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:

New Staff at LCC
Let me introduce you to our newest staff members at LCC. First, there is Jessica Bacante. She is an adopted daughter of sorts for us, as we first met Jessica nearly 15 years ago when she was our student before and even lived with us for more than a year. Jessica is my new administrative assistant at LCC and handles all the purchasing. She is so trustworthy. She graduated from LCC last April, which is her third Bachelor's degree. We are so blessed to have her. Next is Ricky Patindol. Ricky has also shown his trustworthiness, and we have known him for many years as well, since the late 90's. Ricky handles the physical plant matters for LCC. He graduated from LCC last April as well. We also now have another LCC grad working with us: Gift Apolinaria as maintenance man and handy man. Gift is so amazing; he can fix anything! What a blessing! We also have two new Bible instructors at LCC: Richard Sajonia, another of our former graduates, and Kristopher Genobiagon, a recent graduate of Cebu Bible College in the Philippines. Both of these young men are so incredibly gifted when it comes to teaching & preaching the Word, and we are so blessed that they are now instructing our kids! We also have a new security guard, Jhobert Sabang, who teams with Magdalino Gade to help protect our campus and students. These are our new staff members at LCC. See the picture below of these five....
