Fw: 263-My Family Has Restored Peace and Joy by the Power of God!

My Family Has Restored Peace and Joy by the Power of God!


Sister Jang (China)

I was a soccer player. In the end of 2003, during the winter practice I had my knee ruptured and couldn't bend the knee.
I received medical treatments at the rehabilitation hospital, but later my knee was ruptured once again. Finally I was diagnosed with chronic rupture of knee joints. I received all kinds of treatments in vain, including Chinese herbal medicines, surgical treatment and electrotherapy.
The X-ray pictures taken in April of 2004 showed two small bones were protruded out at the knee joint. The doctor said it was impossible to recover because the two protrusions came from the knee joint, and also warned me that I might have to rely on a wheelchair in the worst condition.
This unbelievable problem happened to me when I was 17 years old, so I was so shocked. To make matters worse, I was stricken with chronic dermatitis named 'psoriasis.' Two months after dermatitis occurred to me, my whole body, except for the face, was covered with red spots and looked ugly. I relied on various medications in vain. My mother who had first come to believe advised me to quit taking medicines but instead to pray to God. One day a missionary commissioned by Manmin Central Church called me and told me the same word that my mother had said to me. And then the missionary prayed for me on the phone and I became assured that I would be healed.
I sprayed Muan sweet water onto my whole body and prayed. Two days later a miracle happened to me. All symptoms of psoriasis were gone and my skin was recovered to normal. A few days later the missionary visited me and prayed for me with the handkerchief Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed on (Acts 19:11-12). Soon the protruded bones were healed and everything was restored.
The thing that is counted as unbelievable within human thought took place as a reality. As a result, many relatives came to believe in God.
In the end of 2009, my sister suffered severe dermatitis on her neck. At first we considered it as a kind of light skin trouble, but as time went by, severe symptoms of suppuration began to appear. She suffered severe itchiness and couldn't sleep properly. While sleeping, she scratched the itchy parts and pus and blood oozed out. Her pillow often became stained with blood and pus. So, she went to bed with her hands bound with a cord.
The suppuration worsened, and small and red abscess began to develop on the face, back, hands and the neck. With the passage of time, abscess became bigger and festered, and pus oozed out. This infected all the parts of her body that pus touched. She went to a skin disease clinic for the exact evaluation, but the doctors couldn't discover the exact cause and disease name and warned my sister that her skin disease would cover her whole body and threat her life without receiving quick medications. But our family had no worry but relied on God and prayed in agreement.
And we sent our prayer request to Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Central Church and received his prayer transcending time and space. What an amazing thing it was! After he prayed, purulent inflammation and red spots disappeared and she was completely healed. Hallelujah!

Through Dr. Jaerock Lee's time-and-space-transcending prayer my sister was completely of her skin disease!

Fw: 262-My Faith Was Renewed and I Was Healed of Herniated Spine

My Faith Was Renewed and I Was Healed of Herniated Spine


Sister Shirel
(The Way of Spirit Church, Almaty of Kazakhstan)

Sister Shirel and Korean trainees of MMTC (Manmin Missionary Training Center) visiting Kazakhstan

In 2003, I hurt my spine while skiing on a mountain, and I came to have difficulty in sitting and lying down on bed. X-ray pictures showed the fracture of the spine and herniated disc. I tried various medications for healing but in vain.
In 2008 Pastor Daniel Rozen gave me a CD "The Power of God" that deals with many manifestations of God's power through Dr. Jaerock Lee, and I was so touched by that and started studying at a seminary in Israel. In June of 2009, I attended an Israeli pastors' seminar led by Dr. Jaerock Lee and listened to the message on "The Measure of Faith."
When I received the prayer from Dr. Lee, something hot ran down through my body and I sweated on my back. After that all pain disappeared and regained eyesight. I came to see without the glasses.
I completed my one-year theological study in Israel and when I came back to Kazakhstan I took a few books authored by Dr. Jaerock Lee. I held "The Measure of Faith" seminar for church workers and many workers were touched.
Many church members began to read Dr. Lee's books and tried to live by the teachings given through his books. They came to experience changes in their lives and overflow with testimonies of healing and blessing.

Fw: 261-I Recovered My Hearing Ability through Muan Sweet Water!

I Recovered My Hearing Ability through Muan Sweet Water!


Paul Rogers (London Manmin Church, UK)

Paul Rogers (left) whose hearing ability has been restored

My family has a problem in hearing ability in heredity. My grandmother was a deaf and my father also lost the hearing in the left ear.
Because of this hereditary factor, at 3, my hearing ability severely decreased. Until 16 years old, I received 5 surgical treatments to recover hearing ability. As that result, I had no difficulty in everyday life though I couldn't listen perfectly like a normal person.
But in my late fifties, the hearing ability in the left ear began to decrease acutely, and I receive a surgical treatment to recover hearing ability again.
The doctor said with the passing of time the hearing ability in the left ear would be completely lost because of eardrum inflammation and scars left behind by the former surgeries. I was so surprised at her words that worries oppressed me. But it was fortunate that my right ear was ok.
Three years later the right ear's hearing also began to decrease and I went to the hospital. The doctor said I had a poor hearing due to hereditary factor and surgical treatment would make it possible to recover the hearing temporarily and to reduce the pain, but complete healing difficult because of chronic eardrum inflammation. So all I could do was to wear a hearing aid.
A few months ago my wife said to me, "Honey! Here is miracle water, Muan Sweet Water. I will wipe off your ear with this water," and wiped my ear off with cotton swab that was saturated with Muan Sweet Water. Next morning, a popped sound rang in my ear and I began to hear sound well.
I had heard sound dimly for decades of years, but now I could hear sound properly even without any hearing aid. It was a great amazement to me. A couple of days later I went to the hospital and the doctor was so surprised saying that the eardrum inflammation had been completely healed and hearing ability restored.
How happy I was that I had experienced the power of God through Dr. Jaerock Lee! I give all thanks and glory to our great God who restored my hearing through Muan Sweet Water.

Fw: 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.

Fw: 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.

Fw: 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."

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.

Fw: 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.
