Sister Kazumi Akushichi
(Yamagata Manmin Church, Japan)

On August 12, 2007, I had a huge accident in which my car had a head-on collision with another car that crossed the center line. My face was severely damaged and my entire body was injured. I was taken to an emergency care unit and received a major surgery. After wandering near death for 3 days, I regained my consciousness. The police officer who was in charge of the accident said with a surprise, "I have seen no one survive in that kind of accident throughout 43 years of my life as a policeman telling me that the accident was due to the negligence of the other driver.
I had facial paralysis and my body ached like I was beaten all over. I had to undergo physical therapy, but the recovery was unclear, and it took many days and I suffered considerable pain.
In January, 2009, one of acquaintances visited me in the hospital. She introduced Yamagata Manmin Church to me and suggested that I go there with her. At that time, I was watching worship services broadcast on CBS (Christian Broadcasting System) in the internet, so I wanted to worship in a sanctuary. On the same week, I visited Yamagata Manmin Church and attended the service.
Yamagata Manmin Church is one of the branch churches of Manmin Central Church in Japan. They were attending worship services through satellite TV. I was deeply touched by Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's message, so I listened to his sermons on the Manmin Central Church's website, and bought and read his books. I lived each day with thankfulness and the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
In September of the year, as I watched the Israel United Crusade led by Senior Pastor through internet live-broadcast, I experienced God's healing works.



She miraculously survived in an accident in which her car collided with another vehicle that crossed the center line, but the aftereffects tormented her for a long time.

She prays with her heart's desire dipping herself into Muan Sweet Water.

On the first day, I was healed of my knees and came to kneel down. On the second day, I was healed of my kidney, so I no longer had difficulty in urinating.
After these experiences, I wanted to go to Korea and firsthand see Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. On May 31, I was given a chance to visit Korea and stayed there for 2 weeks. I prepared for the visit with a longing heart and fasting and went to Manmin Central Church.
Surprisingly, from the second day of my stay in Korea, God began to heal the aftereffects of the accident one by one. After I received a handkerchief prayer from Pastor Sooyul Cho during the Dawn Prayer Meeting on June 1, the paralysis around my forehead was gone. The next day, I met the Senior Pastor whom I had been looking forward to seeing, and I was overwhelmed with indescribable feelings.
On June 3, I visited Muan Sweet Water site. After I dipped myself in Muan Sweet Water seven times, I gazed at the sun hoping that I could see angels. Then I saw a thick stick shining with white light. As it came down upon me from the sky, it looked like a sword. It became longer and longer until it approached near my face. And again, it appeared like a cross surrounded with pink light. I was thrilled and felt the presence of the Lord.
When I came back to my room and looked at myself in the mirror. My face that had looked just pale was restored, and wrikled parts were flattened. Seeing this, members who came with me rejoiced together and glorified God.
On the following day, June 4, before the Friday All-night Service, I told Senior Pastor about what had happened in Muan Sweet Water site and received his prayer. After this prayer, the paralysis on the rest part of my face—around my eyes and lips—had perfectly gone, and I was totally set free from all the aftereffects of the car accident. Hallelujah!
