On Monday, May 21, 2007, the pinky and the ring finger on my right hand, covered in a glove, got caught in a meat slicer at my butcher shop. To release my fingers, I reversed the machine but there were already several holes on my little finger, which had been sucked deep into the machine. Severed veins were like a faucet with water turned on full as that tiny finger bled profusely. The sharp pain, which I imagined must have felt like if I were stabbed with a knife, threw me into a state of confusion.
On that day, there were many orders at the butcher shop and, ignoring safety rules, I had left the top of the slicer open and begun using the machine, and that had caused the accident.

By the time I arrived at the hospital, my pinky had already suffered comminuted fracture and all the veins, ligaments, and nerves had been severed. Without an operation, I was told, the injury would turn into osteomyelitis, that I would have to have the little finger amputated, and that even after the surgery, the damage to the nerves would prevent a perfect recovery.
 Diagnosis after the Accident
"There are at least 10 external wounds, whose lengths are about .5 cm (about .2 inches) each, on distal and intermediate phalanges of the right little finger. The distal phalanges of the little finger seem to have suffered from comminuted fracture and there are additional external wounds on the distal phalanges of the ring finger."
From the moment I was born I had been a Christian, and I began attending Manmin Joong-ang Church at the age of 7, witnessing countless works of God's power manifested through Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. I also remembered the testimony of Brother Hun-baek Choi also of the Young Adults Mission, who was run over by a 47-person coach and had the bones in his left leg below the pelvis completely crushed, but became well and whole again after receiving the Senior Pastor's prayer. Thinking that my injury was nothing compared to his, I left the hospital, vowing to receive God's healing by faith.
The pain was so severe that it made my heart tremble but as "The Daniel Prayer Meeting" was nearing its end that evening, I was able to receive prayer from Mrs. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center. The pain went away and peace settled in my heart after receiving her prayer. Furthermore, as I became aware of God's love for me, I could only be grateful.
During the next few days, a series of divine healing meetings were being held at Manmin Prayer Center. I made every effort to attend as often as possible and repented of my lukewarm faith, having worshipped God only as a habit, and having repeated myself meaninglessly in prayer.
 Prior to the Friday All-night Service on May 25, I received prayer from the Senior Pastor with a repentant heart and immediately upon receiving his prayer, I felt the injured area heating up and became convinced of God's healing. A few hours later, my pinky began to swell up and dead blood squirted out. The recovery was fast after that; within 4-5 days, scabs developed on my little finger and on May 31, a thin layer of skin peeled off and abscess was forced out of the injured area.
After receiving prayer from the Senior Pastor again on June 1, nerves were revived and I could bend my pinky back and forth. Hallelujah!
A few days later, I went to see a doctor for a diagnosis and was told, "I don't know where you had the surgery but it came out really well!" The X-rays revealed that every bone and organ in the finger was normal, as if nothing had happened. It is really fascinating to be able to bend and move my little finger back and forth.
I give all thanks and glory to Father God and would also like to thank Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee for his prayer.
