A YEAR OF A TIME FOR REJOICING Southeastern College was founded in 1935 as South-Eastern Bible Institute. It was originally located in New Brockton, Alabama until 1940 when it was consolidat- ed with Beulah Heights Bible In- stitute in Atlanta, Georgia. The fi- nal move to its present location was not made until 1952. What began in 1935 as a burden for a Bible training school has grown into America’s third largest Assemblies of God college. The vi- sion to make Southeastern a Christ-centered school with aca- demic excellence has not died, but continues to burn in our present administration and student body. While looking at the past fifty years in perspective, we must real- ize that Southeastern College is the product of much prayer and sacrifice. Let us strive to continue in the vision. We truly have a cause for rejoicing when we realize that God has blessed Southeastern’s past and will continue in His faith- fulness for our future.

A YEAR OF REJOICE IN THE LORD As Southeastern’s Fiftieth An- niversary approaches we can re- joice in the school, but let us also rejoice in the Lord daily. The joy of the Lord is our strength. When we think about what we've come through to where we are right now in the Lord, each of us will find that we have much to be thankful for. Thank Him for His presence when He seems far away. Thank Him for His guidance that leads us to righteousness. Thank Him for His unfailing love when no one else cares, and His wonderful deeds when we need a special touch. Thank Him for His provisions, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry. Thank Him for the victory in the midst of the battle. Thank Him for His sal- vation so rich and free. The list of things to be thankful about is end- less but I Thessalonians 5:16-18 sums it up well. “Be joyful always, rie ¥ yee | pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
