ANSWERED PRAYERS

1. Praise that we again received enough donations and income to cover our employee's salaries for March and to pay our other clinic expenses!
2. Praise that many of the staff issues have improved.

1. That the Lord will protect our soldiers and the innocent civilians during this war in Iraq and that the war will be concluded soon!
2. For the Lord to bless our clinic with more patients, both Romanian and foreigners. The last two weeks have been slow again.
3. For the Lord to provide new residents for us to teach, who are motivated to work hard in learning and in caring for patients--not just in treating diseases.
4. For wisdom in hiring the right receptionist/nurse.
5. For Flori, that we will be able to help his family find a good, caring surgeon and that Flori will not have any more seizures or any other setbacks prior to his proposed surgery.
6. For more donations for our clinic project--enough to cover our employees' salaries and the utilities. Our expenses are running about $5,000/month. We would like to partially finish the basement before the end of the summer--this will cost about $15,000. The CBC lab machine and an X-ray machine are still long term goals. Donations toward the clinic are best given to Open Door Medical Ministries, C/O Clifford Olson, 9210 Science Center Drive, New Hope, MN 55428. Donations to our Work Fund, Support Fund, Travel Fund and Personal Gift Fund should go to World Mission Prayer League, 232 Clifton Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403, specifying to which fund you wish to give.
7. For the new church plant that is meeting at our clinic, to be a blessing to the people in our neighborhood.
8. For doctors to volunteer to come to cover for us here in Bucharest during our next trip back to the U.S. (August 4-September 4, 2003).
9. For continued safety and unity and for improved health for us and for all of the people who are working at the clinic. Please pray for wisdom for us as managers so that we can bring out the best in our employees. Pray for an increase in love by all involved and pray against the spirits of dissatisfaction and envy.
10. For continued protection of the clinic against theft or damage.
11. That God will raise up more missionaries to work with us in Romania. We really need someone with management skills who can teach and mentor a Romanian to be able to take over the business side of the clinic. This is not a "short term" project--it will probably take a few years to accomplish. Also, pray that we find the right person to be mentored!
12. For the country of Romania: 1) that the leaders and the people will rediscover the meaning of integrity, 2) against the spirits of deception, self-deception and corruption that are so dominant in this country, and 3) for a revival in the church in Romania, especially among the men, for their hearts and their minds. This is an ongoing, long term prayer.
