Deaconess Eunjung Ham, aged 35, 3-32 Parish in South Korea

On May 19 in 2014, my son Seongkyul came home with his right hand swollen. I thought he simply had injured it because he could move his fingers, so I just had him receive Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for the sick recorded on Automated Response System (822-830-5320).

His pain disappeared and swelling subsided with passing of time. So I had no regard and my son didn't suffer much because he is left handed.

But my husband, Deacon Minwoo Ko who is a physical therapist, suggested having him be X-rayed saying Seongkyul's thumb didn't look normal. On May 31, we went to an orthopedic hospital. The doctor said his thumb had been fractured and the growth plate was damaged. He put a cast on his thumb and recommended us to go to another bigger hospital.

On June 3, we went to a hospital specializing in spine and joints. The X-ray revealed that the metacarpal bone of his thumb and the growth plate had been fractured as expected. The doctor said that injuries to first or second phalanx of thumb are common and it is his first time to see a child who fractured the metacarpal bone of the thumb except for an adult's case in the past.

He added that a pin insertion might be needed for his broken thumb and recommended us to go to a university hospital with his written opinions. Pastor Miyoung Lee, my Great Grand Parish Pastor had told us that it was a good opportunity for us to look back upon our past Christian lives. Just as she said, we fasted and repented feeling the love of God. I repented that I had fulfilled my duty as a cell leader without joy, my husband repented that he hadn't raised Seongkyul in the truth, and Seongkyul repented that he hadn't worshiped in spirit and truth and fought with his friends.

On June 5, my son and I received Dr. Lee's prayer for the sick on ARS and went to an orthopedic hospital for children in a university hospital. Because I knew God always wants to give us only good things, I felt peace in my heart and then became assured of his healing. As I believed, his X-ray showed that fractured parts had knit together well and no abnormality was found in his growth plate. It is amazing that it took him only less than two days to become normal. Hallelujah!

The next day, before Friday All-night Service, my son received Dr. Lee's prayer in person. Then, he came to move his thumb freely as if it hadn't been injured. This incident served as an opportunity for my family to experience the love of God and increase faith.
We give all thanks and glory to God.
