Fw: 59-My daughter was healed of severe atopic dermatitis

My daughter was healed of severe atopic dermatitis

Deacon Hyungsun Kim (4-14th Parish, Tiamoh Beauty Shop) "Huh? What's this?" On the 13th of July, I found a blister on the my daughter, Yeji's legs and took her to the hospital for check-up. The doctor told me that she was infected with virus and severer than expected. He opened a medical book and showed me a picture of a little girl. Her whole body was covered with scabs except for two eyes. The doctor said that my daughter would suffer from the same symptoms that that girl in the picture had and there would be no medical treatment. He gave me a prescription so that her disease would not develop further, but he added that if she scratched her body, that prescription would be useless. That night she scratched her itching body and that blister turned and looked like a burned spot. She could not stand her itching, and my wife and I spent all that night on hindering Yeji from scratching her body. We eventually had to tie her arms with a cord. Seeing my daughter tied up like that caused me great pains and I wished that I were in her shoes and suffering on her behalf. At that time I was struck by an idea that a child's disease comes from his parents' faults. My wife and I began to repent of our sins. She repented that she had not loved God from her heart and not been active in following the shepherd of life, while I repented that I had not understood my wife and not been at peace with her. On the 15th of July, we took our daughter to Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee for her to receive his prayer. He said in prayer, "Let all itching symptoms disappear, and be glorified through this family!" With the passing of time, her face became bright and she stopped scratching. But the summer heat caused liquid to ooze from her blisters and scabs to fall off from the sores because of the continual liquids. As a result, she became so swollen that I could hardly dare to look at the swelling. Many people around us advised us to send her to the hospital and some others told us of folk remedies, but we never relied on worldly methods but committed everything to the almighty God. God was pleased with us because we had no mind to compromise with the world, and healed our daughter in a short time through Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer. On the 22nd of July, my daughter received his prayer once again. He asked God to drive away all the itchy symptoms from her and heal her as soon as possible. It was not long after he prayed that oozing liquid stopped and scabs were formed and then new skin were formed on the infected areas. On the 4th of August, we found that all the scabs were gone and she was completely healed 3 weeks after her diseases developed.

Fw: 58-A Letter from Overseas Missionaries - Extraordinary miracles are also happening in the Philippines!

A Letter from Overseas Missionaries - Extraordinary miracles are also happening in the Philippines!

My Dear Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, All of the brothers and sisters of Cavite Manmin Church and I are so happy. For a few months, 60 to 70 newcomers have registered at my church every month and there were no seats and no space for them because our church was fully crowded. That's why we cut down a big mango tree and built a new sanctuary that is 27 meters long and 17 meters wide. The handkerchief you prayed on is so powerful. Three weeks ago a 30-year-old man, Alex Reyers, was seized with demons. He often muttered and staggered on the street. His wife and family asked me to pray for him with the power handkerchief. I came to him and prayed for him with the handkerchief on his head. Five minutes later he became quiet and seemed to be in pain. When I put the handkerchief on his chest and prayed again, he seemed to try to vomit something, but it was in vain. A few moments later the demons left him, and he recovered and thanked me. After that 8 people including his wife registered at Cavite Manmin Church. Illuminatha Rala, a 48-year-old woman, had five sons but three of them had been in prison for years for robbery and drug addition. So, she came to me and asked me to pray for them to be set free. When she registered at my church, I prayed for them, and very surprisingly two of the three sons who had been imprisoned were set free. Also, through the handkerchief prayer her daughter-in-law was healed of 4-year bleeding. A month ago Melah, a 60-year-old woman, was brought in a wheelchair from Emus, which is a place one and half hours from here. I prayed for her with the handkerchief and that next Sunday she came here without her wheelchair. Now she is fine and walks very well. A young adult named Romeo, who was also from Emus, asked me to pray for his employment exam for Makatti Medical Center. It is the biggest and most famous center in the Philippines. He passed that exam and began to work there from the last week. Now, 25 or 30 people from Emus attend the service regularly every Sunday, so we will found a church for them there. We all give thanks to you for your steadfast love and prayer. And we are also thankful to all who have supported us with prayers, love and offerings. From Missionary Sharon Cho

Fw: 57-Father has given me overflowing blessing for my steadfast faith

Father has given me overflowing blessing for my steadfast faith

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. (Hebrews 11:1-2) Layman Missionary Nakhoon Seong (4-15th Parish, Patent Attorney) While preparing for an examination for officials After graduating from my university in 1986, I went to a mountain to prepare for a special examination, and there I read the Bible for the first time. On a spring day when azaleas blossomed all over the earth, I read the story of Jacob who took a stone and built up an altar, and my heart was touched. So, I picked up a bundle of azaleas and built them up for an altar. And I prayed imitating Jacob's prayer. In the late autumn I was reading the last page of the Book of Revelation and firmly determined to find out the evidences of the living God. That year I passed the examination and started my official work with a big dream as a secretariat at the Ministry of Government Administration. Feeling troubled in my first religious life I was transferred to the Korean Intellectual Property Office and lived a faithful Christian life there and once was elected as chairman of Office Christian Fellowship. As time had passed, competition became severer among us because of problems in the promotion to higher positions, and the study abroad that was sponsored by the government. Some of them tried to comfort themselves with drinking and some others were advanced by human relationships. I could not follow that way as a Christian. I only prayed to God. However, I failed in being promoted for three years and that repeated failure brought pains and frustrations on my heart. Attending the Friday All-night Service One day in 1998, I first attended the Friday All-night service of Manmin Joong-ang Church. Up until that time I had heard many messages and read many Christian books, but nothing had such a clear message of God as that of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. On the 3rd of July, 1998, I registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church and came to experience abundant evidences of the living God that I had searched for at a dormitory on a mountain more than 10 years earlier. In my twenties, I dreamed that I would receive a Ph. D. in patents at the University of Tokyo, and become the best professional of patent fields in Korea. After registering at Manmin Joong-ang Church, I was successful in everything and finally flew to Japan for study abroad. While studying in Japan, I eagerly wanted to preach the holiness gospel there as a layman missionary. A few months later an incident related to MBC happened to my church and my church suffered financial difficulties. I decided to become a financial missionary for my church and was commissioned as a missionary to Japan on September 19, 1999. Trying to support my church financially On July 21, 2000, I established a Nano semiconductor company in Korea to accomplish my dream. I recruited powerful doctorates who were from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), the University of Tokyo, and the University of Marx Crank. But, some of them mistook me for an improper person because of the incident of MBC. Finally, I gave up that company, and when I retired, I received 150,000,000 Won (USD $ 150,000). I offered that money to God wishing that it would be helpful to the finances of my church. The following year I was able to enter the doctoral degree program that I had been dreaming about at the University of Tokyo. Now, in a short period of time the way would be opening before me to become the best professional patent attorney who would be eligible for various influential titles in the field of patents, and without big competition. However, the desire of my heart was steadfast since I had determined to financially support my church, and it enabled me to cast away every longing for secular success. Until I finished my study, I concentrated on inventing something new, a "chesk", that is, the combination of a chair and desk. Through trials of blessing Two years later I finished my study and returned to Korea, and I met with trials for blessing. The company I had founded about 2 years before asked me to refund the 150,000,000 Won (USD $ 150,000), and I signed on the document that said that I would have to repay 10 million Won every month. After 18 months, my financial situation met with limitations and I resigned from my job. While I suffered that financial difficulty, my senior pastor supported me and I was able to continue to invent a "chesk." But it was not easy because I had no experience in it. In the end, all the capital was gone and I had to suffer severer trials. I wished to overcome all those trials with perseverance and faith like fathers of faith, even if I chanced losing everything. I wanted to become a precious vessel that possessed the faith of gold. From the September of 2003, I worked for the Jungmin Law Offices as a patent attorney. There I found the sinful mind and fleshly thoughts within me. I was continually refined for the faith in which I would not follow my way but God's way, the love and goodness in which I would understand the party and the unchanging gratefulness. Overflowing blessing On the New Year's Day Service of 2005, I strongly felt I would receive the blessing of God. In the April of 2005, I received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer for my new International Patents Technology Transfer Project. He prayed that my tithes would begin with 10 million Won (USD $ 10,000) and reach more than 100 million Won (USD $ 100,000) and that I would be able to give many brothers and sisters good chances for employment. I tried my best not to follow my own thought but to commit everything into the hands of God the Father. I considered my clients' businesses as my own and served them with all my sincerity. My income of the first month was 20 million Won (USD $ 20,000) and it was a sign of big blessing. All glory to God! The sales went up and the income increased greatly. In the May and June, it continued to grow up. I became confident of it and made publicity leaflets. During the next month, July, I netted a profit of 70 million Won (USD $ 70,000). When my sales went up to 200 million Won (USD $ 200,000), I formed a separate organization specializing in transferring good patent technology to India, China and USA. I named that organization "Hawk Team" and conducted a thank-you service hoping God would let it prosper. I believe all trials were God's disciplines for me to demolish every kind of thoughts and to commit everything into His hands. I give all thanks and glory to God the Father who has led me to overflowing blessing through trials. And I give thanks to Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee who has raised me with love and trust and let my soul get along well. With members of "Hawk Team"

Fw: 56-I studied for the glory of God, and I received a scholarship.

I studied for the glory of God, and I received a scholarship.

Sis Mikyoung Han (3rd College Mission, Dept. of Journalism and Mass Communications of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies) I have prayed to God how I would be able to glorify God with my study and wanted to be used for His kingdom. In 2004 I traveled to Australia and studied there for a year. When I saw many college students studying hard day and night for their future, I was challenged and determined to study harder to be used as a tool of God. When I applied for next subjects after I came back to Korea, I chose only courses that seemed to be difficult to study but helpful to my future. It seemed difficult for me to gain a good grade point. Just before I started the first semester of 2005, I received the news of the recurrence of my mother's disease and I had to take care of my home. I had two different part-time jobs, so I did not have enough time to study. But I was thankful and considered it as a good chance for my blessing. My younger sister Nakyoung Han is a freshman of Dept. Hotel Cooking of the Jangan College. When she entered there, I said to her, "This semester let's please our senior pastor and our mother, so that we can help our home financial situation. Let's get good grade points and scholarships to the glory of God." I was faithful to my God-given duties with wisdom and did my best to study at my school. In remembrance of Rev. Dr. Lee's sermon "Secrets to Successful Study" I prayed and studied. I have been neither absent from nor late for my class. I always sat on a seat in the frontal line at each class and actively and faithfully joined each class. At my part-time jobs, I tried to evangelize students and plant the word of God into them. God was pleased with my deeds and my sister's faith, and He gave us blessing. I received the best point of A+ in all the 9 subjects and won the first place in my department, my sister also got an A+ in 8 subjects out of 9 and received a scholarship that way we were able to receive all-expenses-paid scholarships in the next semester. Now how grateful I am to receive such wonderful blessings in my youth through the love of God, the grace of the Lord and the teaching of the shepherd! I will receive the wisdom from above and study harder so that I show an exemplary Christian life to the world.

Fw: 55-My son was dying due to an electronic fan, but was saved!

My son was dying due to an electronic fan, but was saved!

Deaconess Yangsook Seo (7-29th, 1-3rd Women's Mission) I dreamed a spiritual dream on the 29th of July, and in that dream Rev. Dr. Lee dropped in at my house. My daughter and I were so happy and drew near to him, while my son did not approach him but sat behind him. Rev. Dr. Lee looked at my son for a while and said in an urgent voice. "You must be careful of your body. Take care of your body. Be careful of your body!" I was surprised and woke up, and because that dream so strange I hurried to my son's room. I found that the fan had been blowing on him far too long and too strongly. The timer of the fan was broken. We found my son to be tightly curled up and his blanket had fallen from the bed to the floor. I shook him but he was unconscious and would not come out of it and his body was frozen. Even in that situation, I was certain that nothing was wrong with him because Rev. Dr. Lee let me know it in my dream. I put the handkerchief on which Rev. Dr. Lee had prayed on my son and prayed with the assurance and confidence. It was not long before his consciousness and temperature were recovered. (Acts 19:11-12)

Fw: 54-I was no better than a beast due to alcoholism, but God met me!

I was no better than a beast due to alcoholism, but God met me!

Myoungkeun Shin (5-19th, 3-2nd Men's Mission) My father died when I was a child, and I was seized by a thought that I would have to make as much money as I could and in the early 1979 I flew to Saudi Arabia as a welder. Returning from Saudi Arabia I was so faithful in my work that I won the award from the Minister of Commerce, Employment & Trade, and enough pay that was some comfort to me while working in a foreign country. One day I had my spine severely damaged and had to return to Korea in September that same year. When I came back, I was greatly shocked to find all the money I had deposited from Saudi Arabia spent. My elder sister ran a money-lending business and lost not only all the money I had deposited but also everything from my brothers and other family members. Finally, she committed suicide. I was greatly shocked and made speechless. Because of my herniated spinal condition, I could not work. I drank in tears every day. "I could I have earned all that money and it is no more? Now what shall I do?" To make matter worse, in 1998, I had a traffic accident and was diagnosed with the third degree (moderately severe) disability. From that time on, I became more pessimistic day by day and at last I became an alcoholic. Every time I drank, I broke things in the house and even struck my wife. Trying to kill myself Whenever I drank, I behaved in a very disorderly manner in my village and teased many people. They accused me and I was taken away by the police. When taken by the police, I had beaten a policeman and made a mess of things. So, many times I tried to kill myself to put that wretched and tough life to an end, but in vain. I had to live such a meaningless life. One day in June I was on a chair changing a light bulb and suddenly slipped and fell down to the ground. I had three ribs ruptured. I was in the hospital for a closer examination, but there I discovered the light. In the March of 2005, I was on the way to my home to Kwangju in Kyongkido. That day I was drunk as usual and got on a city bus. The driver kindly spoke to me, "Have you been drinking?" And he said to me, "Could you visit Manmin Joong-ang Church in Kuro-dong?" Before then I hurled curse words at those who tried to evangelize me, but that day unexpectedly I answered, "Yes. Fine, I will come." It was a strange thing to me. That bus driver was Deacon Taesang Cho. Following the light and being guided to Manmin Joong-ang Church On April 17th, I remembered that promise and to keep the promise, I picked up a syringe and left the hospital. When I arrived at that church, I felt familiar and comfortable with it. Through the Message of the Cross preached every Sunday morning by Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, I became certain of the existence of heaven and hell and of God's love for all men. I realized that my past life was meaningless. When Rev. Dr. Lee said, "When we have realized we are late, if we start, we can make up time by moving faster," I thought he was speaking to me. After that afternoon service, when I met my parish pastor Rev. Hakyoung Lim, he asked me, "Have you ever seen circular rainbows? Look up at the sky." It was my first time that I have ever seen such a wonderful circular rainbow. It was so beautiful! A few members of my parish including sub-district leader Deacon Kyoungnam Park advised me to visit Rev. Dr. Lee and receive his prayer. They explained to me that anybody could be healed of any kind of disease if he would just receive his prayer with faith. After receiving Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer I didn't completely believe what they said, but followed them anyway. At the parking lot of the church many people stood waiting for their turn to shake hands with him. It was touching to me that they gave their testimonies of healing and blessing to him with such smiles. At last it was my turn. He asked me if I had a problem and what it was. Then he prayed for me with his hand on my body. He said in prayer, "Father, heal him of alcoholism and pain in the ribs in the name of Jesus Christ." My body shrunk back during his prayer, yet I was greatly moved by his earnest prayer. How thankful it was that he prayed for me who had done so many evil things and was so valueless! I could not sleep that night because of the love of God, the Lord, Senior Pastor and many brothers and sisters. I became determined to attend the church faithfully. After that something very surprising happened to me. Until that time I had drunk 5 or 6 bottles of liquor a day, but I no longer had a desire to drink. Rather, I felt disgusted just at the smell of liquor and vomited. My wife was surprised and asked me why I did not drink anymore. I completely abstained from a 20-year addiction to drinking through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee. Healed of alcohol addiction and my family was filled with smiles After I was healed of alcohol addiction and began to live a Christian life, my parish members let me know of the detailed things of spirit and planted faith into my heart. And listening to Rev. Dr. Lee's messages, I apologized to my wife for my past sins and began to help her with running a restaurant - marketing, getting cooking ingredients, and delivering food. I changed into a gentle husband and evangelized my wife. I told her to work for 6 days and rest and go to church on the Day of the Lord. My wife was curious about the church where I was attending and changed. So, she followed me and eventually registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church on July12th. Now I work at a construction site because I have recovered good health, and I gave my monthly salary 1,800,000 Won ($1,757 USD) to her for the first time in 20 years. She was so touched that she bought me a car with the money she had deposited for a long time in savings, so that I could drive to my church every week. I am the happiest when I attend the church with my wife and hear the words of life. I give all thanks and glory to God the Father who changed a wretched family into a happy one and give real thanks to Rev. Dr. Lee who prayed for us with all his sincerity and fed us with the food of life.

Fw: 53-The faith coming from living by truth is the secret to happiness

The faith coming from living by truth is the secret to happiness

Deacon Jaekwon Ha (Chonju Manmin Branch Church, Representative of Tongpu Gas Station) "Father, my life is like a dream!" Each midnight, we finish a day and receive a new day. At that time I kneel down and give thanks in prayer, for the grace and love of God is so great to me. Though I enjoyed financial abundance after I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ After I finished my military service, I attended Manmin Joong-ang Church, but my mother died suddenly and I had to serve my father who was left alone in a rural area. I worked in the petroleum business until the May of 2000, and I started a gas station on the advice of my friend. I got a big loan and opened the station, but I could not buy gas at all because I did not have enough money. The only one I could rely on was God the Father. One day two gentle men dropped at my gas station, and I served them politely. One of them was manager of branch bank. He said to me, "Sir, call at my branch bank!" God moved his heart and I was able to get a special loan with his help and overcome my crisis. Many people came to my gas station to fill their cars with gas and I was very busy with my business because it was my first experience with it. That winter had gone and when next spring came, I paid off all my debts. I failed to pray and felt exhausted I moved my gas station into the Jungeup City and became busier. Because of a busy life, I could not attend the Manmin branch church but another church next to my house for about 3 years. Finally, I stopped praying and violated the holy Sabbath - In the morning I attended the service but in the afternoon I opened my station. I looked back at my past life and missed the words of life. The pastor ministering Chonju Manmin Church and its workers did not forget my family but steadfastly cared for us. The pastor advised us to attend the 12th Two-week Special Revival Meeting. I thought that was the last chance that would be given to me, and I knew that I should return back to the Lord. I firmly made up my mind to turn from strayed life, thoroughly change my life, and live a steadfast life in faith. Recovering the first love for the Lord at the Revival In May, 2005, as soon as I stepped in the sanctuary of Chonju Manmin Church to attend the 12th revival, tears welled up and fell from my eyes. I felt as if God the Father said to me, "Son, Good job!" and embraced me like the father welcoming the prodigal son. My hungry soul became content with the spiritual messages preached by Rev. Dr. Lee. I thoroughly repented of my past life with the firm determination to change. More thankfully, when I received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer through satellite TV on the first day of the revival meeting, I experienced miraculous healing and God's answer. I was healed of troubles in ears and my second son of severe atopic dermatitis. We met the living God again at the revival meeting and began to attend Chonju Manmin Church. From that time on my life turned brisk, my exhausted heart changed to become full of hope and happiness, and I finally recovered the first love for the Lord. Experiencing the power of God through Muan's sweet water I was interested in planting and taking care of trees, and one day I purchased pine trees at a lower price than ever due to the grace of God. Pine trees are easily subject to damages from insects, so they require spraying insecticides on a regular basis. But I did not spray insecticides but instead Muan sweet water on them. The pine trees were not harmed by any insects and grew up well. While treating the pine trees at my farm, I tuned up the volume of Rev. Dr. Lee's sermon tapes or graceful praises tapes so that the trees could hear them. I hope that when we build the Grand Sanctuary, I will be able to landscape and design around the Grand Sanctuary with my pine trees. God blessed my business, and my gas station kept prospering. At first, my family attended the church but I let my workers open the gas station on Sunday. It is not easy to close the gas station on Sundays. However, through Exodus 20:8-11, I learned that I was supposed to let my workers rest on the Sabbath day to keep it holy, and acted on it with faith. I first fasted three days and explained to my regular guests. And since last March, none of us, including my employees, worked on Sunday and I kept the Lord's Day holy. God the Almighty blessed us and our profits did not diminish. Many businessmen in the gas retailing business complained of the reduction in sales and diminished profit margins. But my gas station became prosperous, and gained many more clients. How thankful! Giving the offerings for the sanctuary construction These days I am very happy. I pick up many brothers and sisters living in the Jungeup City to attend Chonju Manmin Church on Sundays. Every time I feel thankful because I become the feet of those who long to hear the word of life of the Lord. I had a dream of dedicating the temple of God to Him. I accomplished that dream through Chonju Manmin Church and was so happy. My wife, three children and I vowed to give the special offerings for sanctuary construction so that we could expand and move out of Chonju Manmin church to another place. That week God gave us special blessing and we could give the offerings to the Father. "Our Father is faithful!" On the 12th of June, we celebrated the 11th anniversary of Chonju Manmin Church and conducted the entrance service at the new site. I am so grateful for dwelling in the love of God the Father and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through my senior pastor.

Fw: 52-I've been healed of the diabetes after receiving prayer from Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee.

I've been healed of the diabetes after receiving prayer from Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee.

Dr. Jacob Darma Raj, M.D. (Chairman, India's Reconstruction & Disaster Response Committee) I attended all four days of "The 2002 Miracle Healing Prayer Festival with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee" held at Marina Beach in Chennai, Tamil Nudu, India. During the session on the third day of the Festival - heavy rains accompanied by gusts began to fall. The speaker at the Festival, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, stood as firm as a rock in the heavy rain for more than an hour and testified to the Word and prayed for the sick. At first, people in attendance were busy looking for cover from the rain, but when they saw Pastor. Dr. Lee remained at the podium to the end, they remained in their place, too. This scene was broadcast live on television, and countless people of India who witnessed this scene were thoroughly impressed and moved by the faithfulness of Pastor. Dr. Lee, who in their mind should have brought the Festival to a halt but did not look after himself even in the heavy rain. On the following and the last day of the Festival, at least a million people gathered to hear Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. On that last day of the Festival, I was standing on the left side of the podium - closer to the shoreline - and for a long time looked up at the sky and saw a bright light descend. This ray of light was like a sign that testified to God's presence at Marina Beach. On most people who were kneeling and receiving prayer descended the fire of the Holy Spirit as they experienced healing. I believe over 70% of the crowd gathered that night received healing. When Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee said, "Be healed!" I became certain that I had already been healed of the diabetes. From 1983, I had been tormented by diabetes for 20 years. I had tried modern medical science, alternate medical science, and traditional medical science, but no progress was made. From the pain in my joints I was unable to sleep or eat properly. When I went to the hospital to measure the level of my blood sugar after the Festival, I learned that the sugar level that had remained in 350-400 had dropped to below 120. A few days later I had the level of my blood sugar re-examined and confirmed that the level was at below 120. I received examinations a few times more after that and the result was the same. I had received complete healing! When I told this to my wife, also a physician, she said it was a sure sign of God's miracle. Prior to arriving at Marina Beach almost 3 years ago, many people had believed this Festival to be an occasion on which they were to receive God's overflowing grace and come in new clothing. Some people had come to Chennai after spending two nights and threes days on buses. Thousands of police officers were scattered throughout the beach to protect the huge crowd. For the Indian government had known that Hindu activists would try to interfere with the Festival even for a trivial reason, it had dispatched the police to ensure the safety of the crowd. However, it was truly amazing when the police on site and Hindu activists - who were there to stir up the crowd and obstruct the Festival - experienced healing and came to testify to their healing. Many more people bore witness to their healing even after the Festival was over and the Manmin mission team returned to Korea. I still remember the vivid memory of the 2002 Festival, which left a lasting impact on India's Christian history, and how I was so moved by it. People of India are longing to see Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee in their homeland once again. 1. Blood sugar level before the Festival (May 20, 2002) 2. Healed of diabetes after the Festival (October 15, 2002) 3. Results of medical examination that attests to healing (January 19, 2003)

Fw: 51-I was completely healed of severe burn on both my feet

I was completely healed of severe burn on both my feet

Bro Suho Lee (6-23rd Parish, 3rd Mission of High School) On May 25th, during a field trip, I had both my feet severely burned because my friends played a trick on me. I had big blisters where my feet had been burned and I also had severe pain from the burns on my feet. I could not sleep well. My doctor in the hospital said I would have to be in the hospital for 5 weeks and if something went wrong, I might have to have my two legs cut off. I never thought a small prank could bring about such big trouble. But since I had witnessed many people healed through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, I decided to rely on God rather than to be treated medically in the hospital. I looked back at my life and was reminded that I had not worshiped God in spirit and truth but been seized with drowsiness and idle thoughts. I repented of my sin and two days later I went to Rev. Dr. Lee to receive his prayer in a wheelchair. After his prayer, I was given the faith by which I would be healed through Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer, and began to recover rapidly. Soon scabs covered the burned parts and new flesh started to grow. On the 13th of July, 17 days later, I was found to be completely healed and walked to my school. 1. Before receiving the prayer 2. After receiving the prayer Though my friends harmed me, I chose to comfort them and their family with the love of God saying that I was all right. My father and I visited my teacher and gave him a pictorial book testifying to the living God and His powerful works performed through Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. I explained to my teacher that much more serious diseases can be healed by the power of God. He replied with a surprise, "What an amazing thing! I want to go to Manmin Joong-ang Church."

Fw: 50-I have fed on God's faithfulness, so now blessings overflow

I have fed on God's faithfulness, so now blessings overflow

Deacon Sunik Kim (2-8th Parish, Working for Women & Children Policy Bureau of the Seoul Metropolitan Government) I am in charge of various women's events and policy at the Women & Children Policy Bureau of the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Last year my life was filled with the great love of God. Anybody who works in the governmental organizations wants to be awarded the plaque of an exemplary official. I was awarded it this year and will receive its bonus every month for 3 years. I was reported as a male official serving women on the page 3 of The Women's News. I give all glory to God. When I started this year, 2005, I determined to be faithful to all God's house as said in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light for the world." I tried my best to understand and have peace with fellow workers and seniors with the Lord's heart and live an exemplary life. Finally I was recognized as a faithful official. When I coordinated various women's events including Women's Marathon sponsored by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Special Education for Field Women Leaders and other celebration events sponsored by "Weekly Woman", I planned them in prayer and prepared for detailed things. Each time I left everything to God through prayers, I came to be recognized and glorified God. Then, He has let us meet with no error and no mistakes. I gained good points both in my job evaluation score and sociality in our company, an advancement opportunity was given to me also. I will glorify God by living by the word of God, fully play the role for the light and salt of the world and make a bright global village. Hallelujah!

Fw: 49-Since the word of life fills my heart, everyday I am happy and joyous

Since the word of life fills my heart, everyday I am happy and joyous

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16) Deaconess Heeryoung Lee (5-21st Parish, 1-1 Women's Mission) My soul was hungry and my body was sick In 2001, I traveled to Tokyo to help my husband with his business, and went to a church in the Shinokubo area where some Koreans attended. At the church, I saw the ministering pastor dedicating all his life to its members and them loving and serving each other, and through them I experienced the warm love I had not yet tasted. I was so happy in my church life, and although it took 40 minutes for me to go there from my home by train, I visited my church three or four times a day when I felt tired. I never felt uncomfortable at it but was joyful just at going to my church. A year later I came back to Korea and visited the church I had attended before I went to Japan. It was not easy for me to readjust to that church and the grace did not come on me from above. I felt more exhausted day by day. Meanwhile, I tried a few businesses, but failed in all of them and suffered some losses. I felt sorry for my family. I could not sleep properly and was overstressed. Finally, due to the aftereffects of a weak heart condition, my left hand became paralyzed. I suffered from mental depression and a feminine bleeding disorder. Guided at Manmin Joong-ang Church I searched for many churches where I could solve my problems, but my confusion was not quenched. In the May of 2005, a good-and-healthy-looking gentleman and a woman stopped at my shop, and I asked him, "Are you a pastor?" said he, "I am Pastor Yunsun Ko serving Manmin Joong-ang Church." They dropped in my store on the way to visit a parish member of theirs. I served them a cup of cold beverage and talked with them for a moment. While talking I felt easy in my heart. That pastor told me he wanted to pray for me with a handkerchief the Senior Pastor of his church had laid his hands on. I accepted it because I had been fatigued in heart and body, and when he prayed for me, I shed tears. He explained to me about Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and his church Manmin Joong-ang Church. Later I went to a local sanctuary in Icheon that they told me about, and when I first watched Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's bright face on a satellite TV there, my heart began to throb. My Christian life became exciting again. I began to pray and cry. When I heard of Rev. Dr. Lee and God's powerful works performed through him in the name of Jesus Christ, I felt every kind of tiredness and loneliness going away. Healed of paralysis on the left hand, blood discharge, and mental depression On June 9, I registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church and while listening to the messages during the Friday All-night service, the Sunday Morning, and the Afternoon service, I felt his messages were sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb (Psalm 19:10). I read his testimonial memoirs "Tasting Eternal Life before Death" and heard the audio tapes of his sermon "The Message of the Cross" "Spirit Soul and Body" and "The Measure of Faith." It was very powerful and touching to me. I repeatedly studied the sermon scripts of the past Sunday morning service, and read one chapter of the Bible and memorized one verse from it every day. In addition, I attended Daniel prayer meeting every night. It was not long before I visited Rev. Dr. Lee so that I would be healed of the paralysis of my left hand, blood discharge, and mental depression. I prepared an offering and wrote my prayer points down on the offering envelope. When I went out of my home, God gave me the assurance of my healing. Rev. Dr. Lee laid his hand on me and prayed for me, "Let her be healed of the left hand, bleeding, and mental depression!" At that moment I became certain that I would be healed and my heart became filled with joy. All the symptoms were gone! Hallelujah! Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to my kinsmen Thus, my life became renewed through the word of God and miraculous healing and I was strongly urged to testify to the living God I had met. I began to pray for it, and I first evangelized my younger sister Mrs. Heeja Lee and then preached the gospel to my husband. I said to him, "The church I am attending is as good and full of love and powerful messages as that church we used to attend in Japan. Additionally, many powerful works have happened there." One day my husband sprained his ankle, and was going to go to the hospital. That day our parish pastor Rev. Yunsun Ko visited him and prayed for him with the handkerchief Rev. Dr. Lee had prayed on. On the spot he was healed and soon registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church because he himself experienced the power of God. In addition, I prayed for my husband's family and gave them Rev. Dr. Lee's testimonial book "Tasting Eternal Life before Death" and his serial sermon audio tapes "The Message of the Cross." My father-in-law did not seem to receive it well, but left it behind. A few months later something surprising happened to him. He read that book and rejoiced, saying, "This person is very wise concerning the Bible! Where is this person?" At last he and his wife registered at Manmin church on July 24th. Evangelizing 12 people and receiving overflowing blessings I began to pray for my neighbors living in the same apartment and distributed Manmin Joong-ang News to them wishing for them to meet the living God. God gave me a burning passion for them and led me to those who were to be evangelized. At a bus stop I met a woman who had suffered from asthma and many other diseases for more than 10 years. I went with her to my church's Friday all-night service. She received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer from the podium at the service and was healed of asthma and back pains. Afterwards I invited my neighbors to my house and served them cake and some children's clothes. I was able to introduce to them the living God I had met. As a result, I was able to evangelize 12 people that year. My wife and I had not given God the whole tithes until then. We learned about the tithe and gave God all the whole tithe. On April 27, 2005, we gave a special offering for the floral decoration on the altar for the anniversary of our joining Icheon local sanctuary. After that my total income from my vending machines installed locally soon doubled. My husband was in a kitchen articles business and orders began to flood in. He received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer on July 1, and then succeeded in inventing a newly develop utensil and won the patent for it. Hallelujah! I give all thanks and glory to God the Father and give thanks to Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee who has prayed with all his sincerity so as not to lose a single of soul.

Fw: 47-I want to become a messenger spreading God's love

I want to become a messenger spreading God's love

Deacon Dongpyo Chun (Men's Mission leader of Wonjoo Manmin Church, Representative of Jeonkook Trans) In the midst of a meaningless life I felt spiritual thirst In 1986, I married Minyeo and lived a comfortable life. But it was not long before, as a truck driver, I was addicted to drinking and gambling and not interested in my home. It led to frequent quarrels with my wife. Fortunately we avoided divorce, but our marriage only existed from day by day without love and trust. In 1991, 5 years later, I worked at a transportation company for house-moving affiliated with the US Army. We moved into the Osan area. There I met many Christians and began to live a Christian life because I just felt exhausted. My wife and I tried to live according to the word of God and my home became peaceful. Afterwards God's grace came upon my heart and I began to feel so hungry for spiritual messages and curious about many things about the Bible. So, we attended as many revival meetings and divine healing meetings as we were able, but everything was to no avail. Tasting the spiritual realm at Manmin Joong-ang Church In the early 1997, Deaconess Myongja Cho took me to Manmin Joong-ang Church and when I entered its main sanctuary, I felt as if I were in the kingdom of heaven. I watched many of the church members singing praises to God with bright and beautiful smiles and my heart was flooded with indescribable emotion. Through the messages of the Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Lee, I realized how foolish my life had been. Listening to Rev. Dr. Lee's sermon tapes including "The Message of the Cross" "The Measure of Faith" and "Spirit, Soul and Body" I was greatly delighted in tasting the spiritual realm. I thought he is so trustworthy to be able to preach those wonderful messages. I came to love him as my shepherd little by little. Though I lived in the Pyongtaek City, I tried to come to Seoul and attend the service at the main sanctuary because I wanted to see him in person just once more. The gate of the gospel was opened to my hometown At that time I purchased a truck and ran a moving company on my own. Deaconess Cho advised me to move to the Wonjoo City, next to my hometown, and to give a help in establishing a branch church in that city. She had prayed to God to spread the holiness gospel to all of Kang-won Province, and seeing my wife and me leading a successful life in Christ for a long time, she suggested. We were touched by her love for the souls and willingly accepted her suggestion in hopes to repay the grace of our Lord. I had no reason to reject it because it would bring me better opportunity to be nearer to Rev. Dr. Lee's messages. We began to pray for our new house where we should live in that city, and God showed a good one in my wife's dream. When we went to that city, we found a good, large house prepared for us. It had not been rented and was unoccupied for 3 months. Surprisingly the rental key money was the same amount we prepared. In the autumn of 1997, we moved to the Wonjoo City and prepared every detailed thing for founding a branch church attending each service, prayer meetings, various eventual festivals and education meetings. Founding Wonjoo Manmin Branch Church On the 2 nd of May, 1999, eight members had a church-opening service. Deacon Cho, my wife and I and other members shed many tears of emotion. I did not know whether I was in the body or not when a dreamlike goal came true. I was full of the Holy Spirit. The 7 th Two-week Special Revival Meeting with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee took place and we attended it through the Internet. How thankful and joyful it was to hear the words of life in Wonjoo City! But during the revival something else unexpected happened. A Korean broadcasting station wrongfully broadcasted a program about our church that was not true. Members of Wonjoo Manmin church pasted revival posters on the gates of our homes and publicized our church and Rev. Dr. Lee. We tried our best to announce the revival meeting and help the central church regardless of the confusion and embarrassment. It was beautiful! A few months later a simultaneous satellite broadcast system was installed at the church. We could attend real time services from the main sanctuaries of Manmin Joong-ang Church in our church. We were very joyful and thankful to be able to see the Senor Pastor Lee's face and hear his messages. We have overcome all kinds of trials with the loving care and prayer of Senior Pastor Lee, and each time, God sent good workers to us and let us manage our church properly. Blessing came upon my home and business God saw our deeds of faith and opened a gate for our blessing. A moving company is very busy on Sundays because many people try to move on Sunday, so it's not easy to close moving companies on Sundays. But when I told my clients I would not open my company on Sunday, they praised my company saying it was trustworthy and changed their moving dates from Sunday to other days. In addition, when we followed the right way in everything, our tithes increased. We didn't request high moving fees but rather tried to serve and accommodate our clients according to their living standard and moved any piece of luggage safely and properly. As a result, my company was well spoken of by many people and orders were flooding in. At first, when we started out as a moving company, we gave a tithe of 2 or 3 hundred-thousand Won (2 or 3 hundred US dollars), but later we gave the tithe of 3 million Won (3 thousand US dollars). A moving company will sometimes meet various unexpected accidents, but because we start our job by receiving the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee on an audio tape every day, we have been completely protected from any accidents. We walked in the right way and blessings have come upon our company. As our souls are getting along well, everything is successful and we enjoy good health. Through the prayers of Senior Pastor Lee my wife was completely healed of back pain, dust allergies, chronic fatigue, and 12-year pains in both her hands and feet. I give all thanks and glory to God the Father who has led and blessed us to this day and give real thanks to Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee for teaching us with the words of life.

Fw: 46-I was healed of tetanic spondylitis through the handkerchief prayer

I was healed of tetanic spondylitis through the handkerchief prayer

Brother Hanyoung Lee (4-13 th Parish, 2 nd Canaan Mission / Working at the Headline Telecommunication) Suffering from tetanic spondylitis, a rare disease In the winter of 1995, in my high school days, I had an acute pain in the left elbow and the following year the pain rapidly radiated to my spine. "This is a rare disease. Tetanic spondylitis!" Tetanic spondylitis causes muscles and joints around the spine to become stiffened and finally even the spine becomes hardened like a pole of bamboo. An operation was impossible. I did my best to relieve pains with medications and physical therapy. I had to quit going to school a couple of times. I was also exempted from military service. Afterwards I got a job but I was not able to live a normal life because of intermittent back pain. In early April of 2004, I overstressed while working too hard and developed back pain. Finally, my spinal bones stiffened, my appetite dwindled away, and I didn't get enough sleep. Without pain-killers I could not live and it was not long before I started rapidly losing weight. I had tremendous difficulty just stepping from one foot to the other. Guided at Manmin Joong-ang Church through Manmin Joong-ang News One day during the winter of 2004, my mother found a folded church newspaper placed in front of the entrance of my house. She caught a glimmer of light and hope after she read about the miraculous healing cases performed through Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. She thought to herself, "Yes! If we attend this church, my son will be healed!" My mother had always been worried about my disease. She called the church and went to visit there. As soon as she entered its sanctuary, she was very touched at the sight of members of that church. She witnessed God's powerful works and heard the message filled with life and power. She registered at the church. That day she recovered good eyesight and she began to clearly see objects far from her. Then, I followed her example and registered at Manmin Joong-ang Church. Rev. Dr. Lee's messages were so powerful that they changed my life. I was reminded that I had enjoyed the worldly things with friends and complained to my mother while I was ill in bed. I repented of all my past sins. Since then, my life was changed remarkably, and my disorganized life style and distracting words and behaviors were all gone. Through the powerful prayer of handkerchief Listening to the words of life and praying continually, I ran toward heaven every day and my heart was filled with thanks and joy. My mother attributed my disease to her fault and began to pray to God with fasting. In the March of 2005, Rev. Sooyoul Jo visited my house and testified to the powerful works of God manifested through Rev. Dr. Lee. Then, he laid the handkerchief on which Rev. Dr. Lee had prayed on me, and he prayed saying, "Father God, let him be clean. Heal him completely." I felt a thrilling, cold, but comfortable feeling all over my body. After I received the handkerchief prayer, I threw away all medicines and did not go the hospital any more for medications. All pains were gone and I began to walk and run normally A few days later when I woke up I found something completely unexpected. My whole body became light and all the pains on my spine were gone. Furthermore, I came to walk properly and freely. With the passing of time I gained more than 10 kg of weight and was able to live a normal life and at my office working. When I walk down the stairs it is with a light step as if I had never fallen ill, my mother shed tears with deep thanks to God who healed me. I give all thanks and glory to God and I give thanks to Rev. Dr. Lee who has planted the faith into us with the words of life and power and led us to the way of blessing and answers.
