Sister Lushima Tyty, age 52, Kinshasa Manmin Church, DR Congo
On January 6, 2017, I felt a sudden pain in my eyes. I was so dizzy that I couldn't go to work and lay sick in bed. The next day, when I woke up in the morning, I found out that I couldn't see. I was so shocked. With the help of my family, I went to hospital and had many tests including CT scan of my brain. But the doctor said since the cause was unknown there was no way to cure it. I fell into despair.
I talked about it with my brother, Lundula Jimmy, a chargé d'affaires of DR Congo embassy in Korea. He consulted World Christian Doctors Network of Manmin Central Church. They said it could be blindness caused by retinal artery closure. After three weeks passed, I became more frustrated and wanted to give up on everything.
In the meantime, Pastor Jacob Lee ministering to Kinshasa Manmin Church which is the branch church of Manmin Central Church, came to my house on January 26 after he heard about my illness. He prayed for me with the handkerchief on which Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed (Acts 19:11-12). He advised me to listen to Dr. Lee's sermon "The Message of the Cross", prepare myself with prayer and fasting, and receive Dr. Lee's prayer through my brother. I did what he told me to do and prepared myself.
On January 28, my brother visited Dr. Lee to greet him during Korean Lunar New Year's holidays and he received the Senior Pastor's prayer on my picture on my behalf. Two days later, I started to see light that was like candle light in my right eye. Since then both of my eyes recovered little by little and I came to see things in front of me. Hallelujah!
I was so pleased that I registered in Kinshasa Manmin Church and became a Manmin member. My eyes continued to recover. I came to distinguish colors and read letters well. Now my eyes are normal. I feel like I was born again.
I give thanks to Senior Pastor who prayed for me with love. The God of Manmin healed me although I did not receive the prayer myself and he prayed for me in Korea which is very far away from my country. God is truly amazing!
