 Deaconess Ah-hyun Kim (Western Busan Manmin Church)
After getting married in December 2001, I began attending church with my husband Deacon Won-jik Jeon and except for one thing, our marriage could not have been any happier. My husband is the eldest son of the head house of his family and I, as his wife, have always felt forced to have a son, yet I could not get pregnant.
My thoughtful mother-in-law always comforted me, "At the time of His choosing, our Lord will give us a son," but my husband and I became jealous of our friends and their spouses, some of whom got married after us have a baby or two. My father-in-law would often say, "When I go meet with my friends, they always boast of their grandchildren, but what joy do have I in life without a grandchild?" I felt sorry and terrible and I tried to serve my parents-in-law better, but there was no way to redeem myself.
  Healing of severe case of pustular psoriasis
Then in October 2005, pustular psoriasis developed on my left hand. The left had was severely disfigured and the stench was unbearable. Yet, after examining my life in Christ, repenting of the past, and receiving Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, my hand became whole again. I began to love God and trust in Him more than ever before, and my husband's also changed as he began to pray everyday and became more faithful.
Then our Lord gave the both of us spiritual faith by which we could trust in the almighty God and receive His answers, and granted us a wondrous blessing for us in February 2006. In one of his messages, the Senior Pastor said, "When I pray for the sick from DR Congo during the Festival, if you receive prayer by faith in Korea, that prayer will transcend time and space and you will be able to receive the desires of your heart."
My husband said, "Honey, let us earnestly prepare our hearts for the Congo Festival, receive the Senior Pastor's prayer by faith, and receive the blessing of pregnancy." We became of one heart and attended "The Daniel Prayer Meeting" every night and prepared our hearts as vessels worthy of God's answers.
During the three days of "The 2006 DR Congo Miracle Healing Festival," I woke up early in the morning and waited to receive the Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick. However, the technical difficulties on DR Congo's ended cutting off the transmission before I could receive prayer. I was disappointed but on Sunday following "The Festival," I received by faith the Senior Pastor's prayer that had been previously recorded alongside the rest of the congregation.
Afterwards, I fixed my eyes by faith and kept them on any changes of the body. When I suddenly began to have a larger appetite, I bought a home pregnancy test, which showed that I was already pregnant. In my fifth year of marriage, I had received the blessing of pregnancy. For a more comprehensive evaluation, I went to a hospital and the test result revealed I became pregnant the week after I had received prayer. As of now, I am five months pregnant.
 Deacon Chang-hoon Jeon and his wife Deaconess Mi-jung Jang
As soon as my husband and I received the blessing of pregnancy, my father-in-law, who had not come to church for quite some time, could only acknowledge God's power and resumed going to church. In addition, my husband's younger brother Deacon Chang-hoon Jeon and his wife Deaconess Mi-jung Jang (Gumi Manmin Church), who had also been longing for a baby, received the blessing of pregnancy two years after their marriage.
I give all thanks and glory to my Father God for His delicate love that allowed the births of the new generation in our family, and I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee for his prayer of love.
