A quick praise report - NO MORE PARASITES!!! Praise the Lord with me!! I found out this past Monday! The natural stuff worked after 3 months (1 TBSP/day). Going forward with further healing and power and stength.
And ... it seems like my return is imminent!! A friend has frequent flyer miles for me and October 30th is looking like the date to book. Please pray with me for His confirmation on this because it will be a whirlwind frenzy of getting everything done and the rest of the support in.

August update - Getting fit!!
What have I been doing since I last wrote??!!
I have been preparing to get back to Romania both financially and physically fit! To that end, I was able to attend a fund-raising seminar last month which gave me a lot of ideas, biblical foundations and practical how-to's. Right now, I am concentrating full-time on raising ministry partners who might catch the vision to invest in this ministry. News Flash!! I just received news of a wonderful gift from an anonymous donor to pay a good portion of my doctoral costs!! Thank you whoever you are!! As the Lord brings everything together, hopefully I will be heading back to Romania by October. I will keep you informed.
Health is also getting better. By June I knew I was still experiencing symptoms that the buggers were still present - even after all the treatments! So, last month it was an answer to prayer to be able to start on some natural products which seem to be working to rid this body of pathogens and to strengthen my immune system.
I also had an opportunity to attend a ladies' seminar with Kay Arthur last month. Here is the pic of some beautiful ladies! I have benefited greatly from her bible teaching through Precept Ministries and would not be doing what I am doing in Romania without the biblical principles I have learned to apply through their inductive Bible studies.
Hope you are having a fabulous summer.

Body Building Boot Camp!
Went to a great fund-raising seminar on July 17th-18th to help me with some practical how-to's on how to raise funds to sustain me long-term in Romania. It was liberating and enlightening! It is sponsored by The Body Builders and their website is www.thebodybuilders.net. I recommend it for anyone raising personal support for ministry.
All for now!
All for now!

Puzzle coming together!
It has been a long time since I last wrote. Finally, some big puzzle pieces for future goals have been coming together – not only regarding health but for ministry plans in Romania as well. As I mentioned before, I was investigating possible partnerships with other ministries serving in Romania so that I could have more ministry support in the country since there are no fellow audiologists. I believe I have found that with Renee and Luke McDannel of Broken Heart Ministries. Their foundation has a partnership with World Vision Romania. She is doing similar ministry in child development projects as a occupational therapist and he is a lawyer. They are willing to partner with me so that I can have more ministry, legal and emotional support while doing this pioneer medical ministry. My sending organization remains International Teams and Broken Heart Ministries will provide some additional support in the country.
My Health? The parasites showed up again and I had to go on another course of medicine. I hope and pray the last one! Investigations with an infectious disease guy, my thyroid gal and my gastro guy for an endoscopy are helping me to get to the bottom of all these things (no pun intended!). So far results are all coming back negative. Praise the Lord!! I await some final results next week. I have been feeling better, a very good sign!
My Return? Plans are to return in September, Lord willing. Additional monthly support still needs to be raised to get me back over there. To accomplish that, will you consider how you might help get me back to the field by hosting a tea or dessert inviting some other folks who might be introduced in this ministry. Please pray with me as well for those 30 additional people who may be able to contribute monthly with $100, $50 or $25 or by special one-time gifts. All gifts are tax-deductible and can be sent directly to International Teams at 411 W. River Rd., Elgin, IL 60123. Credit card giving and electronic funds transfers are available.
My Doctoral program? I have an interview this week to determine the number of courses I will have to take – I hope it will be no more than 15. Then, in the fall I hope to start my first on-line course on the web when back in Romania. The on-line courses will each be $250. Would you like to sponsor me for a course?
