Sister Ximena Cabrera, age 41, Colombia Manmin Church

I had led a believing life for a long time, but it felt like my heart was not satisfied. I felt spiritually thirsty and used to pray to God saying, "God, I want to be a true Christian. Let me meet the true shepherd who delivers the Word of God in truth and deed."

In 2010, I had a car accident. A car was running at the full speed behind me. It hit my car very hard. It hurt my neck and my second cervical vertebra was fractured. I had to wear a cast to support my neck. I couldn't move my neck and slept sitting up. The pain was so serious. I can't put it into words.

One Sunday, I happened to watch the sermon program of Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Central Church and his prayer on Enlace TV (a leading Christian TV station for Spanish-speaking people). I listened to just a part of the sermon, but I thought his sermon and prayer were so beautiful. I came to wait for the next Sunday.

It finally came, and I listened to Senior Pastor's sermon again. It was his sermon series "The Message of the Cross". It spiritually shocked me. It was such a spiritually profound message that I had heard for the first time in my life. I received a lot of grace without realizing the passage of time.

After the sermon, he told the viewers to 'lay your hands on your sick parts.' I laid my hands on my neck and received the prayer. And something unexpected occurred. Right after the prayer, my pain was gone and I came to move my neck forward, backward, and left and right. It happened just in an instant. Hallelujah!

I had my cast removed not long afterwards and came to sleep comfortably on the pillow. I was so happy and thankful that I looked up the website of Manmin Central Church and began to offer the worship services. In December 2010, I registered as a member of Manmin.

Afterwards, a branch church of Manmin was opened in Colombia in January 2012, and I joined. Now my children and I go to the church together and we are full of hope for heaven. I give all thanks and glory to God who blessed us to meet the shepherd of power. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Senior Pastor who prayed for me.
