RICHMOND, Va. (BP)—In 2003, one Southern Baptist couple was burdened by Satan’s grip on the world. The wife had longed for stability and comfort for her family but surrendered those longings to God two years ago. Now, the family is headed to Central Asia.

PHOENIX, Ariz. (BP)—Conjure up Phoenix in the summertime and you think about desert, cactus and heat, especially with this summer’s record 29 straight days of 110-degree or higher temperatures.
HIGHLAND, Calif. (BP)— When she stepped off the plane, it was hard for 17-year-old Kaila Justice to believe she was really on the West Coast.
