  • An in-depth look at U.S. immigration and what churches can do in response.

  • First Baptist Church, Kouts, Ind., Rich and Ruth Ann Stoll, pastor and wife
  • County Line Baptist Church, Dayton, Ohio, Don and Coletta Hughes, pastor and wife

And to the following churches for a special gift:

  • Meadowbrook Baptist Church, Lima, Ohio, James and Kary Jamison, pastor and wife
