Every Community for Christ (ECC) is the church multiplication catalyst for One Mission Society, serving through biblically-based teams in more than 50 countries. These teams work within the context of partnership with denominations or church associations to start church planting movements to grow healthy churches that will multiply.

In the Philippines, ECC partners with local churches, denominations, organizations, church, and ministerial associations. Train and Multiply is the method being used in leadership training and church multiplication.

ECC used to work with only one denomination, the Faith Evangelical Church of the Philippines (FECPI). They used to plant churches for FECPI since the 1980s.

In the early 2000s, ECC explored church planting movements and had a vision of planting churches throughout the Philippines, but this vision was too broad for only FECPI. When ECC started to see the needs of other churches in the provinces that are lacking in resources, ECC proposed to share its resources with these other churches and FECPI, allowing ECC to train and foster those churches.

In 2013, Every Community for Christ (ECC) began the systematic training of its ECC paid workers in Train and Multiply (T&M) Launch and Develop, basic coaching, and interactive adult learning design and facilitation skills. Today, they have grown to the fourth generation of T&M trainers. ECC already has a ministry presence in four of the five geographical areas: Tarlac, Pangasinan, Leyte, and West Samar.

After Typhoon Yolanda hit the Tacloban area in November, 2013, ECC sent a team to Tacloban to help with the recovery. In less than 3 years, they have planted 11 new worshipping groups, have 14 trained lay leaders, and developed 5 T&M trainers.

ECC has a strong, healthy student ministry on the campus of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University developing group leaders to the 3rd and 4th generation, while starting other student ministries on campuses in the targeted area. ECC is also training and coaching ministry leaders in Israel and Malaysia. ECC in the Philippines is well equipped to launch a saturation project in the five targeted provinces and in the streams of student ministry and overseas foreign workers.

ECC was officially registered as a legal entity under securities and exchange commission in October 2018.
Since 2017, ECC has continued to broaden its network by partnering with different churches and organizations to create The Juan Project (TJP).

The goal of The Juan Project is to saturate the Philippines so that every man, woman, and child will have the opportunity to hear, understand, and respond to the Gospel through the witness of a local church.

ECC expands its work in the five provinces of TJP: Community Saturation through church multiplication processes in the form of training courses using Train and Multiply (T&M) and Interactive Adult Learning (IAL). The work in each province is managed using regional church multiplication facilitators (CMFs) who are assisted by bi-vocational associate church multiplication facilitators (ACMFs) and volunteer trainers.

TJP was birthed through prayer and the movement will continue through prayer. Let Malaluan spearheaded the project, alongside Mar Ocampo, all three of whom are still a part of the National Team to this day.

TJP’s sustainability also relies on numerous teams that build connections with each other and continually hold each other accountable. These teams include, but are not limited to: Church Multiplication Facilitators (CMFs), Associate CMFs, Prayer Coordinators, Pastors, and many more. It was also part of TJP’s goal to build connections with partner organizations from different churches that are interested in TJP’s vision.

In 2020, TJP has helped ECC grow from having four partners to having 70 organization partners, making ECC’s influence expand to over 12 provinces from its starting five.

In the three years that TJP has mobilized churches in the five provinces, 15,362 people have responded to follow Jesus, 904 worshiping groups were started, and 1,821 leaders were equipped and mobilized to lead and start worshiping groups.
