The call came in: A massive building had collapsed with many trapped inside. The first responders arrived on the scene and could hear the cries for help. It was going to be a long day.

They would need to remove all the layers of debris safely and carefully.
50 years ago, when Ethnos Canada needed a space for hosting mission conferences, local believers went to the bush, cut down trees, and brought the trunks to our campus.

Pray for the Kurvitses as they have a language evaluation this month.
Pray for these endeavours and the progress of the leadership training.
