PRAYER REQUESTS

  1. That the new chief architect and the new mayor will sign the "Autorizatie de Constructie" soon!
  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. For the construction team from Pennsylvania coming in October, for all the preparation that needs to be done here and there before the trip, for their time and efforts to have a lasting impact for the Kingdom!
  5. For our citizenship process to finally be successfully completed, soon!
  6. For BEL Christian Fellowship, for direction for the future.
  7. 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.
  8. For continued good health, safety and unity. Linda's asthma has flared this last week, and we hope that it is due to the season rather than being due to the new kitty. Last year, for the first time, Linda got asthma in August, but this year spring and summer came earlier than last year.
  9. For the ICC orphanage children. Pray that the staff there will not only love the kids, which they do, but also will talk with each child as much as possible, which makes their job more challenging but will help the children with their language delays. Also, pray that those with developmental delays and medical problems will be healed by the Lord. Also, for adoptive parents for them or that their own parents will take them home and love them and care for them.
  10. 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.
  11. For the country of Romania: 1) that the leaders 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.
