PRAYER REQUESTS
- For a safe enjoyable trip to the U.S. for us, and for everything to go
well at the clinic while we are gone.
- For more donations for our clinic project--enough to cover our employees'
salaries and the utilities for especially the next 4-6 months. Our monthly
expenses are about $4,000. We hope that within 6 months we will have enough
Western patients to cover the overhead. The CBC lab machine, an X-ray
machine and finishing the basement are still long term goals. Donations
toward the clinic are best given to Open Door Medical Ministries, C/O
Clifford Olson, 9210 Science Center Drive, New Hope, MN 55428. Donations to
our Work Fund, Support Fund, Travel Fund and Personal Gift Fund should go to
World Mission Prayer League, 232 Clifton Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403,
specifying to which fund you wish to give.
- For additional funds to be able to help some of the poorest of our
patients with their medication expenses, costs of lab and other medical tests
and other acute financial problems.
- That the doctors who are coming over the next 3 weeks will find their
work busy enough, but with enough time to teach and to see some sites--to be
a generally worthwhile experience for them as well as helping us out
considerably.
- For Dr. Francisco Gross, that his children will also be able to get
Spanish citizenship and that his diplomas will be approved in Spain soon.
Pray also for a good quality Christian dentist here who would like to work
with him in our clinic. (We have received some possible names, but he needs
to return to talk with them.)
- For us to find other high quality Christian specialists who would like to
work part-time in the clinic.
- For continued general good health, safety and unity, for us and for all
of the people who are working at the clinic. Some of our employees were
diagnosed with strep throat today and yesterday.
- For continued protection of the clinic against theft or damage.
- That the residents who will be learning at our clinic and the patients
who come will experience Christ's love for them through our work and our
words.
- That God will raise up more missionaries to work with us in Romania. We
need people with medical training, clinic organization and management skills,
Christian counseling and evangelism skills as well as other skills.
- For the country of Romania: 1) that the leaders and the people 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.
