God Gave Hope to an Uneducated and Poor Person!

Brother Taewon Suk (Kwangju Manmin Church)

In 1982, I was at the fourth grade of the elementary school. One day I was participating in the athletic meeting. I attended the 200-meter relay as a runner, but in the middle of running, I got out of breath and felt severe pain in my chest. I fell down to the ground and when I woke up I was in bed in the hospital. I was diagnosed with angina.
To make matters worse, my father drank too much and exercised violence at home. As a result, my mother ran away from home leaving behind 5 children. Two years later my father passed away, and as the firstborn I gave up going to middle school and came to Seoul to earn money. I worked at many factories and restaurants, and had to go through humiliation and scorns from the people around me and shed many tears.
Intermittently I had to quit jobs because of angina. I felt severe pain in the chest and fell to the ground. Even the pounding of the heart stopped, and I was revived by the electric shock therapy. In November of 2008 I was guided to Kwangju Manmin Church by a brother. Many brothers and sisters of the church well-treated me though I was uneducated and nothing. I felt the good God who loves everyone without discrimination, and came to possess the hope for Heaven. While witnessing manifestations of God's power, I began to wish and pray to be healed of angina by faith.
In May of 2010, Kwangju Manmin Church was so busy in preparing for the One-day Blessing Crusade with Dr. Jaerock Lee. I was introspective and not in good health, but I joined in spreading the gospel and invitation cards for the one-day blessing crusade along with members of Young Adults' Mission. After that I could feel totally different grace of God. I couldn't believe in the existence of Heaven and Hell at first but after experiencing the grace, I came to realize the spiritual meanings of the word of God and determined to live by the Word.
On June 29, at last the One-day Blessing Crusade took place. The moment I entered the sanctuary, dizziness and pain on the chest disappeared and my body also became light. I sat on one of the pews that were assigned for the sick and looked into the face of Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. Instantly peace and joy came upon me and I became assured that I would be healed. After delivering the message, Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed for the sick from the podium. I received his prayer with saying "Amen!" He laid his hand on the sick people individually, and prayed for them once again.
When he laid his hand on and prayed for me, I felt he is not a usual man and something entered into my heart. At that moment my body became light and I felt like flying in the air. I was assured of healing.
Next day I got an ECG, and the result showed I was normal. Now while I run with strength, I do not get out of breath. I give my heartfelt thanks to God who gives comfort, strength, blessing and the hope for Heaven to anyone who believes and loves Him, uneducated or well-educated, poor or rich.
