 Blessing upon the Church and its Members as I Have Changed
After I saw my friend kill himself when I was young, I seriously asked myself this question 'What am I living for?' I became curious about other peoples' lives and began to study world literature. One day I was attracted to Christian lives while reading a book. Especially when I read about martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Lord, I wondered who the Lord is and what made them give their life for Him. So I started to read the Bible and go to church led by one of my colleagues. Finally, I entered seminary and while establishing a church, I became interested in the revival of Korean churches.
In the summer of 1995 I met Pastor Seungkil Ryu at a Mission Association for the Church Revival. He introduced the holiness gospel and the ministry of Manmin Central Church and suggested to me I visit the church. Later I visited the church and learned the secrets to its rapid revival and becoming a world-renowned church in a short period of time. I was so impressed and challenged.
Above all, the message of Dr. Jaerock Lee was surely different in their spiritual accuracy and depth. I realized that my knowledge and wisdom were very small. And I also could look back on my lukewarm faith. I repented from my heart having neglected God's word thinking 'As a creature how could humans possibly live by the Word of God?'
From that time on my faith and my ministry totally changed. To become a true servant of God who receives His protection and guidance, I've tried to accomplish sanctification. Praying fervently, I practiced the love and the service which are pleasing to God. Then, blessings came upon my church both in flesh and in spirit.
Members of my church tried to live by the Word and prayed fervently, so that they came to have faith along with certain hope for Heaven. And when I prayed for them with the handkerchief that Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed on, many diseases were healed. With answers and blessings from God, the faith of the members has been growing day by day. We are enjoying revival here in Japan where evangelism is very difficult. I sincerely ask for your prayers for Matsmoto Manmin Church and evangelization of Japan.

 The Allergy that I Suffered from for Thirty Years Disappeared
When I was working as a conductor on a bus 20 years ago, suddenly my face started to swell and I felt itchiness. The hospital said it was an allergy caused by gasoline.
Though I made every effort to be healed, it seemed to get better only temporarily. And the symptoms got more serious if I used soap, detergent and shoe polishes that contained volatile material.
I was covered with blisters on my hands and legs and all over my body. When I scratched the ooze came out and it made my clothes wet. Though I felt very uncomfortable, I had to bear it having no way of curing it.
On April 27th, 2008, I was guided to Mongolia Manmin Church by my second son. At that time I had a bad liver and heart so that both of my legs were swollen and I couldn't walk well. Missionary Batzorig, ministering pastor of Mongolia Manmin Church, prayed for me with the handkerchief Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed on, and I received healing and gave glory to God (Acts 19:11-12). This experience gave me faith and I also wanted to be healed of the allergy caused by gasoline. I attended the services by satellite from Manmin Central Church, Seoul Korea.
On November 28th, I sent prayer titles along with my picture to Seoul and received prayer for the sick through the screen from Dr. Jaerock Lee during the Special Divine Healing Meeting. Sweat ran down through my body and right at the moment I felt so hot and the blisters started to disappear from my hands. And in a few days the blisters that had spread all over my body disappeared completely. I give glory to God who joyfully accepted my prayer, fasting and offerings and perfectly healed me. Hallelujah!
