In May this year, I was diagnosed with diabetes when my hemoglobin A1c level reached 7. Hemoglobin A1c refers to hemoglobin combined with sugar in red blood cells, and when blood sugar remains high, this level also rises. It is widely used to diagnose diabetes, and the normal range is 4.0?6.0. A level of 6.5 or higher indicates diabetes, but mine had gone up to 7. ...

I had very good eyesight during my schooldays. It was always 2.0/1.5 when tested, and I was very proud of it. As I began working, however, I drove a lot for business trips, easily felt tired, and often had headaches. I often massaged my head and shoulders while driving.
In 2014, my regular medical check-up result showed the reason for my tiredness and headaches; it was my eyesight, which had become 1.2/0.6. I had heard many testimonies of the church members who were healed of bad eyesight, so I longed to receive healing. I received Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick by faith every worship service.
In 2016, I had a medical check-up again. My eyesight was 1.2/0.9 which showed improvement of my right eyesight. I looked back upon the near past and realized I had no more headaches and felt better than before. I came to have more longing for better eyesight.
In March 2018, the moon that had looked distant came to look clearer and closer. I thought that it could be my eyesight improvement. I excitedly had a regular medical check-up. It was 1.5/1.5 in both eyes. Hallelujah!
I was guided to Manmin Central Church in 1996 by my grandmother. I started to lead a Christian life in earnest in 2002. From January 2004, I started to work as an insurance salesman. I wanted to receive financial blessing and thereby glorify God and become the source of strength for the shepherd. I held onto the Passage that says, "For whatever a man sows, this he will also reap" (Galatians 6:7) and decided to give my severance pay to God.
In May 2004, I was given the opportunity to give offerings for flower decoration on the altar during a Special Revival Meeting. My brother Deacon Jongwook Ham and I were so happy to see the flowers while we were volunteering for those who were on wheelchairs. In May 2008, I sold my car and offered the money up in my devotional service. God blessed me to prosper in my work performance. In July, I could give 12 hundred dollars as a tithe.
2 Corinthians 9:7 reads, "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." As my wife and I gave offerings with our hearts, God guided us to the way of blessing and I kept getting promoted in my workplace. Now I am the director. I give all thanks and glory to God.
