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:

Moving Ahead
Words just cannot express our joy at the successful graduation of our first nine young people at Leyte Christian College. Several of us have been moved to tears in the past few days, and we are so thankful for this wonderful opportunity to mold the hearts & minds of so many young people into the image of Christ. Thank you, supporters, for this blessing & this opportunity. As we now prepare to move ahead and begin planning for the future, there are many bright lights on the horizon. Now that we have graduated one class, that helps us on the road to accreditation. And our building being 99 percent complete, another hurdle is about to be cleared. Good things are happening here, including evangelism. Our team excels in that area! So much fruit has already been reaped from those labors. One last thing: If there are good folks who might be willing & able to help us financially, we could really use your valuable assistance. Growth is an inevitable consequence of the success we are having here, and we need more great supporters. Please consider us if you could possibly help.
