Local pastor reaches out to friends and family in the Philippines

Five months ago, Jeffrey Ilegan left his home in the Philippines to pursue ministry opportunities in the United States. He left his wife and three kids in the hopes of creating a better life not only for himself, but for those he hoped to serve. When the massive typhoon devastated the Philippines Friday, his loved ones seemed very far away. 

Ilegan is the associate pastor of Filipino Disciples Christian Church here in Los Angeles and shared his story.
