PRAYER REQUESTS

  1. For speedy final approvals of the clinic building plans.
  2. For God to continue to lead people to donate to our clinic project. Donations can be given to World Mission Prayer League, specifying the Romania Clinic Fund, 232 Clifton Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403, or to Open Door Medical Ministries, C/O Clifford Olson, 9210 Science Center Drive, New Hope, MN 55428.
  3. For BEL Christian Fellowship, for healing of hurting hearts in the body and for direction for the future.
  4. For more opportunities and ability to witness effectively in this culture, where most people believe they are Christian because they are baptized, without any knowledge of what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ or to live for Him and according to His teachings.
  5. For continued good health, safety and unity. Linda has picked up cold viruses at the orphanage two of the last three visits. We were also awakened by a small earthquake one night last week.
  6. For the ICC orphanage children, that they will continue to grow in the loving environment there, and that those with developmental delays and medical problems will be healed by the Lord. Also, for adoptive parents for them.
  7. For Maria Alexe (the most beautiful toddler we've ever seen) who will soon be adopted from the ICC orphanage by an American couple. Pray that they will be good parents for her and teach her to love the Lord and serve Him.
  8. That God will raise up more missionaries to work with us in Romania. We need people with clinic organization and management skills and evangelism skills. We have received an email from a young couple who want to come and help in whatever way possible for 6 weeks in November and December. We're looking forward to them coming, and pray that the Lord will provide for their financial needs to cover their stay here.
  9. For the country of Romania: 1) that the leaders will follow the Lord and seek to do His will and that they will recommit themselves to opposing corruption and dishonesty at all levels of the government and society, 2) against the spirits of deception and corruption in this country, and 3) for a revival in the church in Romania and for a "Promise Keepers" type revival among the men in Romania.
