"Fay's friends very good!"

On Dec 19, the village of Plentong in Johore Bahru, Malaysia, was devastated by the monsoons.
Forty-seven roads were closed and more than 150,000 lives were reported to be affected.

Plentong is the hometown of one of our students, Fay Yong.

"My family's coffee-shop and laundromat had waters reaching three feet high," says Fay.
"My uncle's home, along the same street, had waters as high as seven feet; almost everything was destroyed."

In response, EAST students and faculty took an offering which amounted to S$1,250.

"My family was very moved," shares Fay.
"Though they're non-believers, my parents wrote a thank-you note that ended with 'may the presence of Jesus Christ be with you all.'"

Fay believes God has used the family at EAST to help open her parents' heart to the Lord.
"They're telling people,
'Fay's friends very good.'"
