Many testimonies appeared in Manmin News until its 700th Korean edition was published. We will reminisce on some of the testimonies and look at the testimony givers' present lives full of blessing by the grace of God. Let's glorify God through them!
"I Am Happy to Lead a Life for God's Glory"
Senior Deaconess Hyunsuk Cho, Guidance Teacher of Canaan Mission, President of Women's Mission, South Korea, the testimony giver of Korean edition No. 97
In 1991, I found that my two-month-old daughter had a heart disease called supraventricular tachycardia. I was told that it was not cured completely and even if the surgery was successful she could live until the age of 18, at the most. In early 1993, one of my neighbors gave me Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermon tape "The Message of the Cross". When I listened to it, I came to feel much relieved. And when I received his prayer for the sick at the end of the tape, I felt coolness from head to toe as though I was eating a mint candy. I was healed of pain in my eyes, allergic rhinitis, and eczema that had troubled me.
On May 3 in 1993, to attend Dr. Lee's Special Revival Meeting, I went to Manmin Central Church with my daughter in haste. I received a lot of grace from the message, repented thoroughly every meeting, and made up my mind to live by the Word of God.
On May 30, 1993, all my family members registered. And as we received Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick after his sermon, my daughter was healed of her heart disease completely and now she is 25 and still healthy. My husband and I worked diligently for the Lord with thanks for God's grace. We sometimes had a hard time, but we gave thanks to God thinking of Senior Pastor's message of life and looked back upon our faith. Then, it became a blessing for our souls to prosper.
My son Brother Seungcheol Song used to wander in the world with worldly friends. But since he realized the shepherd's love, he was quickly renewed. Now he works for the church as a Levite worker (full-time worker) and as President of Young Adults' Mission. My daughter Pastor Jihyung Song became a pastor and delivered the grace and love she had received from the Lord to other souls. My husband Elder Seokgil Song serves as President of Men's Mission and Guidance Teacher of First Young Adults' Mission, and I as President of Women's Mission and Guidance Teacher of Canaan Mission.
If we had not met the shepherd of life, my family would not be like this. I give all thanks and glory to God who blessed and led us to achieve the heart of spirit and whole spirit and live only for the glory of God.
"My Family Live Happily Thanks to God's Grace"
Deacon Jaewoo Park, President of 2-3 Men's Mission, South Korea, the testimony giver of Korean edition No. 183
In 1998, I began attending Manmin Central Church. Through Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermon, I have peace of mind and I was healed of gastroenteric trouble and back pain.
At that time my wife and I had been married for two years. We were worried about not having a baby. But one night Senior Pastor appeared in my dream. He had a baby in his right arm and gave her to me. And he said, "Call her Yerim". Afterwards, my wife had an abnormal symptom and went to hospital. She was six weeks pregnant.
God later sent us more daughters and a son and we are living happily. My children have grown up well. They are healthy and nice. As I have kept Sabbath, given a tithe and offerings diligently, and prayed, God has given me blessings so that I lack nothing.
I will take care of souls in my mission and my cell with the heart of the shepherd and repay the grace that I have received. I give all thanks and glory to God who gives answers and blessings.
"I Gained a Daughter by the Power! She Is Growing Up Well"
Sister Sophie Atien, Nairobi Manmin Church, Kenya, the testimony giver No. 374
In April, 2013, I heard the good news that I was seven weeks pregnant. Later I heard from the hospital that my baby was a son. But I really wanted to have a daughter.
On January 5, 2014 I was listening to Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermon and he was talking about the works of re-creation. Then I was convinced that my son in my womb could be changed into a daughter through Dr. Lee's power. So I prayed with faith and received his prayer for the sick during Friday All-night Service on January 17. Although my due date was around the corner, I completely believed that my son had been changed into a daughter. At 11 P.M. next day I delivered my baby. It was a beautiful and healthy daughter who weighed 3.6kg.
My daughter is healthy and now toddles along. She likes to praise and dance so when I show her the video of the second half of Friday All-night Service she stops crying and looks very happy. Additionally, I have received blessings and lead praise in the church. I give all thanks and glory to God who is alive and works according to our faith.
"I Am Happy to Think about My Mother Who Was Healed"
Deaconess Virginia, Foreigners' Parish, DR Congo, Manmin News No. 102 testimony giver
In the summer of 2002, I heard very sad news. My mother, who was living in Paris, France, was diagnosed with leukemia. She took medicine and used many ways to be healed but it was getting worse. She could not eat well and often vomited. She became weak quickly. She lost weight going from 100kg to 38kg. Finally, she started to prepare herself for her death and sent her last will and valuables to me in Korea.
In May 2004, I attended Dr. Jaerock Lee's Special Revival Meeting and received his prayer on her photo. And afterwards I piled up deeds of faith for her. In late 2006, my mother was given strength and began gaining weight. It was a miracle! In June, 2007, her test result showed that no cancer cell was found. Hallelujah!
As of August 2015, my mother still stays healthy (right), and attends Manmin Central Church's worship services via the Internet. She's received much grace through Dr. Lee's books and Manmin News. I feel so happy and thankful to God even just thinking about my mother who was healed and keeps in shape.
Since then, my faith has increased and I have been leading a happy Christian life. Now I interpret Sunday Evening Service in French and help parish pastors talk to people who speak French. I give all thanks and glory to God who gives the best things all the time to His beloved children.
"My Family Came to Work Faithfully for God"
Deacon City Bav, Chennai Manmin Church, the testimony giver No. 263
Before I accepted the Lord, I was addicted to alcohol and drugs. I was feared by my family members. I was drunk every night, and told my wife and sons with a knife that I would kill them and I beat them. But if I did not drink alcohol, I had severe headaches and my hands trembled. So I could not help but drink it.
So, my family members were mentally suffering because of me (left, back). They were also physically sick. My wife had thyroid and heart diseases and had difficulty in breathing. She also had sychnuria. My first son had headaches and bad eyesight. My second son walked around at night due to somnambulism.
But in November 2007, I was guided to Chennai Manmin Church. And I could stop drinking alcohol to which I had been addicted for 20 years and also stop taking drugs that I had taken for ten years. My wife and sons were healed of their diseases. Afterwards, my life turned over a new leaf. I have been diligently leading a believing life and driving a taxi (auto rickshaw taxi) to make money. I am happy and my family members feel happy, too.
In late 2014, I also guided my father and my brother's family who had worshipped Hinduism to the church. We are living Christian lives together. How thankful!
All my family members are working as the church workers. I am President of Men's Mission, my wife is President of Women's Mission and a teacher for Children's Sunday School, and a member of the choir. My first son belongs to Young Adults' Mission Praise Team.
I give all thanks and glory to God who blessed us to accept the Lord and receive great blessings in spirit and body.
"All Trials and Hardship Were the Lord's Love for Me"
Deacon Seokheon Kim, Masan Manmin Church, the testimony giver No. 297
When I was young, I did not know about money and how to manage it well. But I was full of ambition and desire. I imprudently used credit cards, stood surety for others, and started up my own business. I fell into economic hardship.
In 2001, even after I got married, I took out a credit card loan and invested in stocks so as to pay my existing debt. But it only led to greater debt. I quit my job and paid some of my debt with some of my retirement benefits. And I opened my own business to earn more money. I started a health food store.
It went well, and became stable. Then I invested in stocks again and I was in huge debt again. In November 2008, fire broke out around the building of my store. It was very amazing that the next store was burnt but nothing happened to my store. The next store was 8 centimeters away from my store but God protected my store.
This incident made me look back upon my life and repent. Although God taught me the keys to blessings through Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, I ignored them and just lived as I wanted with greed. I did not take the right path. I repented of all of these. And I got a job in Seoul Joongang Asset, Masan branch. Because I went through precious trials, I wanted to help those in need and diligently gave of mine for God's kingdom.
Then God of love blessed me. In the first month, I was ranked second place due to my sales performance in the company. I paid back all my debt within a year and got promoted. The more I gave to God, the more blessings I received.
In May 2015, I was given a chance to discover evil deep in my heart and strive to achieve the heart of spirit. My five-year-old son Jihun was diagnosed with pneumonia. He suffered high fever for seven days. He couldn't eat nor sleep. He said strange things and became dehydrated. His lips were so dry and bled. He coughed so much that it turned his throat raw. The pneumonia was spread to his diaphragm and liver somatic index increased to the level four times higher than the normal.
My wife and I started to fast. We found that our fervor had become dull and we had been spiritually arrogant. I thought it was my fault. So I thoroughly repented. After then, his high fever was gone and he was completely healed. Afterwards, I started to run fervently with humbleness, thanks, and devotion. In June 2015, I was blessed to achieve the heart of spirit.
All the trials and hardship were the love of the Lord. I give all thanks and glory to God who patiently waited for me until I became a man of spirit.
