PRAYER REQUESTS
- For God's will to be done in the conflict (others would call it war) in
Kosovo and Yugoslavia. When you understand the cultures involved, you
realize that there is no black and white, and there will be no easy solution
to the conflict or the underlying causes. Also, pray that the conflict will
not spread to neighboring countries, including Romania!
- For the Lord's continued guidance as we work with the architect and light
steel company involved in our project, and that the architect here in
Bucharest will be able to obtain all the approvals needed before building can
start. Also, guidance regarding the design of the clinic, that we don't
overlook any requirements.
- 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).
- Pray for Campus Crusade's success in raising the needed funds to buy the
second floor of our clinic building, and also for a donor who might match the
funds that individuals raise.
- For the Lord's continued provision for all our financial needs, including
our Support Fund.
- For continued safety, unity and good health for us.
- 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. They're coming in
to visit us tomorrow.
- That God will raise up more missionaries to work in Romania.
- 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.
