        Goin’ Fishing Ministries

       Please continue to pray for the Christians in Ukraine.  Those that we know have so far been safe, though many of them lost their homes and had to relocate. Those remaining continue to hold church services where possible and spread the Word of God and help others with food and supplies as they are able.  Currently there are indications that this war may cease soon. Please pray for an ending of this terrible war.  Much of the above is still true at this time.

Donations to Goin’ Fishing should be sent to P O Box 2063 Denham Springs, LA 70726.      

    Keep in prayer the situation in Israel.  This is God’s chosen land for his Chosen People.

     We Repeat:  Hurricane Helene, and/or Hurricane Milton just 2 weeks later, have devasted and destroyed much of the Carolinas, areas in Tennessee, and Florida.

    We repeat:   SCEC Report from Terry Morrison.  This is worth repeating again, especially if you attended either Kentucky Bible College in Louisville, KY, and/or Southeastern Christian College in Winchester, KY.  

Southeastern Christian Education Corporation has answered requests from 25 students this year who are attending eight different Christian Colleges for total grants of $65,000. Each student will be receiving $2,600  per year. Over the years SCEC has given grants totaling over one millions dollars since the closing of Southeastern Christian College and the formation of SCEC as a non- profit private foundation. SCEC also supports the mission work in the Philippines through a $2,600 annual gift to Church of Christ Worldwide.  

      Website recently updated: sceconline.org.

     Southeastern Christian Education Corporation was established after Southeastern Christian College in Winchester, KY, closed, in order to use the funds from the sale of the property to the city. The funds are used for grants to eligible students to help cover the cost of a Christian college education.  Donations are welcome and accepted and should be sent to SCEC, 476 Sparrow Lane Harrodsburg, KY 40330.
