Christian Chronicle associate editor Audrey Jackson reports on how Christians–a tiny minority in Turkey–are doing all they can to help. Faulkner University's new president, Mitch Henry, talks about the challenges before Christian colleges and universities and how he thinks these times are a golden opportunity evangelism and growing the church.
