I can't forget the last summer camp where I recovered my first love for the Lord

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior in my college days, but gradually compromised with the world and finally didn't attend the service on the Lord's Days. In the July of 2003, I was guided to Manmin Joong-ang Church by a friend of mine and there I gained spiritual and living faith through the life-filled messages and powerful works confirming the messages. Then, true peace and happiness overflowed in my life.

One day I heard at church that a 4-day summer camp would take place from August 4 th . I hoped that I could join the summer camp and recover my first love for the Lord. But in fact it seemed that my company's situation was not going to permit me to go there at all.
My department had to prepare for the financial data reports and send them in to the Financial Supervisory Service, so none of leaders and staff could take summer leave till August 15 th. But I was so eager for my church's summer camp that I received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer for the sick for my heart's desire at the Sunday worship service and courageously asked for an appointment with executive director.

I asked him, "Sir, I will surely finish my task by the 2 nd of August. So, please let me take leave on the 3 rd ." "What? Really? OK! Go ahead!" I exclaimed. Unexpectedly but willingly he permitted me to take the leave. I gave up going home and concentrated on my task going to office and stayed at a rest house. I had finished my task on August 2, and on the next day I joined summer camp.

When I attended the spiritual education program and the prayer meeting at the summer camp, I repented of my past sinful days in the midst of many young adults and became full of the Holy Spirit. And I was amazed to hear of miraculous healings. Various events including praising contests, performing arts festivals, sports games, and the camp fire all followed, and we sang praises to the Lord and had happy fellowship.

My job was on computer programs and I had usually enjoyed playing computer games. It was so much that I felt serious pains in my right shoulder. I ached when somebody touched it. On the third day of the summer camp, Mrs. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center put her hand on my sore part of my right shoulder and prayed, and I felt the fire of the Holy Spirit scorching it and then all pains were gone.

At the summer camp, I became renewed in spirit and recovered the first love for the Lord. After I finished vacation that meant so much to me, I was soon promoted. In the latter part of the year I was awarded the prize of "Exemplary Staff Member".
