IT'S TIME FOR CELEBRATION







It was a small cohort - just nine persons graduating - but it was a big happy celebration.
Held at Bethesda Bedok Tampines Church, the 15th commencement was a grand affair.
Lisa Sim-Lim was recognized for her godliness, service to the community, and academic excellence when she received the PRESIDENT'S LEADERSHIP award.
Hangyu, our sport captain, received the GREAT COMMISSION award for his heart and enthusiasm for mission.
Others who were commended for their faithful service were Sang Hyuk, James Chua, and Barnabas Won.
Barnabas' mother, by the way, flew in from Korea especially for the event, and to give her son new shoes and pants for the occasion.
Thank you everyone for praying for our graduates.
And for your support and encouragement to EAST.




About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
