We have been so excited to see great progress in some attempted projects over the last few months. After working in the clinic for almost a year, Lora took on the project of managing the clinic’s finances. Without having had a “clinic manager” in sometime, the everyday tracking of income and expenses had been a bit neglected. At the end of each month, our records were quickly being compiled and our numbers weren’t balancing with our actual cash in hand. As the extent of the problem came to our attention more and more, Lora grabbed a calculator and took it on.
Over the last couple of months she has focused on creating and implementing systems to better control the clinic’s spending and bookkeeping. By encouraging the clinic staff, daily tracking of every cent coming in an going out, daily investigating any holes in the finances, and by the Grace of God, the clinic’s books finally balanced for the first time in over a year and we celebrated. As she has virtually no experience in accounting it has been a great adventure.
Please pray with us that the clinic’s books continue to balance, that the clinic staff becomes more and more receptive and cooperative with the new process, and that we continue to make progress towards our goal of creating a monthly and yearly budget.
