True Christians believe in the resurrection of the Lord, so they have hope for Heaven and naturally long to be renewed by the Word of God. Let's feel His great love and have more hope for resurrection by looking into several testimonies where God answered and blessed those who believe and obeyed Him.
"My Blind Eyes Gained Sight!"
Sister Margaret Atieno, age 15, with her mother in Kenya
I am a 7th grader living in Siyaya, about 400km from Nairobi in Kenya. On February 23, 2015, I had a severe headache during English class. Around noon, I suddenly lost my eyesight. I couldn't see anything. I panicked and was bewildered. It also surprised my friends. They took me to my teacher, but there was no way to deal with the problem. The next day nothing became different and I couldn't do anything for myself.
My mother was shocked and didn't know what to do. But she had faith in God, so she knelt down and prayed to God. She asked our neighbors and relatives to pray for me. Some told her to ask for sorcery but she did not waver.
I went to a nearby hospital with my mother and had a check-up. They couldn't find any cause for it, but just told us there was no way to cure my eyes.
Three days later one of my relatives visited us who had heard about my situation. She was the mother of Pastor Boaz who serves Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church. We had heard about the powerful works manifested through the handkerchief prayer (Acts 19:11-12). So we wanted to receive the prayer.
With her help, we were able to have contact with Bishop Dr. Myeongho Cheong who is ministering to Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church. Dr. Cheong urged us to repent of our wrongdoings first and prayed for me with the handkerchief on which Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Central Church had prayed. After the prayer, I tried to look at the Bible. At the moment, my vision became clear and the letters came to my eyes. Hallelujah!
I give all thanks and glory to the Lord who healed me of my blindness that couldn't be cured and has been leading me to the bright way of the light.
"My Son's Tumor Cells of the Lymph System Had Been at the Third Stage, but They Were All Gone!"
Sita Sunar, age 30, Nepal
In November, 2013, my first son Suraj Sunar, age 13, often coughed and suffered from high fever. I thought he just caught a cold, but he lost weight and showed strange symptoms such as swelling of his right chest.
I went with him to Kanti Children's Hospital in Kathmandu the capital city of Nepal. They said he had lymphoma in the third stage, which shocked us. He had only 60,000 platelets (normal, 150,000 to 400,000), and his hemoglobin level was around 7.1 (normal, 12 to 16). He was hospitalized right away and received cancer treatment. He lost all his hair and he was pushed to a critical state. Even six months later there was no improvement. I became poor in spirit and went to Manmin Mission Center in Nepal which my sister-in-law had talked about.
Feeling distressed, all my family members registered in May 2014. But we attended just a few times and we still worshiped idols. So, the cancer cells spread fast in him. He was in great pain due to high fever and had difficulty in breathing. He was likely to die soon. In the meantime, he eagerly wanted to meet Pastor Grace Lee who is ministering to the Manmin Mission Center, and she visited him in June.
She told us to repent of idolatry, and told my son that he should worship God in spirit and truth during worship services. He had attended the church following his aunt since 2012 but he did not offer services properly because he played outside of the church. Pastor Lee urged me to show faith in God for 21 days by offering up fasting. She also prayed for him with the handkerchief on which Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee of Manmin Central Church in Seoul, South Korea had prayed (Acts 19:11-12), and she sprayed Muan Sweet Water on him.
During the following 21 days, I prayed to God with my heart for my son's healing. I offered up dinner-fasting, and repented that I had worshiped idols. My son started to recover after the prayer. The fevers subsided and the number of blood platelets and hemoglobin level became normal without a blood transfusion that he had needed every three days. In August, he was found to have no cancer cell. Hallelujah!
I give all thanks and glory to the living God who blessed my family members to gain opportunities for salvation through my son's disease.

"I Was Healed of a Herniated Lumbar Disc!"
Deacon Dongpil Lee, age 40, Gwangju Manmin Church, South Korea
His wife, Deaconess Chorong Heo, his second son Hankyul and his older son Kipeum
On March 3 of 2015, I lifted up two boxes at one time. At that moment, I felt something slip at my waist, which was strange. I moved them to another place and put them down. Then, when I stood up, I felt severe pain in my back and legs. I received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for the sick on GCN's website, www.gcntv.org. Then I went to a neurosurgical hospital near my house.
The doctor told me that I would most likely have to have a surgery, but the results of an MRI would give the details. With more severe pain, I was rushed to a Spine Hospital by ambulance.
My MRI showed that a herniated disc protruded between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae and was pressing the nerves. Worse, even the membrane that protected the disc was torn, so the disc flowed down. They said there was no way to cure it but through surgery.
Ten years ago, I had been healed of multiple gastric ulcers through Muan Sweet Water and Dr. Lee's prayer. Nine years ago, I was in a crisis of having my first baby born deformed, but the baby was born healthy through Dr. Lee's prayer.
Nevertheless, I stayed in lukewarm faith and couldn't remain under God's protection. I repented thoroughly. On March 7 of 2015, the church had a handkerchief healing meeting with Rev. Heesun Lee. I prepared for it to receive healing with faith. I gave the price of the operation to God and received Rev. Lee's prayer of the handkerchief. Then, amazingly, all pains were gone. I did not feel any pain no matter how hard I moved my body. I give all thanks and glory to God who healed me!
A disc between L4 and L5 was herniated, putting pressure on the nerves.
Now he can bend and straighten his body.
"I Am Happy to Learn the Holiness Gospel that Teaches Me God's Will"
Deaconess Sunyeong Lee, age 44, Gimhae Manmin Church, South Korea
With her daughter Nayeon and her husband Junior Deacon Yeonkil Chung
In May, 2011, I started to attend a church guided by my friend. I was happily leading a Christian life. The daily Bible study was interesting to me. I tried to act upon the Word of God offering up my tithe and charitable offerings. I went without watching TV and also liked reading Christian books. Furthermore, the more I became familiar with the Word of God, the thirstier I became in spirit.
In late September, 2012, I was searching books on a person of spirit on the internet. It was at that time that I discovered Manmin Central Church's website, www.manmin.org, and Dr. Jaerock Lee's various books. My heart beat faster even just by reading their titles and synopsis of contents. I tried to think of a way I could read all these books quickly, and I learned that the books have electronic versions.
I bought his e-books and downloaded them on my smartphone. I read them until late at night and felt like I had the whole world in my hand. The books gave me inexpressible joy and moved my heart. I also heard that there is Manmin Central Church's branch church in Gimhae where I live. On November 4, 2012, I started to attend Gimhae Manmin Church.
The holiness gospel revealed the untruths in my heart. It also taught me how to solve the problems of my sins. I began to remove self-centeredness and to think in others' shoes. When I felt angry, I gave one-meal or one-day fasting and prayed. I also tried to give spiritual love explained in "Lectures on Love Chapter". I was very happy to listen to Senior Pastor's message.
I also realized the spiritual law by which God repays us according to what we have done. Since then I have devoted myself to services, prayer, volunteer works, and offerings. I have also tried to achieve the heart of the Lord. Then, the God of love not only gave financial blessings to my husband's business, but also blessed us to stay healthy and peaceful. I give all thanks and glory to God who allows me to know His will clearly and live in hope.
"I Was Set Free from Alcoholism That Troubled Me for 60 Years"
Deacon Ilnam Hong, age 85, Parish 25, South Korea
With his wife Senior Deaconess Byeongki Kim
I began drinking alcohol early since my parents liked to drink. I did very bad things after drinking so I was notorious for it. My wife had a hard time because of me.
In 1997, I started to attend church with my wife under guidance of my daughter, Pastor Jinsuk Hong. But I just attended Sunday Morning Service, and again met my friends and drank alcohol until late at night. I threw things and swore at home. I hated it, but I was not able to stop it.
In 2010, on a Sunday, I suddenly wanted to offer up Sunday Evening Service. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's message started to move my heart and great grace came upon me. From that day, I came to hate alcohol. It was unimaginable! I was finally set free from alcohol addiction that had troubled me for more than 60 years. Hallelujah!
I was an only son in my family so I lived a self-centered life. But I was renewed as a person who pays attention to my wife's heart. We live peacefully and spread Manmin News with a desire to please God. We read the Bible, read Senior Pastor's books, and pray every day. We are happy now. We give all thanks and glory to the Lord who allows us to lead healthy and peaceful lives at this old age.
