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!

Possible New Faces at LCC

We have been blessed with some great house guests for four days.  Jesse & Amanda Mook and their five children (yes, that's right - five children!) are new American missionaries in the Philippines, and are considering joining our work and teaching at Leyte Christian College.  They are graduates of Harding University, Amanda with a Master's degree in Counseling & Family Therapy (which could really help our drive toward accreditation).  They have been in the Philippines now for about six months or so, and are looking for a new place to land.  The environment they are working in is just too difficult right now.  The Mooks came here to Tacloban, looked over our school and the area, and are very convinced they want to join us.  Please pray that their sponsors agree and that this move can be made.  This will be a tremendous benefit to LCC - new teachers with their own support.
