More than a year after 331 people (including 186 children) were killed by explosions and gunfire in a terrorist attack in Beslan, a new Calvary Chapel has opened to provide hope for those still suffering from the school attack. After serving with Calvary Chapel Jerusalem, missionary Jason Calzone visited Beslan and has partnered with Beslan pastor Jumbal in starting a church in the area. Beslan is less than 100 miles from the Chechnian border. (ASSIST News Service)
