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:

Blessings from Visitors
These past two weeks, God has really really blessed us with the presence of a great family from Amarillo, Texas, and our sponsor congregation, Southwest Church of Christ. Mike Borger, one of the Shepherds at Southwest, along with his wife Lynnae and son Chance, traveled here to LCC to be of assistance in our work. Mike told me, "Use us in whatever way we can help!" And what a great help they have been! They arrived here in the Philippines on May 7 and went right to work. Mike & Chance worked hard to finish the cement flooring in one of our staff houses, and our instructors there were so blessed, and so humbled. Mike & Chance also built some amazing bookshelves for our new women's studies room. They also hung curtains there, and did a number of other nice jobs too. Lynnae worked everyday with Robin to arrange all the study material in the women's studies room, and together they have really transformed it into a very nice & beautiful room for our "girls" to study in. The Borgers also purchased all supplies for these jobs themselves, as well as other needed supplies for the women's studies room. They helped many here personally, and shared to much to all of us in so many ways. We have been so wonderfully blessed by this fine family, and we thank them (all three) from the bottom of our hearts for their wonderful generosity, willingness to serve, and for the great help they have been to Leyte Christian College. We are also blessed to be counted as your friends, Mike, Lynnae and Chance! Thanks forever!!!
