 Deacon Jaesik Son (Busan Manmin Holiness Church)
I was always tied up at work as a normal salesman. Led by my wife, I registered at Busan Manmin Holiness Church in April, 1996, but I didn't have any spiritual experience.
In February 2003, I had this turning point in my Christian life. My father was sick in bed with cancer. The members of my family gathered their hearts for his salvation. Letting him receive Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, they held onto God with fasting and prayer. Finally, my father accepted the Lord. He saw Heaven with his spiritual eyes open, and a week later, he peacefully drew his last breath. Seeing this, I came to believe in the existence of Heaven and Hell. In addition, a few years ago, I was healed of urolithiasis by receiving the 'Prayer for the Sick' through ARS on the phone and my faith grew even more with this experience.
Working in 'A' Company, I carried out God-given duties as President of the 1st Men's Mission, a member of Construction Committee, Head of Transportation Department, Leader of the Choir and the like. One day, my wife and I received Senior Pastor's prayer with the prayer title, 'Bless me to become the head in my workplace.'
In May of 2006, I was appointed as the Manager of Gwangju Branch. I had to live far away from my family. But I later realized all of this was the way to blessing. At that time, the sales figures of Gwangju branch was the lowest of all domestic branches. The job was to sell pharmaceutical products that are distributed to hospitals or pharmacies. At first, I was really at a loss. I didn't know what to do in that unfamiliar city where I didn't have any acquaintances. Almost on a biweekly basis, I came to Busan and kept the Sabbath with my family and again left for Gwangju at 5 AM on Monday. I was lonely as well as tired.
The first thing I had to do was to increase the sales figures at the Gwangju branch. On Mondays, I arrived at the office earlier than others and started working by listening to the 'Day Staring Prayer' via the telephonic ARS. I changed the office into a cozy atmosphere so that the staff could work hard in a home-like environment. I tried to give strength and encourage them rather than to point out their mistakes or rebuke them. And I also took care of their family affairs so that their families might be in peace. Also I sent them on a domestic or overseas trip as a bonus or boost the morale through fellowship meetings such as mountain climbing and picnics. Particularly, I tried to make those who were treating customers work with a comfortable heart so that they could work to their full potentials. As a result, all the staffs were united as one in heart and tried their best in their work. The sale figure got increasingly higher and finally won the first place of all domestic branches in just three months I took charge of the branch. God did bless me as I acted according to the word.
One day I asked the head office if could transfer to Seoul or Daejeon branch I wanted to focus more on my God-given duties in Busan Manmin Holiness Church and spend more time with my family. The person in charge became rather embarrassed because I achieved excellent sales figures at Gwangju branch. He said there wasn't a position anymore. My wife always prayed for the growth of my faith and the workplace. She also didn't forget to go to Seoul and receive the prayer from Senior Pastor with faith on my behalf.
Finally, on February 1, 2009, I was appointed as the Manager of Daejeon branch. It was an answer to the prayer. I could go to Deajeon from Busan by KTX (Korea Train Express) and it only took 1 hour and 40 minutes. So, I was happy because I could do the church works more at Busan Manmin Holiness Church and have fellowship with the members.
While working at Daejeon branch, I received a significant position that I supported the Gwangju and Jeonju branches. Also, Deajeon branch had the lowest sales figures just like Gwangju branch had the lowest sales figures when I first started working there. Having learned know-how to God's blessing, I also worked diligently there praying and serving the staff. Surprisingly, this branch also won the first place in sales figures from April to December 2009.
That's not all, on January 1, I received a special promotion to a position where I managed 16 branches while working at the head office in Seoul. I give all the thanks and glory to God, and I also want to express thanks to Senior Pastor who prayed for me.
