Elder Hongki Park(1-4 Parish, Advisor of Lee & Ko Law Firm)
I was healed of pollution disease by my senior pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer
In 1991, when I was in my early thirties, pollution disease (cerebrospinal neuritis, chronic fatigue syndrome) overtook me. I tried to recover from it for several years and the condition just got worse. In 1996 I took leave from work in the Fair Trade Commission and I struggled with the disease. I spent my days in desperation.
One day, I happened to read Manmin News the church newspaper left at the door and felt amazed by the testimony of a believer who had been healed of terminal cancer. Sometime later, I also saw Dr. Jaerock Lee's book Tasting Eternal Life before Death at Jongro Bookstore. I bought it and read it with tears in my eyes all night. I came to have hope that I could be healed of my disease. On June 22, 1997, I registered in Manmin Central Church with my family.
I became acquainted with Dr. Lee's message explaining that diseases came from sins and learned that we have to repent and live by the Word of God in the Bible to get healed. From then, I started to make an effort to obey the Word in the Bible and Dr. Lee's teachings and then I received his prayer. As a result, I was completely healed of pollution disease and I have been living a healthy life now for 17 years.
I achieved the heart of spirit while trying to live by the Word of God
With a grateful heart to God for healing my disease, I talked about God the Healer to my family, relatives, and friends. More than 70 family members and relatives registered in Manmin and they are leading an earnest Christian life. How thankful it is!
Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee clearly taught the will of God the Father through his messages. He kept teaching us that the ultimate purpose to lead a Christian life is not just reaching salvation, but to become God's true children. That is, we must become sanctified and holy people who are proper in the will of God.
I realized that the thing God really wants us to be is His true children who have no sinful natures and are not committing sins in action. Thus, I endeavored to become sanctified to repay the grace and led my family and relatives to the way of salvation. I tried my best to obey the Words telling us to do, not to do, to keep, and to do something.
On December 25 in 2011, I ended up achieving the heart of spirit appropriate in the will of God with the power of Dr. Lee's intercession for believers. I have been happy with peace and joy feeling Heaven in my heart.
Showing an exemplary Christian life and fulfilling many duties
I began organizing study groups for sanctification because I wanted the members of Sub-district Leaders Association and Finance Department to feel true happiness in their Christian lives as the leaders.
For the eight months from November in 2012 to June in 2013, I gathered with around 40 sub-district male leaders every Sunday. We studied the Bible from 8:30 A.M. to 9:30 A.M. Soon approximately 200 people including the members of Finance Department and other church members who also longed to attend, studied the Bible and prayed from 7:20 P.M. to 8:20 P.M. on Sundays from April to November 2013. Their fervor and efforts for sanctification resulted in many of them standing on the rock of faith and a few coming into spirit.
II increased love for souls while visiting workers' homes and meeting them. Also, I was invited to the lecture at the Levite workers' (church's full time workers) meetings, the Cell Group Service for Men's Mission, and many missions. I preached the message in the meetings. God gave me grace and strength so that I could fulfill many duties diligently.
On June 27 in 2013, I was also selected as Vice Chairman of United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ and came to devote myself to the kingdom of God. On December 29, I also received the Certificate of Merit during the Annual General Assembly of the church. God gave me great blessing both in spirit and body seeing me try to work for the kingdom of God and become sanctified.
Blessings overflowed in my family, workplace, and health
Moreover, God has protected me to stay healthy so that I have not gone to hospital since I registered in Manmin Central Church. In 2011, I had eyesight 0.9/0.9, but I gained better eyesight 1.2/1.2 in 2013.
I also went back to work after being healed of pollution disease. I tried my best to work earnestly, and was selected as an exemplary civil servant in the Board of Audit and Inspection. Since 2010, in the blessing of God, I have worked at Lee & Ko which is a large law firm.
The Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Practice Group of Lee & Ko is recognized as having one of Asia's finest M&A practice handling the most renown high-end deals ensuring its position as the undisputed market leader in Korea and throughout Asia. And God has blessed me to bear prosperous fruit in the fair trade case of which I am in charge.
My family is leading a diligent Christian life towards New Jerusalem. My wife Senior Deaconess Mihyung Cho is working as a district leader in the 4th parish and a secretary of Women's District Leaders' Association for the church's revival. My son Brother Jongseok Park, who is a senior studying sociology in Korea University, strives to concentrate on his study to be used for the kingdom of God. My daughter Sister Sunyoung Park graduated from her university studies in August 2013, and she got a job with an outstanding company through open recruitment 2013. Now she is trying to become a more skillful worker.
We give all thanks and glory to God. I once had no hope due to the painful diseases, but God let me receive overflowing blessings both in spirit and body.
