Deacon Chunbeom Lee (3-30 Parish, South Korea)


In 2006, while working in the construction site, I fell in a puddle that was electrified and I received an electric shock. It harmed my right optic nerve. My eyesight had always been genetically bad, but when my optic nerve was damaged in the accident, I could not see well. I had to always be cautious when I crossed the street since I couldn't tell the colors of traffic lights. I often bumped into people on the street and frequently tripped over things.
In August 2009 I was diagnosed with optic atrophy and categorized as a person who is visually impaired with the 5th class of visual impairment (Reference: The 6th class is the most serious state of visual impairment). My optic nerve, which delivers visual information, atrophied and it might have led to amblyopia and loss of sight. Fear and frustration swept over me. But two months later, the light of hope reached me. I was guided to Manmin Central Church by Deaconess Kyungja Seol. The church was where the powerful works of God overflew.
When I went to the church, the scripture from Matthew 7:21 saying, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter…" stayed on my mind. It dawned on me that I had been leading an idle Christian life though I had attended church from the time I was very young.
From then on, I tried hard to practice the Word of God, keeping the whole Sabbath and giving proper tithe. After about six months had passed from the time I had first come to church, through Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, the God of love healed me of arthritis that had troubled both knees for ten years. I jumped for joy when I was set free from the long-lasting pain. How joyful and grateful I felt!
Afterwards, I prayed diligently in Daniel Prayer Meeting every night and summarized sermons whenever I had set aside the time. In the meantime I endeavored to understand the will of God all the more. On March 31, 2013, it was Easter Sunday, an amazing thing happened to me. I was watching Dr. Lee on the altar during the service. I saw rays of strong light shine and pour upon him. It was so dazzling that I could no longer continue to stare at it. I saw bright and brilliant lights while praying and praising in the sanctuary.
Furthermore, after the experience, I was able to read the small letters in the Bible easily without reading glasses. Now I can also distinguish the colors of traffic lights, so now I can cross the street without any difficulty. My working life also returned to normal. I praise the power of God who revived irreparably dead optic nerves. Hallelujah!
