Prayers - July 1999

ANSWERED PRAYERS

  1. Praise that the building planning and approval process is moving forward, even if slower than we had hoped! We received the engineering information for the building 3 weeks ago.

  2. Praise for the spirit of cooperation that seems to exist between all the people involved in the clinic project. Working with the Campus Crusade people is a big help and encouragement!

  3. Praise that Flori's parents brought him in to see Dr. Pesamosca, even though he couldn't be admitted for tests yet.

PRAYER REQUESTS

  1. Please pray that the architect can get all the approvals needed quickly, so that we can receive the Autorizatie de Constructie in time so that the building will be up and enclosed before the fall cold weather and rains start, or if God doesn't will it to be done this fall, that we will get the portion done that He wills.

  2. That the Lord will continue to bring donors for our clinic project. Donations can go either to our Work Fund at World Mission Prayer League (232 Clifton Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403) or to our project support organization, Open Door Medical Ministries (C/O Clifford L. Olson; 9210 Science Center Drive; New Hope, MN 55428).

  3. For the Lord's continued provision for all our financial needs, including our Support Fund.

  4. For continued safety, unity and good health for us.

  5. That we will be able to obtain Romanian citizenship this year.

  6. For the Lord to heal Flori Traistaru's cough, so that he can get his esophagus evaluated to determine the need for surgery.

  7. For the ICC orphanage children, including Steliana, that they will continue to catch up in their development. And for Ionut, that he won't need to continue the cortisone long term for his asthma.

  8. That God will raise up more missionaries to work with us in Romania. We need people with clinic management skills and evangelism skills for starters.

  9. For the country of Romania: 1) that the leaders of this country 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, 3) for a revival in the church in Romania and for a "Promise Keepers" type revival among the men in Romania.
