The "Latest"

A long-time dream has finally materialized: Leyte Christian College is now a reality. Classes began last Monday for about 20 young men who are our "first batch" of preacher students. You can see below a picture of most of them, taken a few days before classes began. We are also expecting a few more to drift in this week. The first instructors at LCC are bro. Dominador 'Jack' Belo (also serving as Director), Charlie Sabado, Jonathan Lapitan, Rolando Quibedo, Reuel Belo and Jun Nacario. I will be joining them hopefully in just a few more weeks. I will be teaching World History and Origins of the Bible. Thank you to so many who have helped make Leyte Christian College a reality, thru your prayers and your good giving. We are still looking for more sponsors for our preaching students at $35 per month. This amount provides much-needed necessities for the students' daily needs. Project Philippines supplies their housing, and tuition is free, but there are obviously other needs. If you could help, you would become a vital part of the support arm for Project Philippines and Leyte Christian College. Just send your tax-free donation to Central Church of Christ, PO Box 407, Hereford, TX 79045.

I also wanted to give you an update about Tina Sabado. After her fall and surgery on her ear earlier this month, she is recuperating nicely. Apparently there are no ill effects from the incident and she is expected to make a complete recovery, with no hearing loss. Thanks to so many who have helped with the medical bills for the Sabado's and also for your prayers. They have moved into a rent house and now adjusting back to life in the Philippines after nearly three years in America. Charlie of course has many duties with Leyte Christian College. Please continue to pray for them.
