Deaconess Minhwa Lee, age 59, Chinese Parish 1, South Korea

I am sixty but these days I often hear that I am attractive and have a positive image. I never heard I was pretty or beautiful even once when I was young. So it is really amazing to hear such a compliment. I think it is because I am living day by day in the Lord with a fluttering heart.

I was born in a remote town in Kirin, China. While I was living as an ordinary housewife, I was met with an unexpected accident. In spring of 2003, I was standing on the chair to tidy up and organize the closet. Then the chair collapsed, and it led to a big accident and caused a spinal fracture and damage on my internal organs and uterus.

The doctor told me that it would be worse after the surgery and I might be crippled. I was not able to cover the cost of the surgery, so I had to return home. Later I had severe pain in my back and abdomen as though needles were poking me. So, I had to wear the waist supporter. When I worked a little, retroperitoneum filled my abdomen and I could do nothing. My daughter, who was watching me living in pain, urged me to go to South Korea and have surgery.

In October 2006, I came to Korea and began preparing for the surgical cost. One day a few church workers from Manmin Central Church visited and told me about God's works. They said, "In our church, countless people have been healed of their diseases including terminal diseases by receiving our Senior Pastor's prayer." As I heard it, my ears widely opened.

On November 19, 2006, I registered in Manmin Central Church. I felt like I was in Heaven because the sanctuary was so bright and beautiful. The church members served me with love and my heart was moved. Through the sermons, I came to know God the Creator and the love of the Lord who is my Savior. And I learned that I should demolish the wall of sins against God to receive His answer.

With an earnest desire for God's healing, I looked back upon my past life and repented. I repented that I had worshipped idols and judged and condemned people around me. After that, I felt refreshed and became assured that I would be healed.

In spring 2007, I received Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer. Right then the fire of the Holy Spirit came upon me. My whole body became hot, and that night I felt more serious pain in my back than usual and I even had pain in my bones. It was the process of God's surgery through the power of the Holy Spirit. The pain lasted for four days, and on around the twentieth day, all my pains were gone and I felt refreshed.

As much as I led a proper Christian life, I have become healthier and healthier. I give all thanks and glory to God who gave me a new life. Hallelujah!
