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. Missile attacks continue to cause widespread damage to the electrical grid as well as damaging buildings and killing citizens. For many, no electricity means no heat. This is a very serious problem as the cold weather months have arrived. Please pray for an ending of this terrible war.
From Bro. Mike Abbott: (Sent on 9/25/2024.) Please pray for Kostya Tsepin. Bro. Kostya and his wife, Oksana, minister in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. He is having emergency surgery for a gastric perforation this morning. I do not have all the details yet as to what caused the perforation, but I do not think it is war related. However, any medical issue is made more difficult due to the war. Bro. Kostya has been very helpful to GFM on past mission trips. Oksana tells me that a second surgery will be necessary after he heals from this surgery. I will know more about his condition soon.
Thanks, Bro. Mike Abbott
Donations to Goin’ Fishing should be sent to P O Box 2063 Denham Springs, LA 70726.

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.
Pertinent Info: The annual corporation meeting was held at Cherry St. Church of Christ on the Saturday morning following Fellowship week. It is only $5.00 to become a corporation member and if you are an SCC grad or not, you may support SCEC financially. As you can see above 25 students generates $65,000 this year and if you attended SCC (or if a corporate member) and have a Christian College bound student, that child can fill out a form and be considered for a grant. Website: 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. A donation to SCEC would be welcomed and certainly be put to good use. Make check out to SCEC.
Southeast Christian College Reunion was held on October 5th in the Gym area on campus in Winchester. Those who attended (maybe 70 to 75?) very much enjoyed seeing classmates from many years ago and getting up to date with many. There were speakers and some special singing. It appears it was a very successful event. If you are on Facebook, the SCC page has info and photos. One attendee had this comment: It was a wonderful reunion. I appreciate everyone who worked to organize this event. It was great having it in the gym. It was great seeing everyone.
