Sister Boksun Choi, age 62, Tokyo Manmin Church, Japan

After I finished studying theology, I opened a church in Okinawa, Japan in 2010. In the meantime, I happened to listen to Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermons on the Internet. The messages gave me great grace and touched my heart. One day, while I was praying at home, I saw a vision. A ray of light shone and Dr. Lee appeared. He said to me, "Pray more and be patient."

This spiritual experience gave me assurance. I contacted Tokyo Manmin Church and asked for Dr. Lee's books. Reading them, I was so much blessed and I gave the books to my church members. Through the precious message I realized that it is a grave sin to misunderstand and judge a church that manifests God's powerful works.

In August 2011, I went to South Korea, and repented and asked for his forgiveness before Dr. Lee. He prayed for me. Back at home, I continued listening to his messages and attending Daniel Prayer Meeting at home on the Internet with my church members. My husband and the members attended Manmin Summer Retreat, and a member who had not been able to walk due to diabetes came to walk.

One afternoon in December 2014, I started to vomit blood. It lasted even until 5:30 A.M. next day, so I lost all my strength. But thankfully, Senior Pastor showed up in my dream and prayed for me. Afterwards, I stopped bleeding and regained strength.

In January 2015, I could not stand up suddenly due to dizziness. I was moved to hospital by ambulance and diagnosed with hepatocirrhosis. My body was swollen because I could not urinate, and there was fluid in my lung and I had severe jaundice. This caused me to have depression.

I was so ashamed to be sick as a pastor. Tears welled up often and I felt skeptical about my life. I could not minister to my church any longer. I let my members know about my situation and closed my church in May 2016. And I moved into my daughter's house in Tokyo. After it, my symptoms got worse and in January 2017, I heard a shocking diagnosis of liver cancer.

In March 2017, I began to attend Tokyo Manmin Church. I attended the main church's services on GCN. Pastor Byeongran Choi prayed for me with the handkerchief (Acts 19:11-12). As I felt peaceful both physically and mentally, my symptoms started to improve. As I listened to the messages as a layman, not a pastor, I found many things to repent of. I repented and felt so grateful to God for His love who led me to this church with the word of life.

In early May 2017, I offered up three-day fasting and prayer with longing to receive healing. I received Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick on GCN with faith during worship services. In late May, I went to hospital for re-examination and I saw a miracle. The cancer cells were gone! Hallelujah!

After I heard it from the doctor, I shouted out saying, "Hallelujah!" with joy and gave glory to God. I give all thanks and glory to God who healed me. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to Senior Pastor who let me live a renewed life through the precious message.
