From my childhood, I lived in the painful and difficult history of my people Israel. My grandparents and parents, both of them underwent a terrible experience by the hands of the Nazis in Germany. My grandfather, a rabbi, was taken away by Nazis and never returned home. My grandfather-in-law was killed along with many other Jews in the middle of Holocaust. Grandmother successfully escaped with her two children (one of them is my mother) from the hands of the Nazis and reached the border between Poland and Ukraine, where their lives, as Jews, were not easy, either. In my young days I worked as a physical therapist based in Jerusalem. One day one of my friends invited me to a Christian meeting through some volunteers who came from the Netherlands. I went there without any special expectation but I found myself in a comfortable and warm atmosphere. I could see how they served and respected each other out of love and it touched my heart. As time passed, I attended the meeting regularly with my friend. It took much time for me to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ which they always emphasized at the meetings. I couldn't either understand or believe that Jesus redeemed mankind from their sins as the Messiah and Savior for the Jews and all men. Like all other Jewish people who know that we are God's Elect, I thought Jews had much more knowledge about God and the prophets. One year after I attended the meeting, I accepted Jesus as the Messiah and my faith began growing up by the help of the Holy Spirit indwelling me. A short while later, at one of the meetings a brother approached me and asked forgiveness with tears. He said that his parents were from Nazis Officers who were living in Austria. He asked for my forgiveness about his people having committed horrible things against the Jews during Nazis time. My heart melted down and we embraced each other with love. At that very single moment the Holy Spirit moved and we were reconciled to each other in the love of God, and through repentance we were put into liberty. I was released from the hidden anguish of pain and hatred that I'd carried in my heart. In 1991, I worked as a model and was given a chance to enter a famous agency in the North America (D & G). The contract fee was 42,000.00 NIS (New Israeli Shekels, which is equivalent to around US $10,000.00) per month. I expected it was the first gate to my success for riches, fame, and honor. But I had known the hypocrisy and emptiness in the fashion world, so I couldn't make a decision easily. One day I heard a voice telling me, "I created everything, now choose only one, life or death!" I looked around, but there was no one. A sudden fear from my whole being came like a strong rushing wind and I felt that God speaking to me in a deep way. I meditated on this question with fear and trembling and after a short time, I decided to quit everything related to the modeling job, and abandoned the ambition of riches, fame and honor. I determined to dedicate my life to the Lord. On the same week I was baptized and born again as a new creation of God. I served God as an evangelist inside the land of Israel for three years. Meantime, by the grace of God I met my wife Vered-Chen Rozen and our only daughter Adiel was born. While we served at one Messianic evangelical ministry in Jerusalem, through fervent prayer and fast, we realized we needed to train prayer warriors who would be able to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and make ready the way of the Lord. In 2004, "Living Stone Church" was established in Tel Aviv, Israel. One year later a few branches of the Living Stone Church were opened in Cyprus as well as in the Philippines, Florida of USA and Kazakhstan. I've taught my church members to intercede for Israel and its government, and for the Jewish people to receive Jesus as their personal Savior. I delivered messages on Holiness, Sanctification and the Restoration of man's identity in the name of Jesus Christ. My wife and I were ordained as pastors in the State of Minnesota, USA in 2006.

In February of 2008, I had a chance to meet a special servant of God, Dr. Jaerock Lee by the guidance of Pastor Daniel Matiash. It was a short meeting, but I was so touched by his humbleness and love. Tears fell down from my eyes for I felt the heart of our Heavenly Father from him. The compassion and meekness that I saw on him was extraordinary. His special love for the Jewish people and the land of Israel is so unique and immeasurable. During his three years of ministry in Israel, until he conducted the 2009 International Multi-Cultural Festival in Jerusalem, Dr. Jaerock Lee showed miraculous signs by the power of God and confirmed Jesus Christ is our only Savior to the Jews and all mankind. It was so touching to me. After I read The Measure of Faith one of his books, I understood more that our dwelling place in Heaven is different according to how much we accomplished the heart of the Lord. Reading his book added me a desire to press on toward New Jerusalem, the best dwelling place in Heaven. When I delivered the messages with his books The Measure of Faith, Heaven 1&2 at branch churches in Israel, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, Cyprus and Bulgaria, and at a few associative churches, I saw the churches experiencing revivals. I attended the worship services of Manmin Central Church via the live webcasting at Manmin TV (www.manmintv.org), and frequently visited the websites of Manmin Central Church to arm myself with the gospel of sanctification. I also witnessed the same power of God manifested during the New Testament time is being manifested through the handkerchief that Dr. Jaerock Lee prays on. In this year of 2010 I held many healing meetings in Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Hong-Kong and Italy. When I flew to Torino and Pelirolo of Italy, a day before I delivered the message of sanctification, I presented to the leadership of the two churches 'The Power of God' DVD and it touched their hearts. During the healing meeting with 800 attendees in total—many newcomers as well as church members, I prayed them with the handkerchief and surely the Holy Spirit moved. Many repented of their sins with tears: a lesbian fell on the altar in repentance and recovered her identity as a believing woman, and on the following meeting she brought her friends and they received Jesus Christ. At that evening meeting, the ears that couldn't hear for months were restored, and lives of people were changed. Whenever I led the meetings, I distributed Dr. Lee's autobiography My Life My Faith I to pastors. And I explained that the believers enter different places of Heaven according to the level of faith and the measure of Christ-likeness, and then gave them Dr. Lee's book Heaven I & II. When I shared 'The Power of God' DVD with them, they were so happy and encouraged. In Kazakhstan I spread the holiness gospel to the five churches which I had spiritually covered as senior pastor for almost 3 years. After that, a senior female Kazakhstani pastor, Pastor Rozel Makhatayeva attended Dr. Jaerock Lee's International Multi–cultural Festival in Israel in 2009 where she witnessed miracles, signs and wonders happening. She and I held revival healing meetings with the holiness gospel of Jesus Christ and the handkerchief and we used it in praying for people. God's powerful works were amazingly manifested and people received healing and answer to their prayers and problems. Two couples who had struggle and problem in their marriage and were at the edge of separation got reconciled at the meeting. Church members started reading Dr. Lee's books and listening to his messages on MP3 and by watching on the television. Changes happened in their lives and the church experienced great revival. They were so blessed hearing the holiness gospel and receiving miracles in their lives. Short while later church leaders decided to be in partnership with Manmin Central Church, Seoul Korea through the holiness gospel. As a messenger from Zion I continue travelling around the globe and trying my best to comfort and restore the brokenhearted through the holiness gospel and the love of Jesus Christ the only one Lord and the Savior of mankind.
