Winkie has had yet another restitch job on his lateral wound. They made it even tighter this time. So, this is (on his main wound) stitch job #3, I believe. There is still some seepage and we’re told it may be another 2 weeks. He has been ministering from his bedside to everyone who comes to visit him, from national Church leaders and ministry leaders (including youth and worship leaders), to international visitors and military personal. If anything I would say he has become even more em passioned about his 16 principles to change the world, as laid out in his 21st Century Reformation Manifesto teachings. Stressing the importance and value of these, he has been exhorting everyone from YWAM leaders, to business people, worship leaders, international military personal, pastors, and the list continues. I am a little reminded of the apostle Paul, who at the end of his life simply received people at his home, and ministered to all who came to him.Winkie had a lot of visitors yesterday. We were visited by a YWAM/ex-Last Days Ministries team who prayed for us and had prophetic words for Fae and I. We also received a visit from some American Air force officers, who brought us some toiletries and food. Dad also had a visit from professor Kim (the physiotherapist who has been graciously helping us) and her husband. They brought us some delicious Asian food.Mom and I have been helping Dad exercise. Mom’s been making sure he goes on daily walks and professor Kim’s asked me to help him do isometric exercises and help increase his range of motion. Winkie is able to brush his own teeth now, and shave (with some assistance). Dr. Lim has stressed the importance of his eating protein foods at this time, and I continue to give him supernutritional drinks and smoothies with ingredients from all over the world.” William Pratney Posted by Israel Anderson
