Prayer Points for This Week
Monday: Ryan and Cathren Hundertmark are feeling out of their element. All that was normal is no more. “Living in Senegal has completely changed my understanding of normal,” Ryan wrote.

Tuesday: “One night last week I was awoken … when I heard the pitter patter of little feet in the ceiling directly above me. … It is amazing how a small rat can sound like a 20-pound cat when it is in the ceiling.
