Back in the U.S.

Robin, Nathan and I are back in the U.S. now for awhile, as we attended our daughter Lauren's graduation from P.A. school at Texas Tech Univ. Health Science Center in Midland. Also would like to make reports to various of our supporting churches if possible. Let us know.

New School Year

Classes have begun now for the new school year, both at our primary campus in Tacloban City and at our new satellite campus in Carcar, Cebu. There are about 90 students enrolled in the Tacloban campus, with more on the way, and an additional 16 enrolled at our small campus (in a rented building) in Carcar. We are so blessed with a great crop of newbies who are eager to study the Word of God with us, as well as about 50 returning students. Thanks to our great supporters for your wonderful & generous help in this work!

New Satellite Campus for Leyte Christian College

It is with great excitement that we announce a second campus for our school. When the new school year opens, less than two months from now, we will be opening a "satellite" campus in Carcar City, on the island of Cebu. Although classes will be held initially in a rented building, we hope to move into permanent quarters within just a year or two. Faculty is already in place and we are busy now recruiting students to fill the new satellite campus. At the beginning we will only welcome first-year students but next year hopefully we'll have first & second-year. We ask for your prayers in this new endeavor. If we can replicate the success seen in Tacloban recently, this will be a fine addition to our work.

New graduates

Leyte Christian College graduated its fourth crop of new grads on Saturday, April 4.  This was our largest-ever number of graduates, a total of 23 brilliant young people who completed a tough four years here at LCC. We have now graduated a total of 59 students from the Bible degree at LCC, and many of those have gone on to do great things in the kingdom of God. See the pictures below of the newest graduates.

Late Posts

We haven't posted anything here in several months & we are so sorry for that. Lately we have been using Facebook to post activities of our team here in Tacloban, as well as monthly email reports. But perhaps some of you don't have Facebook accounts and you might be depending on these posts here to get information about our activities. We're very sorry. Going to try to do better in the future at keeping this website current!

Feeding an entire village

This coming weekend, LCC students & staff are going to feed an entire village. Approximately 400 families, which means perhaps as many as 2,000 people will be fed in the village of Tagpuro (which is where Leyte Christian College is located). We are so blessed to be able to do this, and thanks go to Comanche Trail Church of Christ for their valuable support & generosity making this all possible.

Blessings given

This past weekend, perhaps as many as 800 people in & around Tagpuro village near the LCC campus received clothing & shoes. These wonderful blessings have poured in from our supporters, were shipped in the container that arrived approximately one month ago, and have now been distributed by our great students - the "LCCians" (led by SBO President Mernie Sabanal). Thanks to so many of you for your wonderful giving. The folks who received these great blessings were very thankful, and many of them told me so.  Each person was able to get four pieces of clothing and one pair of shoes (if we had one which fit them). It was sort of like a carnival atmosphere, with so much joy & so many smiles. Thanks, great supporters!
