36-May this letter be the light and the hope to all the leukemia-stricken children!

May this letter be the light and the hope to all the leukemia-stricken children!

Leukemia is a kind of blood cancer that develops when leukocyte has uncontrollably increased and destroyed the function of blood. Deaconess Hwasook Kang experienced the living God when her leukemia–victimized son, Sejin, was completely cured through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, and then all her family registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church and are living happy lives now. Dear Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, I am Deaconess Hwasook Kang, Sejin's mother who always misses you from so far away here at the Chang-won Manmin Church. Everything I have done until this moment of this day in 2005 has been due to the grace of the Father and our Lord, and the prayer and love of my shepherd, you. In May 2000, when my son Sejin was diagnosed with leukemia, nothing, not even money, could substitute for the pains all of us had suffered. My son had narrowly overcome a few crises of death and been in coma during a short hospital treatment. I had to wait for my son's death thinking everything was over. At that time God had mercy on my wretched family. He sent my brother Deacon Chongkyu Kang to my son who stood on the edge of precipice of death. My brother preached the gospel and introduced to us your ministry. We came to have new hope for our future. In May 2001, I put my son on my back and flew from Chang-won to Seoul to attend the 9th Two-week Special Revival Meeting. While listening to your message on the first day of the revival, I could not stop my tears. Next day when you prayed the "Prayer for the Sick" from the pulpit, something ablaze like burning fire was seen before me, and my body became hot and sweat ran down my back. At that time a strange thing happened to my son next to me and my mother-in-law. Yellow nasal discharge ran down from his nostrils. My mother-in-law, who was hundreds of kilometers (miles) away, had seen the same thing in her dream. From then on, my son recovered a bright and reddish face and could eat and digest any kind of food. His urine turned clear and pure. He could play briskly and actively with his cousin, Jinjoo, for quite a while without panting for breath, which had been impossible for him for a long time. I was so happy with that and gave thanks beyond words to God. I give thanks to the grace of God and you who healed my dying son by a prayer. It has been five years since my son was healed of leukemia. In November 2001, I took my son to a hospital in Chang-won to have his blood examined. The result told us that my son was normal. At that time I wanted to have my son examined in the marrow of his bones by MRI pictures, but did not because of so many things that had to be taken care of at the time. And we did not have to go to hospital because my son was so healthy. About four years later GCN (Global Christian Network) and WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network) asked me to prepare the medical data of his healing, so I had my son receive close examinations including marrow examination at the hospital in January 2005. Since my son was healed and saved from death, all my family have been thankful for the new life and they have been determined to give God anything He desires. My son has never forgotten that his life was given again by God, so when I told him that he would receive hard and complicated examinations, he assented readily and willingly. I was pleased with his mature attitude. He took courage when he arrived at the hospital and received all kinds of examinations with joy. One time I became drowsy, he went for an examination by himself. He has done everything easily and the result of all examinations including the examination on leukocytes in the marrow surprised all the doctors in charge of him: He was perfect. Everything was due to God's grace. Hallelujah! My shepherd, senior pastor, I give thanks again. Most of the children who had been in hospital with Sejin died and only a few still survived. There was a boy who had been sent to the hospital after my son and diagnosed with the same disease, leukemia. The boy was suffering from the after-effects of the operation on his brain. For three years the boy could not move his arms and legs as he wanted. He had to sit in a wheelchair and lived a miserable life being fed with food through a tube because he had a problem in eating. 1. Marrow examination on May 9 2000 before the prayer: Acute lymphatic leukemia 2. Marrow examination on January 27 2005 after the prayer: Cells 50: to 60 % immature cells: Under 1 % "I wish all those children in hospital would believe in God and could be healed! My son would have lived the same miserable life. Could he have survived and been with us?" All of my family feels God's love from the heart and gives thanks to God and Pastor Myoungsook Chun and her church members. My shepherd, I thank you for establishing a branch church in Chang-won. Furthermore, our loving Father has poured many blessings on us. My husband was scheduled to retire from his company because of his company policy on reduction of workers, but he was able to escape layoff and rather he was promoted to deputy manager of his department from assistant manager. My mother-in-law has evangelized many people and I have been faithful to my God-given duties. Sejin and his elder brother Sungjin read a chapter of the Bible and memorize a biblical verse every day. They do their best to pray. How thankful and happy I am to see them grow in the truth and faith! It is reported that about 25 hundred thousand people have been stricken with leukemia every year. I want to tell them that their disease is a small thing before the power of God, and I hope this testimony will be light and hope for them. I give thanks to God for His grace and love because He saved my son who was dying. He has blessed all of us. I give thanks to you for your earnest prayer. From Deaconess Hwasook Kang of Chang-won Manmin Church

35-I will testify to the power of God to the medical world

I will testify to the power of God to the medical world

Bro. Minsuk Seo (25, Medical College of Yonsei University and Intern at the Yongdong Severance Hospital) I am the happiest and most thankful when I listen to the word of life at a church where God is present with us. I have lived in faith since my childhood, but nobody has given me answers to a few biblical verses I have been curious about for a long time. One day in 2003, a friend of my mother's gave her a few audio tapes of Rev. Dr. Lee's preaching and my mother was greatly moved by them because she had been thirsty for the truth. My mother and father registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church in August that year and I registered in November. Each service time I was happy with life-filled messages preached. That was because Rev. Dr. Lee solved my long-term questions as if he had read my heart. And when I witnessed God's powerful works such as the blind coming to see, the deaf to hear and the mute to speak, I, as a medical doctor-to-be, felt every kind of mental framework of my consciousness and all knowledge I had acquired, broken into pieces. But, I sang praises to God the Almighty confessing those who are stricken with incurable diseases can be cured by the power of God alone. At first I was worried about my scheduling of my prayer time and study time because I was a medical student. I needed much more time than most students majoring in other subjects. However, I believed God would give me strength and ability to do pray and study, and even attended Daniel Night Prayer Meeting every night. As I was taught through the sermon audio tapes about "Secret of Successful Study," I always prayed to God for 10 or 20 minutes and read the Bible before I started studying. God enabled me to concentrate on my studies and blessed me with good points at exams. In October 2004, I received the prayer from Rev. Dr. Lee for the National Health Personnel Licensing Examination that I would have to sit through 100 days later. He prayed, "Let him gain good points at that examination and pass it." Thanks to his prayer, my heart was comfortable in preparing for the exam and I passed it with a good grade point. Still more, I passed the exam for internship at Yongdong Severance Hospital. I hope to spread the powerful works accomplished exclusively by God the Creator to the whole medical world and repay His grace.

34-After giving offerings for charity and mission with faith

After giving offerings for charity and mission with faith

Deacon Sungkyu Park (Representative of Kangdong Real Estate Company, 5-20th Parish) Indulgence, Wandering, Failure, and Loneliness I failed in my attempt to enter Seoul National University. I felt very sorry for my family and relatives, and my disappointment finally drove me into indulgence in the world and wandering. I planned to satisfy their expectation with a prosperous business and abundant wealth. But my businesses – restaurant, beerhouse, and several companies – continuously failed and debts had continuously increased. I suffered from my family's abandonment, too much drinking, and my intemperate life style. I also suffered from mental anguish and a loneliness that continually oppressed me. My life had come crashing down around me without knowing any end. A glittering light and liberation from all pains In December 1998, I was guided to Manmin Joong-ang Church by a friend of mine. I was moved by the message of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and from that time I have felt a warm wind blowing into my body a few times and experienced all the fatigue departing when he prayed for the sick at the podium. Witnessing miraculous signs, wonders and healings of various diseases, I came to have big faith. Nonetheless, a part of my heart was being oppressed because of great debts that I had incurred during my period of wanderlust. In 2001, when Rev. Dr. Lee went to a mountain for deep prayer three times, I prayed for him with two three-day periods of fasting and one seven-day fast. Meantime my faith grew and I received the blessing of entering into a real estate business with my elder brother. Through that business, I was able to pay all my debts back in just a few months. I then began to give mission offerings. I enjoyed rest and peace in spirit and body. I was very happy. Senior pastor Rev. Dr. Lee had dedicated himself to accomplishing world evangelization mission without resting day and night. While praying about how I could repay the grace and love of God, I was determined to start my own business to serve him and help with my mission offerings Trials for blessing and forgiveness To pass the test for a licensed real estate agent, I received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer and started to study for it. In 2002, I burst into the real estate agency business. It was prosperous for me and with most of income, I gave mission offerings. I even did give security money and a premium as offerings. In March, 2003, I attended the 28-day Special Night Prayer Meeting and prayed to God that He might help me move my office into a better one. Until I attended the prayer meeting, it had seemed impossible for me to have a premium for the office returned. But, I could receive it by the grace of God. I was so thankful that I gave all the money I had received as a premium to God as an offering. After that God gave me a dream. In that dream Rev. Dr. Lee came to me and I asked him, "Senior Pastor, Where do you think I should move my office?" He clutched my hands with a smile and answered me, saying, "Kangdong!" Immediately I obeyed and contracted on an office in Kangdong area. I hurriedly agreed on selling my office with a premium of 30 million Won (30 thousand US dollars) because I wanted to give more offerings. And I gave as offerings 20 million Won (20 thousand US dollars) that I received in advance. However, unexpected trials began. The contracting party notified me of his cancellation in a one-sided way. He also accused me of cheating by deceiving the police, the Kangdong-gu office, and that building's owner. As a result, I had many difficulties in continuing my business and suffered from being severely pressed to pay back debts from a house mortgage, credit card loans and amortization on my car for more than nine months. In that situation I had to sleep at my office or in my car because I could not stay at home. The contractor afflicted and harassed me that much in those ways, but I blessed him in prayer and treated him with as much goodness as I was able. Finally, through severe trials I was able to realize the cause for all my pains, and believed that through all these trials God would work for the good for me and lead me to bear beautiful fruits. Overflowing blessings in spirit and finance I came to realize through Rev. Lee's messages that I faced all this because I had committed acts of the sinful nature, and felt so sorry for it being reminded of Rev. Lee who had lamented for me with tears and prayed to God with heartbreaking pain. I thoroughly repented of all my sins before God, and then I received the prayer of blessing from Rev. Dr. Lee. I started a business at Chunho-dong. When I moved there, I was so poor that I had a trouble in paying for the moving expense of 40 thousand Won (40 US dollars). But God soon blessed me to give my tithe by two million Won (2 thousand US dollars). In 2004, for two overseas crusades in Germany and Peru, I gave as many mission offerings as possible and then God gave me abundant blessings: six full-time staff members at the office and monthly tithes of five million Won (5 thousand US dollars). And later I could give the tithe of 10 million Won (10 thousand US dollars). I cannot but confess that all of what I am and have was not from my goodness or efforts but by the grace of God the Father who listened to Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer for me and the love of my shepherd. Now I have the hope for New Jerusalem, the best dwelling place in heaven. I give all thanks and glory to God the Father and give limitless thanks to Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee who has prayed for me with loving tears to this day. Hallelujah!

33-I was saved from the crisis of home destruction due to alcoholism

I was saved from the crisis of home destruction due to alcoholism

Deacon Jintaik Jung (7-31st Parish, 2-3rd Men's Mission) Clash! "Come on! Where were you today? Uh?" "Why, honey? What's up?" Alcoholism and the crisis of the breakup of family Ten years ago I did not drink without doubting and beating my wife, Sunja Kim, and I bothered neighbors with evil words and deeds. It was a miserable life. Nobody around me liked to stay with me. Everybody tried to avoid me. My brothers felt great shame because of me and tried to commit me to a mental hospital. My wife, who had tried to understand me up until then, could not endure my rude and coarse words and actions caused by drunkenness anymore and she left home with children. One day in 1997, I was lying down on the floor of the vacant house after my wife left. I felt so wretched and miserable with myself. Afterwards I took more than 50 sleeping pills and exploded a can of butane gas to put an end to my life. But death and life were not in my hands. My wife guided me to Manmin Joong-ang Church My wife, who had left me, met Deaconess Younsook Kim and had attended the Daniel Night Prayer Meeting through the Internet at Ilsan local sanctuary. The loving God gave her His grace from the first day and she thoroughly repented of her past sins with tears for three days. After that she dreamed and in that dream, she saw the characters of "Manmin Joong-ang Church" and she was attending that church. She registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church and received much grace through the messages of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. A month later she thought about me and about how lonely I must be and called me. She said to me, "Honey, How have you been? If we will attend church together, I know that we can live happily again. Shall we try?" To my surprise, she did not mention my past bad life, but she felt mercy for me. I, who had eagerly waited for her contact, was very happy and moved out to Puchon City where she was living. When I went to her, she looked so happy and joyful. Her smile did not leave her while we were talking, and every word spoken and every action that she showed me that day gave me comfort and refreshment. In October 1998, I was guided to Manmin Joong-ang Church and registered. When I listened to the messages of Rev. Dr. Lee, every word of the messages he preached every Sunday seemed to be for me. "How wicked I have been!" I used to indulge in liquor because I had no pleasure in this life, but the loving God came to me. I was so grateful for His grace that my tears did not stop and I did my best to abstain from drinking. When I thought about drinking, I felt pain in the stomach and still sometimes I drank because I could not overcome its temptation. But drinking always caused troubles like vomiting, and through this process I finally succeeded in totally abstaining from drinking. Changed by the Word of life My wife and I experienced God's blessing and guidance moment by moment, and our 24-hour life was happiness itself. I had a business in vegetables for 10 years. As I went to my place of business very early in the morning to get better vegetables, and when I came back home at night, I did not stop singing praises to God, "Everything in my life has changed. ~? New life was given since I was born again. ~?" I tried my best in everything to be faithful to small things to repay the grace God the Father had given me, so I was entrusted with many God-given duties such as group leader, vice-leader of 2-3rd Men's Miission and 2nd Men's United Mission, cell leader, and member of Volunteers Brigade. In my group were various people who were divorced or separated, or went bankrupt in business. I extended charity to them with rice and vegetables, and encouraged jobless people among them to work at my business center. My group members were refreshed in spirit and many of them came to gain good jobs. I was so happy with their employment and prosperity, and God rewarded me with the prize of the first-ranking group leader for two continuous years. Overflowing blessing in my home and business My wife and I willingly and joyfully gave mission offerings to Rev. Dr. Lee whenever he has traveled throughout the world for overseas crusades. Each time God opened new marketing places for my business or let gains of sales increase more than expected. When I purchased many articles from wholesale merchants, I prayed to God that He would help me choose cheaper and better ones, and so I could supply my clients with better and cheaper articles. As a result, more and more clients gathered at my shop. In the early March, I came to Rev. Dr. Lee to ask him to pray for a problem in the contract with a client. He prayed that God would work for the good in everything of my business. Ten days after his prayer, God gave me His answer. At first, I tried to have a contract with a client by a daily gain of five million Won (5,000 US Dollars). It failed but instead I made a contract with another client by a daily gain of seven million Won (7,000 US Dollars). My friends and neighbors who remember my past life are surprised at my change, and praise me for my renewal at a church. I give all glory and thanks to the living God and I give real thanks to Rev. Dr. Lee who has led me to the word of life. Deacon Jung and his wife offered floral decorations to the altar

32-God healed me at the sight of my goodness !

God healed me at the sight of my goodness !

Deaconess Takagi Masuko (Age: 61, Ida Manmin Church) On the 22nd of the last February, my car was waiting for the next signal at a crossway. Suddenly a car from behind my car crashed into my car's bumper because that driver was sleepy. It caused a shocking jolt and damaged my head and neck. My face began to swell up as if it were a symptom of a concussion of the brain. The driver was very surprised and jumped out of his car. "I'm sorry, very sorry. I will take you to the hospital" he said with great embarrassment. To me he looked miserable, and an idea of Rev. Dr. Lee's testimony suddenly came to me. A few months after Dr. Lee accepted Jesus Christ, he was run over by a car and did not request any compensation from the driver of the car. Rather, he tried to comfort the driver with goodness of heart, and immediately God recovered health to Rev. Dr. Lee. I said, "I believe in the almighty God. No problem. I don't have to go to the hospital. Tomorrow, a handkerchief meeting will take place at Ida Manmin Church. If I go there and receive the handkerchief prayer, I will be healed. Don't worry." Because I was given the faith by which I would be healed through the handkerchief Rev. Dr. Lee had prayed on, my heart was peaceful and tried to comfort the driver although the pain in my back and neck was serious. My heart was so easy that I asked the driver to attend the handkerchief meeting together with me. The driver was so embarrassed because of the sudden accident and because I, an injured woman, tried to comfort him. He carefully listened to my earnest evangelism and answered, "It seems difficult for me to attend the meeting tomorrow because of my business, but I will surely attend the next meeting." The next day, on the 23rd of February, I participated in the handkerchief meeting conducted by Rev. Seungkil Ryu ministering Ida Manmin Church. When I received the handkerchief prayer with faith, all pains and swelling disappeared and I was completely healed. Later I gave my healing testimony to the driver and he said that he would attend the next handkerchief meeting with his friend in the hospital. I give all thanks and glory to God the Father who has let me experience His love and power through my good heart and faith. "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

31-My loving Father saved me from melancholia/depression and suicidal death urges

My loving Father saved me from melancholia/depression and suicidal death urges

Deaconess Keunok Park (Age:37, Choonchun Manmin Church) In 2003, I had abundant possessions including a high quality of home, shopping buildings, two cars, and stock dividend from a motel. I lived a rich life. I had fellowship with wealthy wives of the "Fifties" living in Choonchun city, and my life was lavish. I considered money as the most valuable thing and became so arrogant that I came to avoid the poor. Melancholia and the urge of suicidal death However, from February of 2004 on, the economic condition went into depression and I could not get back the money I had lent before. Until then I had joined a few credit unions, and had to deposit some amount of money into those unions. I began to borrow money from the people around me and the principal and interest on the loans started to increase like falling snow. As a result, I could not sleep enough, and suffered from nightmares when I did sleep, thinking, 'Into which credit union shall I put the money tomorrow? What amount is it?' From June of 2004, I slept less than two hours at a time. In July and August, I lost so much weight and became very skinny. During the summer time my nerves grew so sensitive that I had not bathed myself for more than ten days and not brushed my teeth for more than seven days. The symptoms of deep depression began to appear. My husband took me to the hospital and the doctor advised me to be admitted to the hospital immediately. Afterwards I took medicine every day but my mind became dreary and I felt the urge to commit suicide because I felt so helpless to everybody. 'Why am I a mentally deranged woman?' One day at the sunset, I tried to hang myself with a baby diaper. But I stepped down on the top of a chair and my suicide attempt failed. After that I tried to commit suicide once more. Finally I was sent to a metal hospital. My body deteriorated to the point in which I could not walk properly. My condition was too serious to stay in the mental hospital, so I left there. But many people gossiped about my admission to the mental hospital. I could not attend my church anymore, a small church near at my house. I lived each day only by the medications that I took. Guided to Manmin Church by my sister-in-law In the December of 2004, my sister-in-law, Deaconess Minja Jung, who was attending Changwon Manmin Church, came to Choonchun to participate in the my uncle's funeral and told me about Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and about his church, the Manmin Joong-ang Church and the powerful works happening there. Before then I used to neglect her. I ridiculed her by saying she was too wrapped up in her church. But because I had suffered from depression for so many months, my emotions were stimulated. I listened when she talked about miracles such as the blind come to see, the mute to speak, the lame to walk, and all kinds of diseases including cancers and mental diseases are cured. I thought the only thing I had to rely on was the power of Rev. Dr. Lee and promised to her I would attend Choonchun Manmin Church. Afterwards I was guided to Choonchun Manmin Church by the help of Deaconess Jungja Park. I went with my body unwashed for ten days and in black sport clothes. After the service I consulted with Rev. Dongheon Kim and my heart began to be opened. That week I attended the Wednesday service with my children and registered at Manmin Church. I was told that the New Year's Service would be held two weeks later, and I deeply felt that I wanted to be healed from the depths of my heart and to live a happy life with my family again. I restored happiness after healed of melancholia On the day of New Year's Service I came to Manmin Joong-ang Church in Seoul and asked Rev. Dr. Lee to pray for healing and gave him some offering that I had prepared. He cried, 'Depression, go away! Light, come upon her!" When he prayed for me earnestly, I felt his deep and ardent love and my heart was moved. While he was praying, I was reminded of some sins including my past prejudice against Manmin Joong-ang Church, about the wrong reports of MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Center), and my arrogant life with money. I repented of those sins with tears. When I turned my body after his prayer, I felt a cool wind blowing into my nose. During the New Year's Service I was very touched by the message, worship dances and praises. "What a wonderful and unexpected life it is!" Since I came back to Choonchun City, monthly period resumed and I was healed of insomnia (sleeplessness). I came to sleep comfortably and my face looked reddish and smiles were restored. Listening to the audio sermon tapes of Rev. Dr. Lee "The Message of the Cross" and "Goodness" all the symptoms of melancholia disappeared and I began a healthy life. Hallelujah! My family and my husband's family confessed God made me alive again and registered at Choonchun Manmin Church. I have let my house for sale from 2003 to pay back my debt of the amount of 200 million Won (200 thousand US Dollars), for which I received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer when he prayed for the healing of my melancholia on the day of New Year's service. About four months later, on March 31, an old man and his wife came to me and we contracted for the house by 235 million Won (235 thousand dollars). I give all thanks and glory to God who has led me out of the worldly way leading to death and to the altar of life! Thank Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melancholia/Depression is a serious society problem These days a famous Korean actress committed suicide because of melancholia and many Koreans including housewives, college girl students, horse-riders, and nurses imitated her. Real actions need to be taken. Melancholia used to be a minor disease tens of years ago, but today WHO (World Health Organization) regards it as one of the ten worst diseases of the 21st century. The Korean statistics says 3.2 million people, 8 % of the whole population suffered from melancholia last year. Now melancholia is an epidemic disease. Let us introduce a few examples of those who have escaped from the suffering of melancholia and restored happy lives. Deaconess Ranok Cho has suffered from melancholia and sleeplessness from five years ago, and tried to commit suicide a few times. But when she attended the Divine Healing Meeting at the Friday All-night service in July 2004, she repented of her sins with tears and was completely healed through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee. Now she is living a happy life. Deacon Sesup Shim felt the urge to kill himself a few times in a state of depression and insomnia due to the stock market failure. While hearing the message of Rev. Dr. Lee, he suddenly felt his shoulders unfolding and his body pulled back. After that his body became hot and was completely healed of melancholia and bad digestion. Deacon Kichul Park suffered from severe mental pressures due to excessive debts of 170 million Won (170 thousand US Dollars) from credit card loans, bank loans and personal debts from starting a business. He even tried to kill himself. But reading Rev. Dr. Lee's testimonial memoirs "Tasting Eternal Life before Death" he received the Holy Spirit and his heart became filled with the hope for heaven. In addition, it was not long before he was blessed in both good health and in finances.

30-I regained my life after my soul saw Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee

I regained my life after my soul saw Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee

Rev. Elisha Kehenze (Kenya Kitale Manmin Church, 51) I live in a village far away, 30 kilometers or a 10 hours' bus ride from Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. I was condemned to death due to severe fever In February 2004, I served an elementary school as its principal and was a pastor ministering a Pentecostal church. One day I received a calendar as a present from a kinsman living in Nairobi. In that calendar are the photos of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, who had conducted the 2001 Kenya Holy Gospel Crusade, and Rev. Myongho Cheong, who serves Nairobi Manmin Church. Until that time, I had not known either of them because I belonged to a different denomination and I had not met them. In June 2004, something went wrong with my liver and I suffered from vomiting and fever. I went to Kitale Hospital and had my lungs and liver examined, but no exact reason was revealed. I could not eat any food, nor could I sleep because of the pains all over my body. I lost 25 kilograms of weight in 5 weeks. Doctors told my family to prepare for my funeral. In anguish and with tears I prayed to the Lord to receive my spirit and was preparing for the last moment. My spirit saw Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee In July 7 2004, my spirit came out of my body and saw my body lying down on the floor. There, six messengers of hell were waiting to take my soul to hell. They were about to take me, saying, "We will take you where we live." At that moment, a large light shone in and a number of angels appeared. Among them, I found two persons – Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and Rev. Myongho Cheong whom I had seen in that calendar. Rev. Dr. Lee was encircled with big and brilliant lights and beside him was Rev. Myongho Cheong. The angels drove out the evil spirits, and Rev. Myongho Cheong told me, "Kehenze, go preach the gospel." A few moments later the two persons and angels disappeared and my spirit came back into the body. I affiliated my church to Manmin after revival When I woke up, my whole body was full of sweat and fever and all the pains including liver disease had already disappeared. Afterwards, I was able to eat any food and drink as I wanted, and regained 30 kilograms because any of the food I ate was changed into blood and flesh. When I was brought back to life, my wife was the most joyous. After the healing, I came to Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church, and then I affiliated my church to Manmin. Rev. Myongho Cheong was pleased and prayed for me, and my excitement and joy was so great. From that time on, I have testified to my healing and experience and publicized Manmin church to whomever I have known. Many pastors and churches in Kitale area who have known me have been touched by the works of God manifested through Rev. Dr. Lee and longed to be affiliates to Manmin. In the last February, with our invitation, Rev. Myongho Cheong conducted a pastors' conference and about 200 pastors and church servants attended it. He delivered the messages about depths of the spiritual realm we had not heard, and many pastors were moved. Now they are preparing for another conference in the coming April.

29-Tumors are no more seen!

Tumors are no more seen!

Deaconess Sunhee Hwang (3-12th Parish, Women Mission) A few months ago, I sometimes had a discharge of blood, but at first I neglected it. Afterwards bleeding worsened and I went for an evaluation last January 25th. I was diagnosed with the prodromal stage of cervical cancer. Despite the result of the hospital, my heart was comfortable. That was because I had witnessed countless people healed of various diseases including cancers by the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and I believed in God. I guessed that there was a spiritual cause for my disease, and began to look back at my past life in prayer. I realized that I had not been in peace with others while doing works of God, and not obeyed God by trying to choose just what was acceptable to me, and repented of them. Last February 9, I went to Rev. Dr. Lee to greet him on Lunar New Year's Day. After we greeted him, he spoke the words of blessing and then prayed for many church members there. He prayed emphatically for the healing of cancers, and the idea hit upon me that he was praying for me and I would be healed that day. During the prayer time, I felt something hot running down on my back. After the prayer he announced that those who were healed that day testify to their healings, and shook hands with all of the people in attendance. I shook hands with him after I wrote on my right palm "I want to be healed of the prodromal stage of cervical cancer." My heart was filled with faith and joy, and to my surprise bleeding stopped from that day on. I was certain of God's healing and tried my best to bear fruits of repentance with obedience and peace with others. On February 17, with a smile, I went to my doctor to be reexamined. The doctor asked me why, as a patient, I was smiling. Ten days later I received the result of reexamination, which said, "No tumor is seen anymore! Completely healed!" How thankful and joyful! I give all the glory and thanks to God who healed me wit His power of creation, and give thanks to Rev. Dr. Lee. 1. Before the prayer - Diagnosed with prodromal stage of cervical cancer 2. After the prayer - No symptom of prodromal stage of cervical cancer

A small piece from an acrylic board that had been in my arm for 15 years popped out !

Bro. Sukchul Park (1-3rd Parish, Mission for the Deaf) 15 years ago, I worked at a bulb-manufacturing factory in Pusan. One day while working there, I had a sliver from an acrylic board split off from a bulb and pierced my right shoulder. I shed a lot of blood. Immediately I was sent to a hospital and I received an operation to remove the piece of acrylic from my shoulder. From then on I often had pain in my right arm. I had been anxious about the pain all the time, but I thought it just an after-effect from the operation. In August 2003, I started attending Manmin Joong-ang Church. At the following year's revival meeting, I saw Sis. Nancho Chun healed of her deafness and recover her hearing by the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. It gave me good faith. A few months later I experienced an unusual miracle. Last autumn, the pain in my right arm increased suddenly and my arm became swollen, so that I could not continue working. Someone told me that it would be healed if I put Muan sweet water on it. I obeyed at that very moment and put the Muan water on the most painful part of my arm. Then, that part began to fester and a month later when seepage oozed out I found a strange object in it. It was an acrylic sliver about 2.1 centimeters (0.82 inch) that had left behind in my shoulder during the operation 15 years ago. I give thanks to God the Father who let me find the piece of acrylic that had remained in my arm for 15 years and removed it in His way.

26-I gained the first place in my college after I had my study keep pace with my prayer and service

I gained the first place in my college after I had my study keep pace with my prayer and service

Bro. Jihoon Choi (Sophomore of Soongsil University, College Mission) I am now a sophomore majoring in Industrial Information and System Engineering at the Soongsil University. Since my entrance, I have studied hard to glorify God, and I received the highest ranking recognition in my department. When I talked about it to my senior pastor, he was pleased and prayed for something unexpected. He prayed to God, "Let him the highest ranking among all the students of his college and be glorified through him. Light, come on him." I was first surprised at his words of "the highest rank of my college" but I received his prayer with "Amen" and began to study harder than ever before, keeping my faith and prayer abreast of my study. I prayed every night to God with joy and thanksgiving and filled with the Holy Spirit. I studied hard and had a clear mind in my classes although I might not have slept enough the night before because of my studies. Meanwhile I prayed thinking how I could please God. In my church, a special play for the 22nd church anniversary and Christmas play were performed and I was put in charge of the play properties. Serving the church that way, I studied hard all the more. On January 24, I got the final credit report of the second semester of my freshman year. The result was that I received all A+ in eight subjects, 4.5 points, one hundred percent! I received the highest ranking in my college and in my university. I became certain that I could keep my study abreast of my faith if I am able to be given the wisdom and strength from God.

25-[Mission Letter] A letter from Chennai Manmin Church in India

[Mission Letter] A letter from Chennai Manmin Church in India

I send my greetings in the name of the precious Lord from Chennai, India. 1. The staring service of Chennai Manmin Church 2. The removal of Hindu temples by the urgent ordinance of the high court (The Hindu Newspaper, February 19th, 2005) Three months after the founding of Chennai Manmin Church, it feeds church members with the word of life like other branch churches in Korea and is laying a firm foundation as a native and local church. Many pastors who had attended the 2002 India Miracle Healing Prayer Festival and had known our senior pastor Rev. Dr. Lee sometimes participated in the services of Chennai Manmin Church and invited me to deliver the message at their own churches. As a result of last year's election for the House of Representatives, DMK (National Democratic Alliance) party, which sides with Christianity, became a majority party in Tamil Nadu state, and Hinduism, more than 90 % of the religion in India, has fallen gradually. Last year two major Hindu leaders gave many Hindus a big shock because of their scandal in Hindu temples, and a few weeks ago more than 356 illegal Hindu temples in the city of Madurai, Tamil Nadu were forcefully cleared away according to the urgent decision of the high court. The preparation of the 2nd International Christian Medical Conference that will be held in Taj Hotel in Chennai, India in May under the main title "Spirituality and Medicine" has been fine and it is expected that more than 500 medical doctors, nurses, and medical college students from 30 overseas countries will join. In the session of divine healing, various cases of diseases healed by the power of God through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee will be announced along with the medical data confirmed by medical doctors. We are praying for the successful conference and its effective impact on India. Sincerely Yours Pastor Joseph Han and Pastor Sanghui Kim in Chennai India

24-Meeting God who healed my rotten leg, I came to dream of a spiritual Gospel singer

Meeting God who healed my rotten leg, I came to dream of a spiritual Gospel singer

Bro. Sol Jin (3-12th parish, 1sts College Mission) Healed of the rotten leg In the late February of 2003, inflammation started on my right leg and my right foot became so swollen that my shoe came near bursting into pieces. The inflamed part was followed by a hole the size of a fist. So, I could not walk properly and had to walk with crutches. The result of medical examination said that the skin and connective tissues inside the skin had been inflamed, and I would have my right leg amputated without fast medical treatment. I did not know why it had happened to me. Until now I had seen many people healed of various diseases and infirmities through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee, and with that kind of faith I left the hospital. A few days after I was discharged from the hospital, I attended to the 28-day Special Prayer Meeting and tried to seek for the cause of my disease. An idea hit upon me that I had seen what I should not see on the Internet and gone where I should not go. I realized how meaningless and wrong those things are and repented of having followed the worldly pleasures in curiosity. This way I demolished barriers of sin between God and me and received the prayer from Rev. Dr. Lee. The pain on my leg disappeared on the spot and after two hours, blackish red blood gushed out of there. Day by day new flesh came out of the festered part and finally came to walk. Determined to repay God's grace with praises Since I experienced the power of God, I had prayed fervently to repay God's grace. In the summer of 2003, I met a professor through a sister in Christ and he let me know my hidden music capacity. "I will glorify God with singing praise!" It was never easy for me, a beginner of music, to study vocal music when one and a half years remained till the entrance examination to college, but I tried my best to prepare for the exam with a firm resolve to repay the grace of God and love of the senior pastor. During the year of my senior grade in the high school, I had to show the faith in God's sight preparing the entrance exam. Because I started studying vocal music late than others, my personal teacher advised me to take lesson on Sunday. He explained to me that he could concentrate his ability on me because his schedule was the most unoccupied and his healthy condition was the best on Sunday. I refused to take lesson on Sunday because I wanted to attend worship service and keep the Lord's Day holy. Instead, I spent all my might and energy on practicing during the weekdays. A month before entrance exam, the 22nd church anniversary festival was held and I joined in preparing for the festival in charge of the play properties to please God. God was pleased with it and gave me much more strength and capacity that enabled me to study till the late morning. As a result, I gained a satisfactory exam points on the entrance exam, and experienced God's grace and help in the practical examination. I sent applications to two Colleges of Music at Kyunghee University and Yonsei University, and received the prayer from my senior pastor Rev. Dr. Lee. At the practical examination of Kyunghee University, participants had to sing one selection from No. 20 through No. 40 of Concene. Many participants made errors or mistakes on that practical exam although they had practiced enough. Some participants practice until just five minutes before the exam. I prayed to God and said to my personal music teacher, "I will practice the page you will unfold now." No. 28 was opened and I practiced the difficult parts in it. When my turn, I drew my lot for the practical list selections and it was "No. 28." I really felt the help of God and gained courage. I was able to pass the practical exam very easily. Last January 13th, at the first practical examination of Yonsei University, I had to sing an unfamiliar song "Chor bungen." I prayed to God and by the help of God I sang it in the fullness. I received good points. That day before the final practical examination of Yonsei University I should have slept for more than 8 hours for the best condition. But, I attended the Friday All-night service and after a short sleep, I went to the University for my practical examination. The concert hall is able to accommodate over one thousand people. During the practical exam I sat with the handkerchief on which Rev. Dr. Lee had prayed on my chest. But mistakenly my breath was wrong at the part I had been good at, yet God empowered me to continue singing that song courageously to the end. I passed the College of Music of Yonsei University! In January 20, at the news that the announcement of Yonsei University was advanced by a day, I ascertained my success on the Internet. "Congratulations! SIB10120 Jin Sol." I was very joyful and gave thanks to God on the spot. Later I heard that most of 15 participants who passed the exam had tried twice or three times. Really it is due to the grace of God that I passed. On January 24, I was received the success information from Kyunghee University, but I was already determined to go to Yonsei University. I asked my senior pastor to pray that I might be put under a good guidance professor who would guide and help me for the following four years. "Father, control the hearts of examiners." God blessed me to be under the guidance of the chief professor of the vocal music department and a senior professor who has produced great vocal singers. I give thanks to the grace of God who has opened the way in which I would glorify Him through singing praises. And I give thanks to my senior pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee who prayed for me with all his sincerity. Bro. Jin's happy family in God's love

23-My mother was healed of her breast cancer through the prayer broadcast live on the Internet! I was also able to meet God through her healing testimony

My mother was healed of her breast cancer through the prayer broadcast live on the Internet! I was also able to meet God through her healing testimony

My mother had suffered from breast cancer after her husband's death In 1980, I was born of a gentle father, a prosecutorial official and a warm and tender mother and raised like a princess by their loving care. Meantime, in 1991, a shadow of darkness came across my home. My father, who used to be healthy, was stricken with leukemia, one of the incurable diseases. Mother used as many different methods to heal him as she was able; she even relied on fortunetellers and hung various charms here and there in the house, but everything was in vain. In November 1994, my father, who was the hope and anchor of my family, died. Mother fell into great sorrow and loneliness. She began to become addicted to alcohol. She became worse after I moved to another city to enter high school. A few years later, when I returned home in July 1999, mother told me that her breast cancer had been healed by the power of God. She had concealed her illness for a long time for fear her children should be hindered from studying. Deaconess Jung-ok Kim Handkerchief Meeting and the broadcast of the revival through the Internet After the death of my father, mother drank heavily for a few years and was careless about her eating. As a result, a high fever occurred and she had to receive blood-injection every five minutes. She had major difficulty relieving herself because of chronic abdominal dropsy, and she felt pains throughout her body. In 1998, she went to the Yanbian Tumor Hospital to be examined. To her great surprise, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was found to be stricken with various diseases including hypertension, a heart problem, cholecystitis, duodenual ulcers, and arthritis. Doctors said shed needed surgery. She would not because she had seen many die even after operations and the cost of the operation was too expensive. Meanwhile, a friend of hers came to her and suggested that she attend a divine healing meeting a Korean missionary would conduct. She went there by taxi with the aid of her friend, and there witnessed various diseases including stroke and osteoporosis healed by the prayer of the handkerchief Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed on (Acts 19:11-12). When she saw those who had suffered from those diseases were healed and walked, she became assured of her healing by the prayer. In May 1999, with faith, she attended the 7th Two-week Special Revival Meeting of Manmin Joong-ang Church through the Internet. Her body recovered good health after receiving the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock lee During the Revival, the speaker Rev. Dr. Lee prayed for the sick after preaching each session, calling all the names of diseases listed one by one. My mother was moved by that kind of tender love of the speaker, and began to repent of her past sins with tears. When she repented of all her sins of having not believed in God, enjoined the world, and worshiped idols, the fire of the Holy Spirit burned her body and her whole body became hot. Afterwards she excreted black urine and felt relieved of every pain. Fifteen days after she attended church and repented of all the past sins with all her sincerity, she was completely healed of all her diseases including the breast cancer, hypertension, heart problem, cholecystitis, duodenual ulcer, and arthritis. Even the abdominal dropsy disappeared and she recovered. Hallelujah! Through her testimony I met the almighty God! My mother's healing testimony was so amazing to me that I came to go to church as well. At that time, I was stricken by hyperthyroidism because of poor nutrition. I suffered from many symptoms such as swelling of the neck, weight loss, and irregular pulse. However, when I received the prayer of the handkerchief Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed on, a marvelous thing occurred to me. My swollen neck became normal and every symptom was gone. Hallelujah! Since my middle school days, I had suffered from the pains of tympanitis – bloody seepage came out of both ears and I felt as if my ears were cut off. I received three operations, but all the efforts were in vain. In May 2004, I attended the 12th Two-week Special Revival Meeting via the Internet. When Rev. Dr. Lee prayed for the sick, I received his prayer by faith with my hands on my ears. Suddenly my ears became hot. I washed my hands in cold water and touched the ears to reexamine the heat of ears. The level of heat remained but I felt no pain in my ears at all. I want to become a good evangelist to enlarge the kingdom of God I gave my healing testimony to my friends who had known about my tympanitis. Most of them were surprised, saying, "It is very marvelous," and began to attend church one after another. With the deep gratitude for the grace and love of God who healed my family and saved us, I have tried my best to expand His kingdom. I give all thanks and glory to the living God, and thank Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee who prayed for us in love.

22-Dear Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Joong-ang Church

Dear Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Joong-ang Church

Rosa Graciela Yanarico Huanka, President of Peru's majority party "La Posible" I give thanks to you for holding the 2004 Miracle Healing Crusade and giving your real love to us, Peruvians. Through this letter I send my sincere regards and special thanks to you for giving the favor and grace to the wretched and poor Peruvians living in a high land of Puno, Peru, last December. Puno is one of the poorest places in Peru and most of the population therein is native Indians and peasants. The favor and charity you gave them last December was necessary for them. Again I give deep thanks to you for presenting children with many toys. Puno's children were very pleased with presents
