TOWARD THE LIGHT
~ Monday, 22 May 2006 ~
How does one describe an angel-worker and spirit shaman like Ken Prather?
Let me begin by stating that in 1998 he was attacked by five men with
baseball bats. No reason could be found for this brutal attack.
Afterward, Ken spent 32 days on life support, three months in the
hospital, and three years in a nursing home. No one expected him to
live. No one expected him to move again, to be able to stand, walk,
think and speak correctly, or have a productive life. He defied the
odds, he said, because of his near-death experience and what he learned
while on the Other Side.
He began a facility he called "Reaching For Joy,"
because that is what he wanted to do, to reach out to others who were
disabled or dying, people who were lost souls and had no place to go,
so they could be helped, have a place, have a home. Since then,
Reaching For Joy has become quite an organization that does many things.
As
Ken puts it: "Reaching For Joy is not only about people helping others,
but showing that by helping you are mostly helping yourself grow and
mature, and realize that our purpose on earth is to share with others.
Reaching For Joy has become internationally known, and with the help of
our local Zoo and other volunteers we are now taking Zoo critters up to
our local Children's Hospital to visit sick children and their parents
who are with them. We even, upon request, make visits in their rooms.
Let it be known that Reaching For Joy is a volunteer program, with
volunteers working the program." ~ PMH Atwater
