Mrs. Insook Yun with leaders of Women's Mission (Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church in Kenya)
In December 1990, my husband Bishop Dr. Myongho Cheong was guided to Manmin Central Church by an acquaintance and rejoiced saying he received a lot of grace from Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermon. He marveled at the mysterious spiritual words included in Dr. Lee's sermon collection for Cell Group Service Manna for Six Days and his sermon series "Lectures on Revelation."
Our African mission started in Kenya under the guidance of God
In July 1991, my husband and I registered in Manmin Central Church by the guidance of God. My husband was working as a professor of English Literature Department in Hoseo University. One day, he was strongly urged by the Spirit to leave for Africa to perform mission work and applied for a position as an exchange professor at the University of Nairobi.
I felt sorry having to live away from the church and the shepherd, but my husband was dispatched as a missionary of Manmin in September 1994 and I followed him in March of the following year. It took me time to learn the language, adapt myself to new culture and habits, and to get used to living with strangers. I missed Dr. Jaerock Lee so much and the worship services of Korea.
At first, we attended the services in a local church in Kenya and offered up Manmin's services watching video tapes that the church sent to us from Seoul. We opened the mission center in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, in 1996. In October the same year, my husband was ordained as a pastor. Then, he began holding seminars for pastors and church leaders in earnest. He delivered the holiness gospel that God Himself explained to Dr. Lee.
They were amazed at the message and said that they had never heard of such messages and that there was no other pastor like Dr. Jaerock Lee. Afterwards, he actively conducted seminars and meetings in many cities of Kenya and other parts of Africa. However, there were many difficulties in the poor mission field. At that time, I went with him. I took pictures, prepared meals, washed his clothes, and such things. Our car often broke down because of the poor condition of the roads.
Since I had been weak from early childhood and got carsick frequently, it was really hard for me to be in the rattling car. Once, we had to have our broken car repaired at a repair shop. The shop was hundreds of kilometers away from our house. While we were bringing it back, it broke down again. The auto mechanic forgot some parts by mistake. It took three days to obtain the parts.
We had to save money, so we had no choice but to stay in hotels or places where the conditions were quite poor. Some places had no water or many bugs so I got bitten, but all of it remained beautiful in my memory.
Bishop Dr. Cheong often went on mission trips. So I had to manage our pastors and workers in the mission center. It was not easy for me. But I thought about Dr. Lee in any kind of circumstances or difficulties. Seeing Bishop Dr. Cheong rejoice, give thanks, and pray, I could also overcome everything. Now our pastors and workers have been changed by the holiness gospel and become pastors and workers who can obey. How thankful it is!
After Uganda Holy Gospel Crusade, Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church opened and grew up well
In July 2000, Dr. Jaerock Lee's Uganda Holy Gospel Crusade marked a milestone in the African mission. Many people stood up from wheelchairs and came to walk. The deaf came to hear, the blind to see, and people were healed of various kinds of diseases including AIDS.
In November 2000, we opened Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church and the church steadily grew up in the fiery works of the Spirit day by day. Through the Handkerchief Healing Meeting held monthly (Acts 19:11-12), many people received answers and blessings.
One Sunday I was preparing lunch for the members. More members came to the church so we were short of rice. I thought about how to divide it and share it with all of people in attendance with a prayerful heart. Then, I opened the lid of caldron. What a surprise! The rice here is very small even after being cooked but the rice in the caldron was three times bigger than usual and filled the big caldron.
I felt a shiver of joy at the love of God who worked so very delicately. While taking care of my souls I have been experiencing many works of God through the handkerchief on which Dr. Lee had prayed.
One day, a brother was carried on someone's back to the church. He was dying of a stroke and was having difficulties in breathing. When I prayed for him with the handkerchief, he became normal and walked back home. A female member whose face was horrifying due to atopic dermatitis was also healed completely. Here is another story.
Some of our pastors and brothers held a demon-possessed girl who was making disturbance. Then, I prayed for her and the demon went out and she became normal. I later heard from her that she wasn't able to open her eyes because the light that came out from my hand was so strong. It was the light that emanated from the handkerchief on which Dr. Lee had prayed.
I realized the love of God towards souls in 55 countries in Africa
I used to have digestive disorder. In early 2011, it became worse and I was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer. I looked back upon my past life. I repented from my heart that I had done something that was not proper in the sight of God and prayed. Then, the Holy Spirit taught me a lot. I realized that He wanted me to give the grace and love I had received from the Lord to African souls all the more. For this, I should have received strength through fire-like prayer but I couldn't.
One day, God gave me realization through a dream. In the dream, someone came to me and said, "The race has begun in the stadium. How come are you sitting here?" I had to run in the field but I sat in the stand. After the dream, I prayed earnestly with desire to be changed quickly and become the source of strength for African mission. There were a lot of things to do to help Bishop Dr. Cheong. I felt the love of God the Father who was waiting for me to be changed. God wanted me to have the heart of spirit and of goodness and share His love with the souls. While praying for this, I became healthier and healthier. On March 31 in 2014, I was blessed to have the faith of spirit.
Now I am improving my ability with prayer to be united with Bishop Dr. Cheong. To help him and other missionaries, pastors, and the workers who are being devoted to the evangelism of the 55 African countries. And, I want to become a great source of power for the African mission. I want to share the love of the Lord that unceasingly springs up and never dries up. I want to deliver the love of the Lord to African souls. I give all thanks and glory to God.
