Reading Manmin News and listening to the Lectures on Genesis

In the spring of 2004, I ministered to a church in Daejeon, Chungnam Province. After visiting my church members, on my way home I saw Manmin News at the entrance of my apartment. Reading it, I could not help but to be astounded by powerful works which had healed fatal diseases.
I thought to myself, 'The church clearly shows the power of God. Why do people get such a wrong impression of this church?' I wanted to know the reason and looked up more information on the church's website (www.manmin.org). I looked it all thoroughly, but I found that there was no significant difference from other churches. I even received grace through the contents on the website and started to become interested in the church more than before.
In the meantime, I listened to Dr. Jaerock Lee's lecture on Genesis. I began to be fascinated by his spiritual lecture which clearly explained amazing mysteries embedded in God's creation. While listening to the explanation on 'God the Origin', 'the Garden of Eden', 'The Reason Why God Placed the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil', 'Pyramids', and 'Dinosaurs' I came to look up to Dr. Lee even though I had never seen him before.
I was overwhelmed with amazement seeing visual data such as rainbows, Muan Sweet Water, handkerchiefs of power, and movement of stars. The grace and emotion led me to the spiritual realm which I would never have known. It was such a blessing that I had the opportunity to know the core of Truth.


Experiencing healing works and trying hard to put on the armor of God's Word

In the autumn of 2004, I was hospitalized because of severe pain in my stomach. I was diagnosed as having a kidney stone. The pain was relieved by primary care, but I suffered from the pain again and again every two or three weeks. One day, serious pain came to me while I was behind the wheel.
I collapsed in the car and prayed. At that time, Dr. Lee's face came to my mind. His message traveled straight to my heart. He said that we only have to rely on God if we truly have spiritual faith. It was a shame that I had not trusted God and followed the worldly methods even though I was a pastor. I prayed crying out in desperate agony.
"Father God! I will never again seek medical care. I love Dr. Jaerock Lee even though I have never seen him in person. Please heal me of my disease." To my surprise, the pain disappeared after the prayer. The stone in my kidney came out through urination 2 days later. I have enjoyed a healthy life since. From then on, I came to long for Dr. Lee and Manmin Central Church more than ever.
I visited the church to buy Dr. Lee's books such as The Message of the Cross, Heaven I & II, and Hell and his sermon tapes entitled 'The Measure of Faith', 'The World of Evil Spirits'. I started to read and study them. I was filled with grace and emotion listening to the messages. I had been in a thirst which could not be satisfied by anything while doing my ministry, but the message satisfied the thirst and filled me with new strength.


I thoroughly repented that I had lacked a sense of duty as a servant of the Lord

I graduated from Yonsei University and studied business administration. In February 1978, I joined the army as an officer through ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps). I had to leave the army because of a tubercular lymphadenitis. At the moment, I looked back on my life filled with worldly things even though I was born in a Christian family. I repented and held on to God. He led me to fast and pray for 7 days. During my prayer, God moved my heart urging me to become a servant of the Lord.
However, it was not easy to take the road as a servant of the Lord because I had been quite ambitious. But my disease still troubled me a lot, so I confessed to God that 'if you heal me and let me experience the fire of the Holy Spirit, I will be a servant of the Lord'. I gave Him 3-day vowed fasting. On the very next day, I received the fire of the Holy Spirit and was cured during my prayer. I even saw the light coming down from above. I finally decided to become a servant of the Lord with joy.
I conducted quite a successful ministry and ministered to a big church where thousands of members attended. I had, however, difficulties in my ministry because I lacked strength in terms of prayer and the Word of God. I even did not have clear sense of duty. In the end, when an acquaintance said that he would help me become a professor in a university, I accepted his suggestion.
In May 2005, I ended up resigning as a presiding pastor. However, it turned out to be hard to become a professor. Afterwards, I could lead a rather free Christian life for 2 years in Seoul. I attended Sunday evening service, Daniel prayer meeting, and Friday all-night service of Manmin Central Church. In March of 2008, I registered as a member.
While listening to Dr. Lee's sermon through Internet, I heard that there is a possibility to go to Hell if we did not fulfill our duties. I repented of my past life as a servant of the Lord with tears. I wanted to become a servant of the Lord of Manmin Central Church which was filled with power, love, and peace like the early churches.


After participating in MMTC program and working as a short-term missionary in Kenya

I felt like God tested my heart. One day, I was asked to minister to another church with good conditions of benefit. I also received a call telling me they wanted a pastor who majored in business administration. However, I was not swayed by such things because I had longed to spread the truth in genuine and active ways.
In May 2009, I joined the 19th vision trip to Russia and Finland which was a program of MMTC (Manmin Missionary Training Center). On October 25th, I was commissioned to Nairobi, Kenya and trained as a short-term missionary for 11 months. I could feel the power of the holiness gospel and see God's powerful works in such a faraway country. I also realized that I should follow spiritual order, obey it, and demolish fleshly thoughts.
In 2011, I received God-given duty as a parish leader of the 14-2 parish. I feel like I am in a dream. It is a miracle and blessing in my life. I give thanks to God with tears. Today I am very happy taking care of members of my parish, and today I am running this true race and praying to become a servant who the Lord really wants.
