Last week, we started saying, "Goodbye" to this year's graduation batch. Most will return to their home countries in Korea, Cambodia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and, of course, Singapore, for minsitry; a few are headed for the mission field in Japan, India, and the Middle East.
The commencement ceremony on 18 May was well attended. More than 500 relatives, church friends, and supporters packed the hall at Bethel Presbyterian.
Some flew in from Korea, Taiwan, the USA and Cambodia to attend the ceremony. It's great to know so many people love you.
Well, our dear graduates, congratulations.
You have done well--to have completed the course, passed the exams, and run the race faithfully.
Don't forget the lessons you've learned.
David, I was touched when you said EAST taught you to be a better servant leader, husband, and father.
Jonathan, you said you were impressed by the life of Dr. Ho and want to be a caring leader like him. May God grant you your heart's desire.
Naleng, you're such a trooper, having overcome all odds to get this far. You've always moved us by your strong spirit. Continue to be strong.
Jesyln, Wan Jee, Catheirne, and so many others. Thank you for sharing how God showed you His love and provision while at the school, and how you learned so much from the multi-cultural community at EAST.
PS: Catherine, your Singlish is even better than mine.As you go to your respecitve ministries, know that our heart and prayers are with you.
Take care, God bless, and don't forget to remember us.
