• BSU's Summer Missions Program helps MC students spread the Gospel throughout the world (theclintoncourier.net) — Beaverton residents recently hosted Mississippi Christian University student missionary Lily Panquin, who spent over two months serving with local nonprofit Dusty's Heart through kids' clubs, food pantries, and community events. Her experience in Beaverton, alongside other students' trips from Washington to Peru, highlights how outside mission teams are partnering with local churches and neighborhoods to provide practical support and spiritual encouragement.
   

• Local farmers impacted by rising diesel prices (kptv.com) — Rising diesel prices are squeezing Hoffman Farms in Beaverton, driving up the cost of running tractors and trucks and potentially raising prices for shoppers. The farm's manager explains how fuel costs ripple through fertilizer deliveries, crop choices, and distribution, meaning higher expenses at every step before food and grass seed products reach local consumers.
