Happy Homes is the Home of Pastor William Lerion and his wife Vianney; it is situated just outside Tacloban City on Leyte Island in the Philippines. With a large family of 8 children they struggled to bring them up and care for them. Pastor Lerion was living by faith trusting only in the Lord to supply all the family needs. A group of Christians from Bels Yew Green Chapel in Sussex were praying and sending gifts to support the mission eventually building a wooden house for the family. Some later this home became almost derelict as flood waters had damaged the foundations and rotted the floors and walls.

Tony and Sheila Daly were sponsoring a child for some years and after much prayer Pastor Lerion invited Tony to visit the Philippines to preach the Gospel in the villages in Leyte Island. At that time 2001 there was severe flooding in Tacloban City and on return from a mission tony found the Lerion’s home under water. After prayer the Lord led Tony to give a small gift for “Higher Ground” that is to purchase some land with a view in future to build a more substantial home. The Lord blessed and “Happy Homes” was built from gifts given from UK Christians. Happy Homes is not only a family Home but is used as a church building for the many Christians converted under the Lerion’s ministry.
