Who Are We ?

Project Philippines is a team of approximately 15 workers, both Filipino and American, men and women. It is a 3-fold project designed to reach the lost and bring glory to God in the Republic of the Philippines, a nation of nearly 90 million people in the continent of Asia. The Philippines is an island nation of about 7,100 islands (only about a hundred inhabited).

The first phase of Project Philippines is Leyte Christian College.

LCC was born in the summer of 2007, in a meeting of our team at Tacloban City, Leyte. This great "gateway" city in the Philippines, sitting astride the great San Juanico Bridge which connects Leyte island with Samar island, is a vast, growing commercial city in the heart of the Philippines. It is the capital of the province of Leyte. You may remember Leyte from the events of the Second World War. Here, General Douglas MacArthur fulfilled his pledge ("I shall return") to the Filipinos on Oct. 20, 1944, with the Allied invasion of the Philippines culminating in the rout of the Japanese Army. Our work will be centered in this great city.

We have secured a nice property there on which we might build all phases of Project Philippines:

(1) Leyte Christian College, a preacher training school
(2) a pre-school, elementary school and high school
(3) a children's home for homeless or orphaned children.

We're looking for sponsors and supporters who might share our vision for the Lord's kingdom in the Philippines and lend a hand. We know it's a bold and ambitious plan. It will require lots of hard work. It also will require brothers & sisters in Christ standing behind it, in prayer but also in financial assistance. If that's you, contact us at eastepfamily@yahoo.com. Or write our sponsor congregation at this address:

Thank you for your interest!

Eleven baptisms

Dear friends, brethren & great supporters of Project Philippines,
Last week I told you about the passing of our former preaching student, Ken Gade. It was a sad event, and the LCC family misses Ken, but our God is so great and mighty. He is able to make good things happen from any circumstance, no matter how tragic (see Rom. 8:28).
We have just learned from bro. Edwin Inso, the local preacher in Borongan, Samar island (Ken's home) that because of Ken's passing, eleven (11) young people all obeyed the gospel and were baptized into Christ during this past week. The hearts of these eleven young people were touched by Ken's commitment to Christ, and wanted the eternal security he had. We were quite pleased to hear this good news and wanted to pass it along to you as well.
Surely our God moves in mysterious yet majestic ways, able to save to the uttermost. "How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!" (Rom. 11:33).
Thank you so much for your support of Project Philippines. We are training young men like Ken to be carriers of the message of Christ in the Philippines. Your donations assist this Great Cause of Christ to seek and save the lost (see Luke 19:10).
