Pratney Family Update: “Well, it’s good to be in New Zealand, have the Korean hospital bill fully and finally paid off (praise God!) and be eating food with which we are more accustomed. We had some guests today- at least three former Agape Force members- John and Jewel Stephanie and Anne Mclean. Then there was Anne’s daughter, who I was helping with some video stuff, my father’s sister (who by-the-way stocked our fridge full of some wonderful food [which we’ve been enjoying]), and the nurse we’ve temporarily managed to secure to dress Winkie’s wound. Mom is loving being back in her home country- eating the food and breathing the fresh air. I too am glad to be here. I’m mostly glad for Dad. He’s home! Hallalujah! One of the comments he got today was that he looked so young (it’s the weight loss from the hospital stay). I’m keen to get various specialists lined up to both inspect (don’t know if that’s the right word but it’s all I can think of for now) and work on Winkie. I want the full monty for him- massage, nutrition, medical care, skin care… whatever he needs. And we have a good team of people here who are helping us line that up. And, thanks to the generous contributions given in light of Winkie’s situation, we can secure that special care for him. I can’t thank everyone enough who’s sent money in. God really is in control, and it’s evident through the contributions, through the people who have helped us along the way, and through the abundant blessings that keep being poured out on us. Honestly, besides the times when I was doing ministry with my father, I haven’t known such abudant blessings as now. The people who come are just the right people at the right times. And they seem to bring just what we need when we need it. It’s like this divine guidance/provision thing- kind of like Elijah by the brook Cherish, being fed with bread and meat by the birds each day. God is definitely taking care of his servant, and I’m lucky enough to reap the benefits of being included in that care (not that He doesn’t take care of me- but normally I don’t get such constant, special care). Bless you all for your prayers and abundant generosity. May God reward you in full for the way you’ve helped us.” William Pratney Posted by Israel Anderson
