It was a dark, rainy Friday night on October 10. As I carefully crossed an unmarked crosswalk, a car suddenly came straight toward me and struck me hard. The impact threw my body into the air before I was slammed to the ground. After the accident, the pain was so severe that I could barely breathe. I was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where the doctor examined the X-rays and said, “It looks like a car wheel passed over your foot.” He explained that the bones on the top of my right foot and all five toes were fractured and told me that I must undergo surgery the following Monday. After returning home, I explained the situation to my husband, who said, “If surgery is needed, let’s get an accurate diagnosis again at a large hospital in Seoul.” That night, the pain was so severe that I could not take even a single step. Even the slightest pressure on the top of my foot caused tearing pain, and putting weight on it even briefly was unbearably painful. I had no choice but to get around using a wheelchair my son brought home. During that time, I deeply reflected on my faith before God. I remembered the moments when I had been late for worship or dozed off during prayer and repented with tears. I received Dr. Jaerock Lee’s and Senior Pastor Soojin Lee’s recorded prayer for the sick. When I went to church on Sunday, pastor Deokbun Seo prayed for me earnestly. During the prayer, my foot began to throb and feel hot, and after the prayer ended, I slowly stood up from the wheelchair and was able to take one step, then another.

The next day, October 13, I went with my family to Samsung Medical Center in Seoul for further tests. After reviewing the X-rays, the doctor said, “You don’t need surgery. A cast alone will be sufficient for recovery.” The moment I heard that surgery was unnecessary, my heart overflowed with gratitude to God. From then on, the pain subsided rapidly, and even with the cast on, I was able to manage household chores. On Sunday, November 2, I asked pastor Soojin Lee to pray that my bones would heal properly, and she laid hands directly on the injured area and prayed. At my follow-up exam at Samsung Medical Center the next day, the doctor remarked, “The bones have healed remarkably well in such a short time,” expressing amazement at the speed of recovery. I give all thanks and glory to God, who protected me from more serious injury and healed me completely without surgery in such a short time.
