Manmin Central Church has practiced the Lord's love and service with charitable works as the all-time prayer title just as the Lord commands in John 13:34, "…even as I have loved you, that you also love one another."
The church has given living expenses, rice, and side dish to 1,300 households in need every month. It has offered scholarships regularly to students who struggle to afford their tuition and has given rice to public offices and welfare centers. Additionally, the church members make kimchi and share it with neighbors in need every winter.
On November 22 and 23 2017, the Women's Mission held the 20th Love-Kimchi Sharing Event. In fair weather, approximately 1,300 people including the mission members, Maintenance Bureau workers, and many full-time workers joined the work. They made kimchi with fervor and love for neighbors.
They salted the cabbages, made seasoning, and finished making kimchi. Ten to twelve kg of kimchi was put into each box, and the kimchi boxes were delivered to households that the church helps. To help neighbors in need they also sent the kimchi to Sindaebang 2-dong Community Service Center, Garibong-dong Community Service Center, Guro-gu Vocational Rehabilitation Center for People with Special Needs, and Korea Rehabilitation Agency.
Senior Deaconess Maljin Kim donated cabbages that she had harvested and Deaconess Woongsun Kim provided the salt with thanks for God's power, the Lord's love and the shepherd's prayer.
Let's give all thanks and glory to the God of love who allowed us to celebrate the Lord's birth by holding this event in happiness and prosperity.
"I give thanks for healing my grandson of a serious burn to his face!"
I offer cabbages to express my thanks for the grace of God! _ Senior Deaconess Maljin Kim, age 67, Mokpo Manmin Church
It was on January 28, 2006, the day before the Lunar New Year's holiday. My daughter-in-law was preparing food for the holiday, and her eight-month-old son was playing in a baby walker. When she went to the restroom, the baby's walker-wheels tipped over on the threshold and he fell head-long into a large fry pan full of boiling oil and burned the left side of his face very seriously.
My son grabbed him and lifted him up quickly. But, my grandson slipped from his hands because he was covered with so much oil. Again, he fell into the pan of oil. I got to him and hurriedly sprayed Muan Sweet Water on his face. It is the water that was the salty water that came from a well but was changed into drinkable fresh sweet water by Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer (Exodus 15:25).
I also let him hear Dr. Lee's prayer for the sick recorded on the automatic response system. During the prayer, my grandson who was screaming in tears stopped crying. Fortunately, it was Lunar New Year's holiday when Senior Pastor had time with the church members in his residence. So, my son, daughter-in-law, and I went to Seoul from Haenam in Jeonnam Province to meet Senior Pastor, and we received his prayer. Afterwards, my grandson was healed very quickly. He was in the danger of going blind in his left eye but the swelling on the eye subsided. Blisters and discharge on his face dried and scabs covered his face within six days. New flesh developed under the scabs. Around three weeks after the accident, the scabs all fell off and his face had become clean with no scars remaining. Hallelujah!
He has been growing healthily in the Lord, and he is now a sixth grader. Whenever I see him, I am touched by the love of the shepherd who prayed to heal him without scaring. I give all thanks and glory to God of love.
POWER OF GOD
Brother Jaewoo Lee, now age 13, was eight months old at that time.
