O LORD, OUR LORD HOW EXCELLENT IS YOUR NAME IN ALL THE EARTH

THE CLINIC HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN OPENED TO THE PUBLIC!!

Today the Ministry of Health came and completed their inspection in less than 30 minutes. They were impressed with the changes and right then and there approved us to reopen and provide services to the public once again! Oh, what celebrations!!! First, we breathed deeply (a great sigh of relief and rest); all the concern and work that has gone into the last months have paid off - and we are first off most thankful to God for putting us on the straight and narrow path - He has done this!! We will continue to operate in a way that we know to be honouring to Him and give God all the GLORY! After breathing deeply, WE CELEBRATED - what rejoicing!!!

Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer over the last 6 months!

I (Sheri) will sleep DEEPLY tonight!

Love from us,
Matthew and Sheri Steer

CLINIC INSPECTION BY THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH IS IN 2 DAYS - Wednesday, November 16th, 2011 0800

Dear friends and family,
Just a very quick blog update to ask you to pray regarding our clinic reopening. If you remember in our last post we said that the Ministry of Health took the chain and locks off the doors to allow us to go in there to make improvements so that after 30 days they would return to do a proper inspection which would decide if they reopen us to the public. I know, two months has nearly passed since then, but this is Mozambique. ;-D
WELL, here it is, the day has nearly arrived and we are waiting in joyful anticipation knowing that we have done as they have asked, that we are complying by the law and we are looking forward to reopening and freely serving the public once again.
Wednesday, Novermber 16th, 2011 at 0800 (Mozambican time). Can we please ask you to pray before and if possible during that time, as a team of Mozambicans from the Ministry of Health will come and evaluate our clinic.
Today we had a pre-inspection inspection by one of the members of the inspection team who will come on Wednesday and the woman was very positive about the improvements we have made and only added little things that we should do (not on the original list).
Please also pray for Igor who has been hospitalized with respiratory problems since Friday night, we pray that they get to the bottom of his issues and that he comes home to us soon.

So much appreciation,
Matthew and Sheri Steer
