To read a quick recap of some of the latest news reports from The Baptist Paper, see below.
1. Connor Johnson shares how he nearly lost his life at the age of 19 in a drug deal gone bad. “I am going to die tonight,” he told himself right before the gun fired. But it turns out that God had other plans for him.
2. Few pastors endorse political candidates outside their role at church. Even fewer endorse during a church service. Most Americans like it that way, but they’re growing more supportive of churches jumping into the political fray, according to a newly-released study.
3. Devastating flooding and landslides in Nepal recently claimed the lives of more than 200 people, while others remain missing or left to recover from the damage.
