One year ago, Wilner Cornely was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Wilner and his wife Chantal have served God for over 30 years in the full time ministry, helping churches all around the world: Boston, Paris, Miami, Haiti, Jamaica, New York, Johannesburg, Madagascar, Mauritius, Phoenix, Chicago, and Detroit.
Wilner is still fighting this ugly disease. Although it has been very challenging, Wilner has never stopped serving God and his church. He has continued to inspire us and has challenged us to never be lacking in zeal, no matter what.
Many disciples have been praying and looking for ways to help. You can help by donating at this site for Wilner’s medical and living expenses. Please also spread the word by sharing this on Facebook and other social media.
The following is Wilner’s latest update from his site:
“And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.”(Romans 5:2b-5)
Dear friends and family;
Chantal and I continue to be incredibly grateful for all of you who have faithfully prayed without ceasing this past year for God to work wonders on my behalf regarding my health situation. And working wonders he has up to now for the mere fact that I can be writing this update a year later almost.
Because of your faithfulness and your commitment in prayer, I believe I was able to find strenght in God to carry on and have been able to learn not only to rejoice in the hope of the glory of God, but also to rejoice in my sufferings.
I am fully convinced that God is refining Chantal and I’s faith, putting it through the fire, training us for a whole new level of service to his glory. And we count it a privilege to have such honor bestowed on us.
Three weeks ago, I began to have some intense headaches that led me to the ER. After many tests, it was discovered that the cancer has traveled to my brain. An occurrence which is highly unlikely according to all the experts on my case. I take it that God has made me a highly unlikely patient for the purpose of displaying his glory in my life and of working his wonders which continue to defy scientific data and knowledge.
Since this last discovery, I have gone through 10 sessions of radiation therapy for my head and God has protected me from all major neurological symptoms except some mild headaches and dry eyes which are manageable with medications.
As far as the pancreatic cancer, the disease has stabalized and continued to shrink and the doctors are not sure whether to consider me as someone who is ready to go to auspice because of the new findings about my brain or someoe ready to go back to his life because of the wonders God performed in the past year
By faith, I am willing to put myself out there and take a third view: God is pushing everyone aside because he is taking over. Because he is mighty to save, his mighty right will provide what is still lacking for complete victory. That’s my final answer and I am sticking to it.
To Him be all the glory now and forevermore! Amen!
