When my older brother Yong-gook Jung experienced hemoptysis on Monday, April 3, 2006, his condition worsened immediately and we took him by ambulance to Kyunghee Medical Center, where he was soon hospitalized.
The doctor said my brother was suffering from acute respiratory failure of an unknown nature. The following evening, my brother lost consciousness and became 100% dependent on oxygen injection. When the doctor told us on the evening of April 5 that there was a little likelihood of my brother's survival, I became utterly hopeless while my mother, who began weeping, looked like she was about to faint.
That night, when Rev. Young-suk Kim visited us at the hospital and prayed earnestly for my brother with the handkerchief (Acts 19:11-12) on which Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed, my brother's lungs, which had been turning white, stopped its irregular activity. My mother and I attended "The Special 28-Day Prayer Meeting" at the Guri Branch Sanctuary and clung to God in prayer.  There, I rent my heart in repentance for not having attended the church even though I had joined Manmin in 2002 and had many firsthand experiences of the Living God, and not having been on good terms with my brother. I also repented on behalf of my brother.
On Friday, April 7, I received the Senior Pastor's prayer for my brother, who was no longer in danger of losing his life but still had not awakened from the coma.
"Father God, please place Your hand on this photograph. Let him wake up now."
The next day, the oxygen injection, which had been at 100%, dropped to 80% and there were signs of his recovery. My mother and I prayed all the more fervently for my brother and the Senior Pastor prayed again on his photograph on Friday, April 21.
Exactly 21 days after he was admitted to the hospital, my brother responded to the conversation I was having with my mother. His condition improved so rapidly afterwards that in four days, he was moved to a regular bedroom and finally on May 8, he left the hospital, as healthy as he had ever been. Hallelujah!
