Project 40% is a Bible reading program which was aimed at promoting Bible reading to the congregation. Bible reading schedules was distributed and participants were asked to have accountablitiy partners to remind them about the program.

There was a powerpoint presentation on the necessity of Bible reading for the spiritual growth of the individual as well as for the strengthening of the church.


Why 40% The program was aiming at a more realisitc goal but the church beleives that with the power of the Holy Spirit the realization of this goal will surpass expectations.

ECBC Visits Doulos


ECBC Sunday School teachers visited the floating bookstore M/V Doulos on December 8, 2007. The teachers, mostly from the children’s department, were given a tour by the crew of the ship. After the tour they then went to the bookstore to look for Sunday school materials. The publicity for the ship’s docking at Manila Bay was, unfortunately, overshadowed by the Hotel Peninsula take over led by Senator Trillanes.
