The doctors of WCDN were examining the health state of the elderly staying in Manmin Welfare Center. The members of Hair Designers Mission who have been providing their service to them for 17 years, were trimming hair of the elderly with all their hearts.
On January 15, doctors of WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network) visited the Manmin Welfare Center for the Elderly in Anseong, Gyung-gi and provided medical care to the patients living there.
On the day, the doctors checked the blood pressure and blood sugar of the people in the center. They treated the sick people in the center and also provided consultation services concerning surgery, internal diseases, family medicine, and mental illness. They also closely examined those who couldn't get about.
The elderly patients expressed thanks to the doctors who came all the way to the center from Seoul. A 79-year-old-man named Choon-bal Lim said, "I give thanks to the doctors for coming to us and taking care of us." A 61-year-old-woman named Soon-deok Park testified, "I feel much better and thankful to the doctors. I have been healed of many diseases by the prayer of Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee."
Elder Gilbert Y. Chae, President of WCDN said, "WCDN wants to pay back the grace of the Lord by regularly helping the neglected and the poor on holidays. We, the members of WCDN, have learned from the life of Dr. Lee who has always helped and supported people in need. We just did what we learned from him. I hope that this service will serve a good opportunity for many of them to again place themselves into the care of the loving arms of the Lord."
The members of Hair Designer Mission came together with them on the same day. They carefully trimmed the elderly people's hair, which made them feel better and brightened their hearts. An 81-year-old-woman named Ahn Jang happily said, "I have been here since last year, but I haven't had my hair permed because I couldn't move about easily. But now the Manmin members came here and permed my hair."
The members also were filled with joy serving them. Deaconess Mal-Lae Lee, a 44-year-old-woman who has helped people in the center with hair trimming since the opening of Manmin Welfare Center 17 years ago said, "I am happy when I come here to serve them. It allowed for me to fulfill my life duties all the better."
Elder Byung-yong Han, president of Manmin Welfare Center addressed the volunteers saying, "Because you good and precious people came here in the early days of this New Year the blessings and joy seemed to overflow. The doctors of WCDN and hair designers comforted the elderly here and gave strength to them."
As an interdenominational organization of Christian doctors, WCDN has analyzed divine healing cases that have occurred all around the world using medical data and have shown the intervention of the living God and demonstrated the authenticity of the Bible based on the data. By doing so, the organization has awakened many educated people.
