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!

New home

We are so thankful to our great supporters. During Typhoon Yolanda, we lost most of our personal possessions, including treasured pictures and keepsakes. While those can never be replaced, your generosity has allowed us to replace needed appliances such as stove/oven, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.  Thank you very much for this great help. We have found a new place to live since our old rental house has not yet been repaired.  It is nice enough and comfortable, and will serve as our new home until the other house can be repaired. Your generosity has enabled us to be comfortable there, and we thank you very much. In particular, we want to thank Doyle Corder from the great Southwest church in Amarillo (our sponsor church) for his great help. We now have a new air conditioner, thanks to Doyle's great help. What a blessing! Our supporters are wonderful, and we are so blessed. Thanks to all!
