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:

Muslim extremism
On Nov. 23 in the southern Philippines province of Maguindanao, 57 people, including 30 journalists, were stopped along the highway and shot and killed by Muslim terrorists. Many of the victims were women and children, shot dead by cowardly infidel followers of the false prophet Mohammed. This province has long been politically unstable as two rival Muslim factions vie for control there. But this latest incident underscores the lawlessness of the region. As a result, for the last three weeks the government has sought to increase its presence not only in that region but in the whole nation. Soldiers are frequently seen everywhere with M-16's at the ready. The Maguindanao region was even placed on martial law, something not seen since the Marcos regime of the 1980's. Alarming times. Please pray for peace in the Philippines!
