HOUSTON (ABP)—“‘There was a man sent from God whose name was John,’” Daniel Vestal told about 800 people at a Houston memorial service for Baptist philanthropist John Baugh March 8.
Quoting the biblical description of John the Baptist from the Gospel of John, Vestal said the life of John Baugh had parallels to the New Testament prophet of the same name.

McManus, an El Salvador native who went to high school and college in North Carolina, today leads Mosaic—a congregation that doesn’t call itself a church and meets in a nightclub and several other locations in Los Angeles.
