Updates from an Alumnus who served in Central Asia
EAST News caught up with our alumnus Jonathan and his wife Michelle (not their real names) who have been serving in an adopted country within Central Asia for over 5 years. Jonathan had graduated with Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry. Last year, he and his wife returned to Singapore due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Below is an interview with them in regards to how Covid-19 has changed their lives.
- How has Covid affected your work in missions?
Our cell phones beeped! A message from the Singapore Embassy came into our WhatsApp chat group for Singaporeans in the creative access country where we served. What caught our eyes was this sentence, “I would strongly urge all Singapore Residents on non-essential business to seriously consider returning home expeditiously.” Something does not feel right and our antennas went up! That was back in March 2020.
