It hit hard in the northern Philippines, very far from us. At least three people have been killed so far by Super Typhoon Megi in the Philippines. We appreciate your concern; some have written to ask how we are doing but we were not in any way affected.
Super typhoons are essentially Pacific hurricanes, with winds sometimes reaching 175 miles per hour. Thankfully this one hit very far from us. We have experienced no bad weather recently. It hasn't even rained in several days, though we are in the middle of the "rainy season" here when it typically rains everyday. Also, Tacloban City is somewhat sheltered by the huge island of Samar to the east which protects us from the open Pacific. And we (the LCC campus) are even further up the shore and in the San Juanico Strait, which provides further shelter. God willing, the super typhoons will stay away from us. Again, thank you for your concern.

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:
