After almost two months of break, school will reopen next week.

Just met the new students after their orientation.
Some looked excited and ready to go, others seemed a little 'blur' after all the "information overload".
Chatted with Jean and Shirley who were part of a team that went to a M country for mission trip.
They looked fresh and excited as they talked about God's provision and blessings on that trip.

Personally I'm excited to start teaching next week.
As I just read in someone's newsletters, we are coaches of people who could run faster, better, and stronger than we.
But they need training.
They need people to give them confidence.
They need all the help we could give them as teachers, guides, and mentors.

If you're a new student of EAST and reading this, WELCOME.
We're right there behind you.


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.
