Since April of this year, I began experiencing pain whenever I bent my right thumb. Eventually, I could only bend it by forcing it with my other hand. The pain worsened day by day, and it became very inconvenient in my daily life. ...
"I used to be indulged in video games but now I preach the gospel!"
Brother Arnold Zacarias Molina Velasco, age 26, Peru Manmin Church
I was born into a Christian family. I read the Bible and prayed according to my parents' teaching. But, I could not understand the love and will of God. I studied well in school and pleased my parents. But after my mother passed away when I was 11, I came to neglect studying and spent so much time and money on video games. Above all, I stopped going to church for six years.
In November 2008, I was guided to Peru Manmin Church by one of my relatives. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermons and spiritual authority brought renewal to my life. I could stop video games. I became a new person on December 25.
I started to read Senior Pastor's sermon text presented in the church's website in Spanish. I also read his books The Message of the Cross and The Measure of Faith. I received much grace. I came to understand the love of God embedded in human cultivation, the wisdom of God shown in the Lord's sacrifice, and the purpose of my life.
I attended Daniel Prayer Meeting as well. I repented of my past life and prayed to be forgiven by God. I volunteered actively in church and listened to Senior Pastor's sermons. I took the courses of Manmin International Seminary. Afterwards, I helped my church's pastor preach the holiness gospel and deliver the power of God in many areas of Peru for five years.
Pastor Hangyeol Kim was dispatched to my church. I help him prepare for the sermon in Spanish and serve as a president of Young Adults' Mission. I am so happy to dwell in the Word of God and fulfill my God-given duty. I hope to deliver the holiness gospel to Peru and its neighboring countries and lead many people to dwell in the grace of God. I give all thanks and glory to God who gives me true happiness.
