Sister Bomi Choi, age 35, Parish 6, Manmin Central Church

My son, Woobin, is now four years old. At the age of 38 months he still couldn't speak very well. When I said, "Woobin, this is a car. A car," he didn't follow my example and just said, "Yes." Other children at his age used verbs and postpositions but Woobin's utterances were not more than three words, which is typical of an 18- to 20-month-old child's level.

He often failed to communicate with his friends, so he would express his feeling with actions like shoving and pushing. On July 10, 2017, I finally took him to a pediatric hospital, and he was diagnosed with language development delay.

The doctor said he needed to receive language therapy, cognitive therapy, and even occupational therapy because his fine motor skills development had also been delayed. It would cost 1,000 dollars per month. The doctor advised me to register his disability because it would cost a lot. She added that if Woobin's problems were not treated properly at that moment, he would develop autism. I was seriously shocked. I did not know what to do for him. At that time, the church was accepting sick people's registration of those who prepared to be healed in the Manmin Summer Retreat 2017. I registered his name with the name of his disease, 'delayed language development'.

On August 7, I attended Manmin Summer Retreat 2017. During the Divine Healing Meeting, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed for the sick after the seminar. I received the prayer for Woobin. Right after the prayer, Woobin said to me, "Mom, where is my aunt? Is she gone?" He had never uttered a full sentence ever before. I was so amazed. On August 9, when Senior Pastor said he would pray for the sick again during Camp Fire Worship and Praise, Woobin folded his hands on his chest and said, "Pray". And he received the prayer saying, "Amen. Amen."

On August 10, with assurance of his healing, we went to the hospital and he underwent tests. The doctor said it was impossible for a child who had been in such a serious state a month before to improve that much within a month. She was really surprised. Since then, my son has talked much and improved language quickly. Hallelujah!

Not long after he was born, his heart had four holes due to atrioventricular septal defect but through Senior Pastor's prayer he was completely healed. I forgot the grace of God and forsook the will of God who wanted to lead me to a blessed life. I repented and engraved the love of the Lord who protects us in the shepherd's space.

I give all thanks and glory to God who never leaves me behind and leads me to the way of salvation and blessing and the Lord who redeemed me from sin. I also give thanks to Senior Pastor who prayed for us with great love.
