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!

Good things happening.

God is so good! In spite of the terrible typhoon Yolanda, the death & destruction it has brought, and the continued suffering of so many in Tacloban, good things are happening. People are coming to the Lord. All over Leyte, new churches are being born. Hundreds of baptisms by so many brethren who are working hard in preaching the Good News. And Leyte Christian College is moving too. Plans are now in the works to rebuild our campus, seven new students have applied even though the new school year is five months away, LCC has a large new passenger jeepney, a large new generator, grass cutters, new staff, etc., etc. Things are moving ahead nicely.  Yes, Tacloban is still a mess, but it is being rebuilt as is Leyte Christian College. A lot of food has been given away, as well as help for those whose homes have been destroyed.  Six families are now beginning the process of rebuilding, thanks to you, our great supporters. We are so blessed, and good things are happening here. Thanks very much for your prayers, words of encouragement, your life-giving financial support, and for being such great supporters.
