260-The Lord of Love Healed My Pain from Divorce and Restored Joy in My Life!

The Lord of Love Healed My Pain from Divorce and Restored Joy in My Life!


Deaconess Yuriko Takeda
(Osaka Manmin Church, Japan)

Yuriko Takeda (Left) and Yukiko Enshu (Right)

When I finished the lawsuit of divorce with my second husband in September of 2009, I was at a loss what to do. I tried to become clear-minded and struggled to earn a living with my two children.

Hearing the Gospel when Exhausted in the Pain of the Second Divorce

One day when I went to the kindergarten to bring my second child, I chanced to meet Deaconess Yukiko Enshu who was attending Osaka Manmin Church. Even during a short conversation, I shared my story with her, and she listened to my words shedding tears. She also prayed for me, and let me hear a word of Jesus saying, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). I didn't understand the meanings of the word and her prayer, but was touched in my heart and wept with her explanation of the existence of God and His word. And I felt my heart was being healed. A few days later she gave me a card with a Scripture saying "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own," and the word comforted me (Matthew 6:34).
At that time I thought all problems were from my fault, and determined that I would not rely on anyone else but overcome for myself. But I was extremely exhausted. That's why I got interested in the existence of God who had given me comfort and peace.

I Made My Goal of Life of the Word of God, and Accordingly My Heart and Body Were Healed

In September of 2009, I came to attend Osaka Manmin Church. It was the 10th anniversary of the church and Pastor Heesun Lee led the handkerchief healing meeting. When I received the prayer from her, I was immediately healed of the pain on the spine.
Next Sunday I went to the church again and prayed to God for the lawsuit for the divorce with my second husband. I didn't know what to do, but just prayed, "God, I commit everything to You. Lead my family to the best way." After that many problems that had not been solved until then began to be solved, and the lawsuit of divorce that was expected to take much time came to close very quickly.
The pain on my ankles was so severe that I had difficulty in walking around and going to church, and I felt dizziness and nausea. But all these were healed even while I was attending the service. I also left my financial matter to God, and my apartment was sold at the proper price and I could purchase a new house located at the place I wanted.
I attended the worship service of Manmin Central Church via the satellite and through the messages preached by Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, I came to understand what true life is. I had not known where I was going, but I came to believe that if I would continue listening to the word of God preached by Dr. Jaerock Lee and keep it, my steps of life would be prosperous.
I saw Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee harbor and pray for each of the souls that are poor, rejected, and abandoned, and suffer from diseases because he had experienced diseases and poverty before meeting God. He really wants the souls to be released from diseases, pain and poverty. I was so thankful to God for allowing me to meet this truthful shepherd, and expected I would be able to leave my life to him and follow him.

Thanks and Joy Overflow in the Blessing Given by God

I am so happy since God is leading all the moments of my life. I wondered why so many afflictions came upon me and thought affliction would not come to an end even though I was overcoming them one by one. I asked myself, 'What is the original problem? What was wrong with me?' But I couldn't get the answer. Now how thankful everything is! I give thanks to God because I met the living God due to those painful and difficult days.
At the Bible study meeting, I was told the Lord is my eternal bridegroom, and was so comforted and pleased. I have no anxiety and worry at all because the Lord is my bridegroom.
I am praying what I will to repay the grace of God, and living a happy and joyful life. I really appreciate God for His leading me to true and happy life and I hope to become a true child of God without forgetting my gratitude for His grace.

259-We Were Protected from a Big Traffic Accident

We Were Protected from a Big Traffic Accident


Pastor Jacob Lee
(Kinshasa Manmin Church, Democratic Republic of the Congo)

Kinshasa Manmin Church was so busy with the preparation for holding the handkerchief healing meeting that would be held at the Mikonga Local Sanctuary. On April 22, Women's Mission was scheduled to spread the flyers and evangelize at the Mikonga Area.
I prayed with the handkerchief for the safety of the vehicles and the fruit of evangelism, and we got on a van and a car. After spreading the gospel all day long, they came back to the church filled with grace. Mama Rose, President of Women's Mission gave a testimony they had experienced on the way to Mikonga.
On a downhill road, the van suddenly made a popped sound and ran down in a zigzag manner. The driver tried to stop the van but it didn't stop. The two back wheels went flat and were flown away.
What was worse, a big bus was running after our van and seemed to bump into our van. It was not easy to stop our van because the road was not good.
All the members in the van had no fear and prayed to God crying out "God of the shepherd." By the help and work of God, the van that couldn't be controlled came to be pulled over at one side of the road. God protected them from a big traffic accident.

258-God Is Really Alive!

God Is Really Alive!


"Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God." (Psalm 62:11)

Two thousand years ago, God sent His only begotten Son Jesus to this earth, and Jesus the Son of God healed people of their diseases and infirmities. God is still performing miracles for those who seek and ask for His grace, and manifesting His power through His servants who are after the heart of God.
The holiness gospel has spread to countless souls through the ministry of Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Central Church and they have come to possess true faith and experience God's powerful works. Below are some examples from many powerful works of God that have taken place through him.

Cancers / "I Was So Skinny like a Dead Body to the Point of 38kg"

Deacon Bongyoun Han

"In August of 2002, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer at the Chonbuk National University Hospital, and fell into despair and alcohols rather than struggling for life.

My children heard about that, and hurriedly came to me and spread the gospel of the Lord. My heart was touched by their sincere heart and love for me, and attended the worship service of Manmin Central Church. I had no sooner walked into the main sanctuary than all pain disappeared.

In February of 2003, I felt something lumpy in my stomach and discharged a great amount of dark red blood. With the passing of time, my condition improved and the biopsy and endoscopy showed there was no more cancer cell remaining."

Result of endoscopy



1. Before receiving the prayer - Ulcerating tumor is seen
2. After receiving the prayer - Tumor is not seen anymore and only the trace of endoscopy is left.

Traffic Accident / "My Leg Was Run Over by a 47-person Bus"

Deacon Heonbaik Choi

"One day I was run over by a 47-person bus. My leg was put down by the front wheel of the bus.

The 12-ton bus crashed down my leg and I felt bone-breaking pain and lost consciousness. I was immediately taken away to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee by the people who saw the accident and he prayed for me.

I felt like cool breeze was passing through my left leg, and the pain was gone. The bone that had been protruded from around the knee was restored, too. To my surprise, the evaluation showed that there was no damage in the bone but just scratch."



1. Shortly after the traffic accident he was taken away on a pallet to Dr. Jaerock Lee
2. A 47-person bus left the trace of running over him on his trousers

Infertility / "We Came to Have a Baby in 7 Years afrer Marriage!"

Deacon Busam Kim

"After we got married, we have failed to have a baby for a few years.

My wife ate whatever food was said to be good for conception, took various herbal medicines, received medications at many gynecologic clinics, relied on artificial insemination, and made many other efforts.

But everything was ineffective. Later I was guided to Manmin Central Church and began to live a believing life listening to the holiness gospel. As my faith grew up, I was healed of urolith, and then earnestly relied on and fervently prayed to God for the conception of a child. In January of 2007, I received the prayer from Dr. Jaerock Lee and it was not long before my wife became pregnant.

On November 21, a pretty daughter was born in the midst of joy and happiness of all family."



Epilepsy / "I Lost Consciousness because of Epilepsy, but I Got Up by Prayer Immediately"

Joel Ramos" (Filipino)

"Since my childhood, I have suffered from epilepsy and cardiac arrhythmia accompanied with the increase of the pounding of the heart.
In September of 2001, I attended the 2001 Philippine United Crusade, and in the middle of the crusade, I lost consciousness and fell down. My body became stiffened like a dead person's and was taken away before the Speaker Dr. Jaerock Lee, and he prayed for me.
As soon as he finished his prayer, I instantly came to sense and got up and walked."



His whole body was stiffened, but got up and walked after the prayer.

Depression / "I Was Even Triggered to Commit Suicide due to Failure of My Investment to Stock and Depression"

Deacon Sesup Sim

"Ten years ago, I failed in my investment to stock and suffered from depression, insomnia, neurogenic pain in the abdomen, and Hwa-byung.

I felt it too difficult and painful to live day by day and gave up everything in my heart. After all, I was even triggered to commit suicide, but at that moment, I was reminded of my elder sister's happy smile and joyful life in faith.

In December of 2002, I called her and was guided to Manmin Central Church by her. I attended the Friday All-night Service and received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for the sick during the service.

I felt my shoulders were unfolded open and my body became hot. Next day I found I had been healed of all my diseases and have been living a happy life."

Burn / "Dead Cells Were Revived and I Was Completely Healed of Severe Burn"

Senior Deaconess Eunduk Kim

"In 1986, while cooking noodles, I slipped down to the floor and hit the pot of boiling water.
The boiling water covered my body and I had severe burns on the chest, belly, arms and legs. My body looked like boiled meat and the pain was severe beyond description.
There was no hope for recovery even if I would be sent to the hospital. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee ran toward me after hearing that incident and prayed for me, and then burning sensation disappeared. He prayed for me every day and dead nerves were revived and blood vessels were renewed. Scabs covered the skin like cracking barks and new flesh developed on the parts where scabs fell off. This process repeated a few times and I was completely recovered in 3 months even though it would seem impossible to be healed."



1. Her legs with severe burn
2. New flesh developed and she was completely healed

The Power of God Heals Us of Our Infirmities / "This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: 'He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.'" (Matthew 8:17)

'Infirmities' are totally different from light diseases including cold or headache. They refer to the state in which we cannot perform normal physical action due to the failure, paralysis or degeneration of some parts of the body.

Loss of the Sight / "I Lost the Sight in My Left Eye, but Now I Can See Again"

Brother Gunwui Park

"I received the operation on the cataract of the left eye at 3 in 1993, and suffered aftereffects including uveitis and complete detachment of the retina. This caused the contraction of the eyeball to happen. In 2006 I lost the sight on my left eye and have severe difficulties in the decrease of the sight on the right eye. In the July of 2007, when I received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, lights entered into my left eye and I began to see objects again. The eyesight test showed that the eyesight had been recovered to 0.1 from the state in which I couldn't perceive the light, and the eyeball recovered to normal with the change of intraocular pressure from 4 to 18. The sight of the right eye improved from 0.1 to 0.9.

The result of intraocular pressure test and the eyesight test



The left eyesight recovered to 0.1 and intraocular pressure improved from 4 to 18

AIDS / "Released from Severe Despair of AIDS"

Rallita

"My husband died in our early marriage, so I was searching for a job.

One day I was forcefully taken away by some people related to human trafficking trade and was forced to live a life of prostitution. I could get away from there by the help of the police, but had to live in the midst of suffering and despair of AIDS.

In October of 2002, I attended the second night of the 2002 India Miracle Healing Festival, and when the Speaker Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed for the sick, I received his prayer by faith. I felt like electricity were running through my whole body, and became assured of my healing. The medical checkup showed the negative of HIV test."

Doctor's note



"If the red bar appears on the left, it means the positive of HIV. But now it appears on the right and shows she is normal. I cannot deny the miracle of God. God is almighty." - Dr. Simon (Director of the clinical laboratory of C.S.I Kalyani Multi Speciality Hospital of India)

Peritonitis / "I Was Rescued from the Threshold of Death"

Deaconess Haeok Choi

"On December 18, 2007, acute appendicitis occurred to me and it burst out and developed into peritonitis.
My side became severely swollen and my kidney and liver were damaged. The doctor told me that I would die without the immediate surgical treatment. I trusted God, and endured severe pain by drinking Muan Sweet Water and receiving the prayer with the handkerchief of God's power.
Next day I felt like somebody were touching my lower abdomen, and the gas that had filled it came out and I felt my body became a little lighter. I discharged white urine as if poison was leaking out whenever I drank Muan Sweet Water, and I felt like flying in the air."



1. Intestines look clean and there is no symptom of appendicitis.
2. There is the trace of severe inflammation but everything else is normal.

Dermatitis / "My Daughter's Body Looked Terrible like Severe Burn due to Severe Impetigo"

Deacon Hyungsun Kim

"On July 13 of 2005, my 3-year-old daughter Yeji developed a blister on her leg. She scratched her leg and it began to cover all her body very fast. It worsened like severe burn. It was due to virus infection. My wife and I tried to stop Yeji from scratching, even watching her every night by turns. We even tied her hand with a plastic cord.
I felt so sorry and painful to see her hand tied with a cord. My wife and I were reminded of the teaching of Dr. Jaerock Lee that children's diseases are due to their parents' faults. We repented of having been in discord and not loved God more. And then we took her to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee and received his prayer. Afterwards discharge stopped and scabs covered the body and new flesh developed. A little while later all scabs fell off and on August 4, Yeji was completely healed in 3 weeks."



Yeji was recovered from impetigo by Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer

Disabilities / "I Threw Away My Wheelchair and Returned Home in Good Health"

Pastor Chen Tsen Man

"I suffered from polio at 2 and met with a traffic accident 14 years ago, so I had to rely on the wheelchair. In 2006, I came to read Dr. Jaerock Lee's books and watched '2006 New York Crusade with Dr. Jaerock Lee' DVD, and then was deeply touched.
I have longed for his life-filled message and his powerful prayer, and became assured of healing. At last in 2007 I visited Manmin Central Church and attended the monthly divine healing meeting conducted by Dr. Jaerock Lee.
When he prayed for the sick from the podium, I felt the shaking on my legs and saw bright lights flashing upon my body.
The pains on my legs disappeared and strength came upon the legs. After that I came to stand up from my wheelchair and walk properly without any help."

She was healed at the divine healing meeting and testified to her healing

Disabilities / "My Left Leg Used to be Shorter than the Right One by 4cm, but Came to Be Lengthened"

Deaconess Heekyung Song

"I was born with cerebral palsy on the seventh month, and my spine was found bent by 15 degree. Accordingly, my pelvis was twisted and I had to limp because my left leg didn't fall down unto the ground. In May of 1997, I attended the 5th Two-week Special Revival Meeting and received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer on the first day of the Meeting.
I felt like something cool on the spine. Later the evaluation showed the bent spine had come to be straightened and twisted pelvis was recovered to normal.
The left leg used to be 4cm shorter than the right one but was lengthened and my foot came to touch the ground. I came to walk properly and wear skirts."



1. Deaconess Song's childhood
2. Her shorter leg was lengthened after receiving prayer



Disabilities /"I Was Healed of 1st Degree of Disability and Threw Away My Wheelchair and Crutches"

Deacon Yoonsup Kim

"In May of 1990, I fell to the ground from the fifth floor at the electricity working place and was diagnosed with the 1st degree of disability. I had to wear the brace for the spine and could not lie down on bed, so I had to sit up and sleep. In 1998 I attended the 6-week Special Divine Healing Meeting and by the prayer of Dr. Jaerock Lee I stood up from the wheelchair. In the May of next year, 1999, I also attended the 7th Two-week Special Revival Meeting, and when I received the prayer I threw away the crutches and came to walk properly.

257-I Am Living in Blessing despite Economic Depression

I Am Living in Blessing despite Economic Depression


Deacon Mankyum Kim
(Planning Director of Art One Architects & Engineers; President of Men's Mission of Kangneung Manmin Church)

My wife said to me, "Honey, let's go to church~!" But I answered, "I will do later."
My wife had long suffered from severe psoriasis and the cracking of her hands and feet. Many kinds of medications were not effective to her, and she also suffered depression. But she was completely healed after she began attending church. Afterwards she prayed for me with tears and kept on trying to guide me to the church. In October of 2004, I followed her and began going to church, but I was a mere churchgoer. I couldn't pay attention to the sermon but just drowsed during the service. Pastor Dongsuk Lee, ministering to Kangneung Manmin Church and my wife encouraged me and tried to plant faith into my heart.

Healed of Gastroenteric Disorder by Prayer

I had suffered from gastroenteric disorder and stomachache for 16 years, and always carried digestive medicines. Since I was 175cm tall and 60kg heavy, I looked skinny and was always sensitive and often quick-tempered. I had many reddish pimples on my face because of stomach disorder, and felt tired because I didn't sleep sound. I didn't look good all the time. That's why my desire was to eat anything well and gain weight.
In October of 2005, Pastor Heesun Lee visited our church and led the founding service of Kangneung Manmin Church and handkerchief healing meeting. I received her prayer expecting accidental healing, but nothing happened to me. My wife encouraged me, saying, "Honey, please do by faith until the end!" So I changed my mind, thinking, "OK, I'll quit taking medicines and commit everything to God!"
I also drank a lot of Muan Sweet Water and fell to sleep even though I had not enjoyed drinking it until then. But unexpected things happened to me next morning. I couldn't sleep well because of stomachache and diarrhea, and I had many difficulties at my work.
My wife told me God was healing me so I should believe it and wait for His complete healing patiently. When one week passed, my stomach calmed down and my face began to become clean. Two weeks later my digestion was recovered and all pimples disappeared. I came to realize God had seen my faith until the last moment and washed my stomach with Muan Sweet Water and handkerchief prayer, and then healed me of my gastroenteric disorder.

As My Soul Prospered, I Was Successful in Everything and in Good Health

After healed of my gastroenteric disorder, many things changed. At every meal I offer my sincere thanks to God in prayer. It is because I was always worried about indigestion before but now I can eat any kind of food and digest it properly. I've gained weight to the point of 75kg, and I have confidence in everything because I am happy in spirit and flesh.
This experience caused me to possess true faith. Dr. Jaerock Lee's life-filled messages I listen to every week are sweeter than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. I came to worship God in spirit and truth during the service, and prayed without ceasing, and tried my best to live by the Word of God.
At that time there was a severe depression in the architect business in Korea, and as an architect I had to have severe difficulties in finance. I couldn't even afford to drive a car or have lunch sometimes. I left this matter to God and prayed fervently. Despite this financial trouble, my wife never complained, but looked at me with faith and encouraged me. Pastor Dongsuk Lee always interceded for us in prayer and confessed a good prosperity for us with faith.
At the workplaces I have tried my best to live according to the Word of God Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee teaches us, and walked the right way in any circumstances. In March of 2009, at last my trials came to a close. I did not do the business matters at my will and at my heart but attentively listened to other architects' opinions and worked with a sincere heart. I did not express any complaints despite frequent change of architectural design, and patiently served them.
In fact in some cases architectural design changes decades of times and most of architect do not want to work with them. But I could do it with gladness according to the Word of God telling us to seek the other's benefits. As that result, many clients were so touched by my deeds and introduced to me many architectural works.
Likewise, my work place is filled with many orders and I even make subcontracts and outside orders even though Korea has currently experienced continual decline in architectural field. Filled with the grace and blessing of God, my wife and I serve the church as Assistant President of the Finance Committee and President of Men's Mission of the church respectively, and have accomplished a happy family. We give all thanks and glory to God.

256-I Was Completely Healed of Cerebral Infarction and Diabetes

I Was Completely Healed of Cerebral Infarction and Diabetes


Brother Sukgu Seo
(Eastern Kwangju Manmin Church)

I enjoy going fishing. On August 20, 2009, I departed from Kwangju City and arrived in Jindo County to enjoy fishing. While fishing in Jindo, I suddenly lost strength and fell down to the ground. Next day my younger sister Senior Deaconess Sunnim Seo took me to the Chonnam National University Hospital. The MRI examination diagnosed me with cerebral infarction.
I was sent to the bigger hospital in Seoul to receive closer evaluation. The evaluation showed that two blood vessels in the heart were blocked and the blood vein in the brain became narrow. My surgical treatment was scheduled in October. Shortly before the surgery the doctor showed me the consent document and told me to sign on it. But he said, "Even after the surgical treatment there would be possibility for you to become a human vegetable, so please think this over carefully."
My family had a serious discussion and concluded that they would not receive surgical treatment but only rely on God, and then went back to Kwangju City. Something unexpected and amazing happened. My condition didn't worse any longer because of the prayers of Pastor Younok Jung and many church members. Pastor Jung and my younger sister Senior Deaconess Seo explained to me in detail about obedience to the Word of God, prayer, and worship service so that I could possess spiritual faith. I felt their love for the first time and began leading a faithful life in Christ.
On February 21, 2010 Pastor Heesun Lee visited Eastern Kwangju Manmin Church and held the handkerchief healing meeting. When Pastor Lee prayed a person next to me, my body became hot by the fire of the Holy Spirit, and felt stiffened tongue and paralysis on the right began loosening.
And I attended two Consecutive Special Daniel Prayer Meetings that started on March 15, and earnestly prayed to God. When a little amount of spiritual faith was given unto me, I quitted taking medicines I had eaten every day for the healing of 15-year diabetes and cerebral infarction. And I repented of my past wrongdoings including drinking and debauchery. After that the faith came upon my mind that I would be able to be healed through the prayer of Dr. Jaerock Lee.
On April 9, I came to Dr. Jaerock Lee before the Friday all-night service began, and received his prayer. The fire of the Holy Spirit came down upon my head and chest. My stiffened tongue came to loosen and I came to speak properly. And I came to move my arms and legs that had been paralyzed because of the paralysis on the right. In addition,
I was healed of 15-year diabetes and then I came to eat any food freely and didn't need to discern foods. How happy I am! Hallelujah!

255-Our Family Have Become United in the Lord, and now We're in Need of Nothing

Our Family Have Become United in the Lord, and now We're in Need of Nothing


Elder Candidate Kyosung Jin (12-1st Parish, 3-2nd Men's Mission)



Elder Jusup Jin and his wife (in the center), firstborn Elder Candidate Kyosung Jin (in the center of the row behind), second son Deacon Kyochun Jin and third son Kyochul Jin (left in the row behind), fourth son Kyojun Jin (second on the right of the front row) and all other family members gathered in joy and happiness

My family really overflows with joy. The main reason for that is because all of the 19 members including my parents, my three brothers and their families attend the same church.
In 1998, I was first guided to Manmin Central Church by Pastor Myoungsool Kim (ministering to Muan Manmin Church). Until then I had been thirsty for the Word of life, and when I heard many people from the whole country were attending the Friday All-night Service of the church, I harbored a desire to go there. When I attended the church's Friday All-night Service with my wife and my 3-year-old son, it was an unforgettable moment.
The service started at 11:00 PM and closed at 4:00 next morning, but we were so filled with joy that we couldn't know how fast the service progressed. I went to office after two hours' sleeping, but I didn't feel tired at all. I had not been able to quit smoking and drinking for long even if I attended another church. But after I attended that Friday All-night Service, I quitted smoking and drinking completely and tried my best to live by the Word of God.
I have three brothers. In 1994, we, all four brothers, lived in the same house with our parents, and we were attending different churches. My wife and I prayed all the members might attend the same church and tried our best to show the examples of becoming a grain of wheat that after falling into the earth and dying, bears much fruit.
After all, in 1997, they all joined Manmin Central Church. My third brother Kyochul Jin first registered at the church, and then my second brother Kyochun Jin, and lastly my last brother Kyojun Jin did.
My wife Senior Deaconess Myungsoon Ryu used to feel very burdensome of my mother before. But when she heard of Ruth who served her mother-in-law with all her heart, my wife repented from the heart and came to serve her mother-in-law with a sincere heart. As a result, my mother also joined in Manmin Central Church. And by the guidance of my mother, my father Elder Jusup Jin also joined on December 31, 2001.
Now my parents and his four sons and all their families are attending the same church and serving the church as faithful workers. How thankful this is! I am serving as a sub-district leader and a member of Peniel Chorus.
My wife had a weak body since her birth and had a few problems in her kidneys, heart and stomach. And she was suffering from depression, so she even tried to commit suicide. But since she began attending Manmin Church, all her diseases were healed and was appointed as Vice President of Women's Cell Leaders' United Missions.
The same siblings of one mother have many things in common. They depend on each other, have many things in common, and build up affection. But if they get married and constitute their own family, their brotherhood loosens because they begin to put their children, their home and their own lives ahead of their brothers. Sometimes they find themselves in disagreement with other brothers or have ill feelings against them in the midst of seeking their own benefits. But we can make a happy family with faith and love in the Lord.
While we four brothers were living together, various things happened. But we always made our efforts to be at peace with others, and to seek the other's benefits despite our own loss, just the way the Word of God and the teachings of Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee tell us. Whenever various problems took place, we put them into the formula of God's Word and tried to think of them in goodness.
Quarreling, disagreement in opinions, stubbornness, and self-seeking departed from us. We came to consider others' opinions in their shoes, serve and help others, and to sacrifice ourselves for others unsparingly.
Two years ago, my third brother's wife Deaconess Sung-ra Tak was diagnosed with breast cancer. All the members of our families fasted and offered God our vowed prayers. God answered the prayers of our love and faith. When she received the prayer form Senior Pastor, she was completely healed. Through this experience, we all came to become more united and have one heart in faith.
We did not stop testifying to our experiences of God's grace and power at each Korean festival and all family events. When we gathered at a house to celebrate those festivals and events, we shared happy talks with one another, and prepared for tasty foods with joy, and then spent a day or two days with joy.
Since we are serving the same church and the same shepherd in faith and filled with God's love, we are envious of nothing in the world. We want to save not only our family and relatives but also many more souls to please God.

"I Was Healed of the 5-cm Breast Abscess!"

Deaconess Sung-ra Tak (30th Parish, 2-2nd Women's Mission)

I had led a believing life from my birth, and after meeting my husband Deacon Kyochul Jin, I registered at Manmin Central Church on March 21, 1997. I was so touched at the pure messages of Dr. Jaerock Lee and attended the worship services. I was assigned to the duty of a cell leader and later a sub-district leader. But the faith grew slowly.
In the early May of 2008, I felt pain on the right breast and something hardened in it. Pain worsened and appeared black and blue. The right shoulder ached and I became deafened on the right ear. On May 17, I went to the hospital for the evaluation. The doctor said the result would be presented two weeks later. But a week later the doctor called me and told me to come to the hospital hurriedly. On May 25, I went to Senior Pastor and received his prayer, and next day I went to the hospital again. The doctor said to me, "The result is showing it is breast cancer 100%. Please hurry to a big hospital for closer evaluation." That day I went to the bigger hospital and received ultrasonography and biopsy, and waited for the result.
All of the 19 family members including parents-in-law and my husband and his brothers' family attended Daniel Prayer Meeting and offered God vowed prayer for me during that week. I also attended divine healing meeting held by Manmin Prayer Center, and repented of my sins including my ill-feelings against my husband's family listening to the messages attentively. On May 30, Dr. Jaerock Lee conducted a special divine healing meeting during Friday All-night Service, and I received his prayer. I felt something cool on my whole body, and became assured of healing.
Later I got the result of ultrasonography and biopsy. It showed I was not diagnosed with breast cancer but with only breast abscess. One week later, even that breast abscess completely disappeared. Through this, my husband and his brothers strengthened their brotherhood, and we all became more united and came to serve God faithfully.

254-The Lord Totally Changed the Journey of Life of a Homeless Person!

The Lord Totally Changed the Journey of Life of a Homeless Person!


Deacon Seokwon Chang (2-4th Men's Mission, 12-2nd Parish)

My heart was swollen with the thought that I would be able to meet a woman, get married and have a happy family over 30 years old. I committed all my money to her, but later I discovered she was a married woman who had a daughter and parted from her.
I fell into a great shock, and began leading a loose life, squandering money. In my late forties, the future seemed gloomy and I was at a loss what to do. I tried to live an earnest life renewing my heart, but misfortunes continually came on me. To make the matters worse, I got involved in a traffic accident and came to suffer from the fracture of the left shoulder blade, the damage on the right ribs and paralysis on the right leg.
I was forcefully discharged from the hospital and began to live a miserable life a homeless man. I moved around a few subway stations including Seoul Station and Yongsan Station, and lived under the Noryangjin Railroad Bridge and at the restroom in the park. To make a living, I collected waste paper and lived from hand to mouth with the income from selling the waste paper.
On July 6, 2005 I met with my parish leader Pastor Hakbum Kim and my district leader Deaconess Minjung Kim at the kids' park in Daerim-Dong, Youngdeungpo-Gu, Seoul. That day I was guided to attend the Wednesday Evening Service at Manmin Central Church by them, and so touched at the message. My heart was attracted to the church. After the service came to an end, I returned to the park, All of a sudden, an old woman who was running a used-garments' store called me and said to me, "Are you looking for a house? I'll let my room out for you. You'll pay for it when you earn much money."
It was an extraordinary thing. Now I know such a thing happened because God was pleased when I listened to the evangelists and attended the church.
The following day the pastor came to me again and testified to the living God and Jesus Christ. She planted faith into my heart. Pastor Kim and district members bought a new suit for me and provided me with food and many necessary things. They really helped me be able to live an independent life, with their devotional service and love.
In 2008, I got a job and my life was restored, but at a corner of my heart greed grew. Because of covetousness for more money, I got involved in dealing with illegal fakes and resulted in a penniless beggar. I couldn't dare to go to the church because I felt so sorry for that. I wanted to go to church again with confidence after earning money. But it was not easy. I really needed a mobile phone, so I bought a new one even if I had little money at that time. As soon as my mobile was opened, I received the phone call from my group leader. With his help I was able to attend church again and be provided with food and dwelling shelter by group leaders. In addition, I was employed at the Seoul Joong-ang Insu Branch, Shinhan Life Insurance Inc. I filled my heart with the Lord's love, raised my faith and led an ardent life of faith in faith.
While listening to the Word of God, my life began to change and I came to Senior Pastor to greet him. I walked the right way as taught by him, and thought how I could please God. In addition, I kept the Lord's Day holy, and gave the tithe and various offerings to God. As a result, my spirit prospered and I was assigned with a duty of a group leader and received financial blessing in the midst of the increase of the number of insurance contracts. I am trying my best to evangelize others testifying to my life, and to serve and help the rejected. How thankful my life is!

253-I was Healed of Folliculitis from My Head

I was Healed of Folliculitis from My Head


Deaconess Eunmi Kim (1st Mary's Mission, 7th Parish)

In February of 2010, I felt fever on my head. At first a few cysts developed on skin of the back head, but soon it spread to all the parts of the head but on the top. Lymphatic glands got swollen like clusters of grape. After the evaluation, I was diagnosed with folliculitis and virus intruded into the lymphatic glands by the second infection. I couldn't endure with itchiness, and whenever I scratched, discharges oozed out and it smelled so bad because of purulent inflammation on the hands, feet, and the claves.
On Sunday, February 21, when I came to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, he said to me, "God is leading you to become sanctified!" Praying to the Lord, I realized clearly why this had happened to me. I repented with tears of my lingering attachments to the world, not having loved my family, and having complained and groaned.
On that week I was attending the diving healing meetings held in Manmin Prayer Center. When its President Mrs. Boknim Lee prayed for me, the fire of the Holy Spirit came upon me and something amazing occurred to me. Chill departed from me, and scabs covered the sick parts where pus and blood had oozed out. Discharges secreted from the scabs, and scabs fell off and covered repeatedly. Sores on the head, elbows, and feet were recovered remarkably and the swelling of the lymphatic glands calmed down. It was not long before I was completely healed.
It used to be painful to do small things including washing my hairs before, but I am feeling the Lord's love washing my hair freely.



The head was covered with boils due to abscess on the skin, and severe itchiness, discharges, and bad odor followed.
