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!

A Great Year

Happy 2012 to all of you! Our prayer is for a joyous & prosperous year for you all, a 2012 which will be better in all ways than 2011. We are happy to say that 2011 was a great year, as lots of exciting things happened with regard to Project Philippines and Leyte Christian College. First, our long-awaited building finally started moving up again and we believe now we are more than 95 percent complete with construction. We are also happy to report more than 40 baptisms being accomplished by members of our team and by our great students. We also had some great events in 2011 such as seminars being conducted by Brian Mashburn & Doyle Corder, ministers at Southwest Church of Christ (our sponsors) and evangelism classes by new faculty member Jun Patindol. There were also joyful moments like baptisms of students, great fellowship meals and banquets, and great examples of service such as the recent relief work done by about two dozen of our students in Cagayan de Oro, where a destruction typhoon claimed more than a thousand lives. So all in all, we are happy with the events and the work done in 2011. But we are praying for more success in 2012. That can come about only thru our Lord and thru our great supporters like you. Thank you all for sharing with us in this work. We are so blessed by YOU!
