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!

Small Beginnings Christian School

Our little Preschool - Small Beginnings - is going really well at this time. Thanks to our three outstanding teachers (Chedes Onez, Giselle Belo and Jessica Bacante) the Preschool has gotten quite a good reputation in the community. Many parents are wanting their children to study here with us, and we had to turn many applicants away recently because of lack of space, lack of teachers, etc. To that end, we have made a move which will enable Small Beginnings Christian School to take advantage of this growing reputation to the glory of God. We have now completely separated Small Beginnings from Leyte Christian College, and I have appointed a board of trustees (all fine, trustworthy men, preachers & teachers) to take oversight of the school. I will devote most of my time to LCC and we will turn over operational oversight of Small Beginnings to this new board. Charlie Sabado was elected as chairman of the new board. What this means is that we can begin charging tuition and look to expand the school. Thus, it could be a permanent addition to the kingdom of God in this place, teaching generations of little ones about the true Way, and not be dependent upon Project Philippines. Please pray that this could be realized very soon.
