ANSWERED PRAYERS

1. Praise that the construction continues and that there have been no injuries or thefts so far!!
2. Praise for God's continued provision for the clinic project's financial needs! However, the project still needs about $40,000 before everything is completed and the clinic is ready to begin the final inspection/approval process.
3. Praise for continued good health, safety and unity! Linda's carpal tunnel symptoms have resolved with just vitamins and being away from the computer in Bucharest.

1. For Ruxanda, our foundation director, that she'll be able to deal with all of the bureaucratic and administrative issues of the foundation and building project while we're gone.
2. That the 4th quarter, 2000, VAT (Value Added Tax) refund will actually arrive soon. Ruxanda has informed us that the government financial office in Bucharest is still waiting for information from the government financial office in Braila.

Pray for patience for all of us!
