Let me close with a personal note: No other family sent more students to ECC than the Murphy Family of Montpelier, VA. Six of the seven children in the family were students. Four grandchildren were students. From those came three preachers who served churches for a total of 95 years and then have served in missionary-related ministries now for a total of 40 years. That’s 135 years of ministry. Eastern Christian College provided the foundation for these three preachers and the opportunity to serve the Lord in various ways. ECC may have closed but her influence in the lives of the countless numbers of families lives on!
