As a donor, Karin sees much value in investing financially into Ying Swant’s life while she is being equipped at EAST. Ying Swant is deeply grateful for all the ministry partners who have supported her studies at EAST including Karin.
Karin’s Journey of Giving
EAST News posed some questions to Karin (in italics) and here are her responses.
How were you prompted to support her?
Karin: I’ve known Ying Swant since 2021. She has shared with me her dream of opening a school in her native town in Myanmar. Spending time with her, it has been evident her love for the Lord and her desire to see others come to know Him. She has overcome so many obstacles, I was determined if she was accepted at EAST, that I would support her.
