One day in January 2024, I woke up in the morning and felt pain in my neck. I could feel a small lump. As time passed, the lump grew bigger and bigger to turn into a bump, and the affected area became swollen. It was easily visible, so I turned up my collar or covered it with a scarf. ...
"Voluntary services add to my happiness on Sundays"
We have the 'Manmin Volunteers Group'. They take care of traffic control, dining hall services, washing dishes, usher's duty, parking lot guide duty, helping the sick with their wheelchairs, cleaning the sanctuaries, etc. Choonoo Lee (3rd parish) received '2018 Excellence Award' of our church for his 27 years of faithful voluntary services.
His Daughter's Atopic Dermatitis Healed by Prayer
Listening to the sermons of the Senior Pastor Rev. Jaerock lee in this church, I felt that they were the true words of God that could help me lead a proper Christian life. They taught me what sins are and how we can cast off sins in detail. One day my daughter broke out with atopic dermatitis, but she was completely healed without any medical treatment after receiving the Senior Pastor's prayer twice. After I experienced this power of God through my daughter, I was filled with the Spirit even more, and I wanted to do something for the church. I joined the volunteer's group in the church and have been doing the traffic control duty for the past 27 years.
I always thought about what the Lord would do
As a general secretary of the Manmin Volunteer's Group I try to watch over general aspects of the church on top of the traffic control duty. I make sure the church members are comfortable in attending worship services and having lunch. I've felt the love of the Lord through our Senior Pastor Rev. Jaerock lee who always cherishes and serves the church members. While performing our duties all the volunteers including myself always think of what the Lord Jesus and what our senior pastor would do in the various situations. We do our voluntary work with faith and love for God and we are happy working. Manmin Volunteers' Group is literally a group of volunteers, meaning no one forced them to do voluntary services. All the members try their best with the desire to serve the church members. We go back home late at night on Sundays, and I feel very much rewarded and I get the feeling of happiness throughout the week. Above all, we're happy because we know this earth is not everything, and we have the hope for New Jerusalem.
Health and prosperity as the whole family is faithful
I'm quite embarrassed to have received the Excellence Award. There are many other volunteers who serve the members behind the scenes, and I believe I received it on their behalf. I made up my mind to keep the Lord's grace in my mind and work more faithfully. My whole family has been so healthy that we never went to the hospital or take any medicines for the past 27 years. I am a volunteer, my wife is a pastor, and my daughter is a member of Crystal Singers. We are serving the kingdom of God faithfully. My wife is in charge of the 2nd Chinese parish that had a revival, and for that my wife also received Excellence Award as a pastor. And God is blessing my work, too. Above all, I give all thanks and glory to God the Father for the blessing that my whole family is living with hope of New Jerusalem.
