"Israel is experiencing revival in the love and encouragement of Dr. Jaerock Lee"
Pastor Shlomy Abramov (Crown of Jewels Church, Rishon Le Zion, Israel)
I give my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Jaerock Lee who has led Israel to the great blessing of God by spreading the holiness gospel throughout every corner of Israel for three years beginning in 2007 and conducting Israel United Crusade 2009. His ministry awakened Messianic Jews in Israel, so the churches have been revived. Crystal Forum (Israeli Pastors' Association) was organized and is now actively conducting its ministry. It could only have been done through Dr. Lee's unsparing support and love.
Many other pastors from all over the world visited Israel, but there has been no one like Dr. Lee who loves Israel with the heart. I could feel that God sent for us, God's Elect, Israel.
Moreover, my wife was healed of pneumonia by his prayer. My wife was supposed to have an urgent operation for cholecystitis, but she was healed by prayer transcending space and time from Dr. Lee. My mother was in a nursing house and could not walk because she had fallen and was injured. But she came to walk after spraying Muan Sweet Water (Exodus 15:25).
Dr. Lee is our father and our best friend. He understands Israel better than anybody else and helps us to find the way of salvation. I give thanks to Dr. Lee who has achieved God's providence with unchanging love towards Israel. I also extend heartfelt thanks to Manmin members who always pray for us.
"I will repay His grace for raising me with love"
Brother Dongho Kim (4th Young Adults' Mission)
I studied cartoons in a university and now I am teaching students in an art academy. I came to enjoy this kind of stable and blessed life, which is all in the grace of the Lord. When I was a fifth grader my family and I had a hard time when my father's business went bankrupt.
In October 1996, all family members registered in Manmin Central Church. I received a scholarship from the church from middle school until graduation from college. It was all a result of Dr. Jaerock Lee's consideration of students in need because he wanted to encourage us. I knew that he did not spare anything for the church members, but it was not until I became a sophomore after being discharged from the army that I realized his love.
My Christian life was changed greatly. Before graduation from college, I shed a lot of tears with thanks due to the fact that I could become a member of our society without shame. Now I want to use my ability to draw cartoons for the kingdom of God. I want to be an internationally-recognized illustrator, through which I want to spread the love of the Lord and the gospel. I give all thanks and glory to God who has raised me with love.
"My life was struck with harsh reality, but now it is full of happiness"
Deaconess Sungae Oh (1-1 Parish)
I was born into a Christian family and I worked as a teacher in Sunday School and sang in the choir before marriage. However, I married an unbeliever and I stopped going to church. My husband worked in his own business related to trade, but he collapsed due to a stroke and passed away a month later. He even left a great amount of debt and it caused me a great trouble such as creditors' demands for the debts. In the end, I gave all his possessions including his business and apartment to the creditors' group. I did not want to burden my children who had already moved out. So I broke off all contact and just wandered around the whole country.
The series of such incidents shocked me so harshly. Because of it all my mouth was closed. I couldn't even think of words and talk to people except for very basic sentences. Six months after that, I visited my youngest daughter. Her situation wouldn't allow for us to live together so she provided me with a small room to live in and it was located in Garibong-dong in Guro-gu, Seoul.
I had thought about going to church again, so the following day I just went out to go to church and the church I found was Manmin Central Church. As soon as I went into the church, I became at peace and tears welled up and fell down my face. I heard Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages. Listening to the Word of God gave me comfort and hope, and my heart that was once quite dark became bright.
My Parish Pastor knew my difficulty and helped me receive the blessing of church charity. I was ashamed and sorry, but it was great strength to me since I had nothing and no one to rely on. My youngest daughter paid the rent and I could afford to buy food with the relief from the church. It stabilized my life. Also, the cell members took care of me with consideration and my heart became warm. Even though I am now 80 years old, I am leading a healthy and happy Christian life. I give thanks and glory to God the Father and the Lord, and I extend heartfelt thanks to Senior Pastor.
