PRAYER REQUESTS

  1. For the people of Romania, that they will be able to survive the winter, especially those without heat or adequate nutrition. Please pray for a mild winter, and that the economy will improve so that pensions can increase.
  2. For God to continue to lead people to donate to our clinic project. Donations toward the clinic are best given to Open Door Medical Ministries, C/O Clifford Olson, 9210 Science Center Drive, New Hope, MN 55428. For donations to our Work Fund, Support Fund, Travel Fund and Personal Gift Fund, they still should go to World Mission Prayer League, 232 Clifton Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403, specifying to which fund you wish to give. (WMPL prefers not to duplicate the work of ODMM.)
  3. For the safety of all the workers on the construction project, for protection against theft of materials and tools, and also for no major delays in the construction process.
  4. That the process of getting connected to the city electricity and gas will be completed soon, and without delays caused by corruption.
  5. For our citizenship process to finally be successfully completed, soon, before we return to the States in March!
  6. For more opportunities and ability to witness effectively in this culture.
  7. For continued good health, safety and unity.
  8. For the ICC orphanage children--for adoptive parents for the children or that their own parents will take them home and love them and care for them.
  9. That God will raise up more missionaries to work with us in Romania. We need people with clinic organization and management skills, Christian counselling and evangelism skills.
  10. For the new government in Romania--that they will govern for the benefit of the people and will not immediately become corrupted by the privileges of power.
