ANSWERED PRAYERS

1. Praise that the conflict in Kosovo is apparently over!

2. Praise that we have essentially finished the design of the building!

3. Praise for the reasonably good spirit of cooperation that seems to exist between all the people involved in the clinic project. Please keep praying for this.

4. Praise for our continued good health, safety and unity!

1. Please pray that the Lord will smooth the way so that we can get the engineering data from the States as soon as possible, and 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.

2. That the Lord will continue to bring donors for our clinic project, so that we can finish it by wintertime (including the wiring, plumbing, heating, linoleum and tile, paint, and fence). 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. Pray for Campus Crusade's success in raising the needed funds to pay for the second floor of the building.

4. That we will find good options for a heating system for the clinic and the upper floor, as well as a sturdy but comfortable floor covering (carpet isn't allowed in clinics here).

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

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

7. That the Traistaru family will receive strength and courage from the Lord to follow through with getting Flori evaluated for possible surgery before Dr. Pesamosca, the best pediatric surgeon here, retires. We visited them last month and encouraged them to come in to Bucharest, but they don't have a phone so we can't call them and follow up on that.

8. 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.

9. That God will raise up more missionaries to work with us in Romania.

10. 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.
