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!

Our VBS

I am so proud of our gang of students staying on campus this summer!  They have just concluded a very successful week of Vacation Bible School for the kids living in the villages around the LCC campus.  What a great week it was!  Most days had more than 70 children in attendance for this VBS.  The leaders were former students (our first graduates) Renely Gozon and Jessica Bacante, along with recent graduate Maricris Patindol, and some current students like Joy Mangisel, Jacob Genobiagon, Eduard Duque, Elda Gocela, Joy Solivas, Reyman Legaspina, Antonio Puyos Jr., and others.  Children from the villages of Tagpuro, Baghapi, Cayawan, and Sta Elena were present.  My main job was driver and picture taker, and I am posting some pictures of these great kids here on this blog.  God's Word was faithfully delivered to these little ones during this great week, and I am so thankful to these wonderful young people for tackling this big job of hosting such a large and successful VBS.  Thanks to our great supporters as well for making this all possible!
