Through all these years, God has geared ECPM to different heights. There were things we have to learn along the way and we saw areas for development and change. But what is amazing is how the Lord continued to give us opportunities of being key players in the kingdom building.
Our New Name: More from God!
ECPM has a new name… though trials and obstacles come along the way, we saw the Lord entrusting more areas of ministries for us. ECPM started focusing in Church Planting ministry through partnership with the local churches in the Philippines. But some years later, we saw the need for training not just in church planting but evangelism in the church (E-Train), Community Development (integrated curriculum for church training modules), Youth’s part as Mission Movers (YMC) and in the campus or university as well (Campus Ministry). All of which are now being done with the main thrust of PARTNERSHIP still in the center. Though church planting is still the main ministry of ECPM, we saw the need to do more. This led the ECPM team to improve our name… and for us, it is not just another technical thing of changing the name but a very meaningful step of committing more for God’s glory. It didn’t happen overnight but it was days, and years of realizations and passion of stepping up and taking more of our crosses just to follow Christ.
Our New Logo: Moving up!
Our new logo signifies ECPM’s core value of Partnership and dependence on God in everything. Partnership with other churches, and of course with the Lord, that we may preach together the glory of His name. The different colors of the weaves represent the varied ministries ECPM is and will be acting upon. The upward direction of the weaves shows the building movement. Still focusing on church planting, the logo represents the idea of the development and growth of churches.

HEALTH EDUCATION IN LINAO!
This coming Sept.3, Espinola Family from Sumapa Christian Church will be going to Linao Church Planting Site to help the team in the community. This family of nurses will be teaching the community practical steps in hygiene and sanitation and other health precautions adaptable to their culture, availability of resources and others.
Please pray for Espinola family, the community in Linao, ECPM and our partners in Palawan for this feat. May we all help the community in one way or another.
CAMPUS UPDATES!
Please pray for the campus ministry teams in Palawan and Tarlac. They are both handling fellowships with their possible Core Group Leaders (CGLs) and building relationships with possible contacts in the campus. Soon, they will be starting their planning for their evangelistic gathering.
