[Evangelization Planning Special] How My Cell Multiplied Threefold
~ Senior Deaconess Sun-soon Jung (Eastern Gwangju Manmin Church)
In 2003, I assisted Rev. Yeon-ok Jung in founding Eastern Gwangju Manmin Church, a branch church of Manmin Joong-ang Church in Seoul. I had been praying in tears for the evangelization of my family, my sister-in-law who had been suffering from a psychiatric disorder, my oldest son who had been tormented by auditory hallucination, and my own mother Deaconess Moon-soon Suh, who had been inflicted by diseases of unknown cause and they all received healing thorugh the prayer of Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. Through this series of events, all my family, including my younger sister Deaconess Sun-mi Jung, joined and led our lives in Christ at Eastern Gwangju Manmin Church.
Contemplating ways to repay His grace
After receiving such overflowing blessings, I began contemplating and praying for ways to recompense God's grace and realized that the shortcut to sanctification was found in spreading the news of God's power as manifested through Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee and leading souls to salvation. I prayed to faithfully carry out my God-given duties as cell leader and bring revival, and I became more earnest and eager about evangelization through "The Seminar for Cell, Sub-district, and District Leaders" held on January 6, 2007. But then, when I actually set out to spread the Good News, I was not confident. "God, there is nothing I can do on my own. Whom am I to meet? What am I to say? Father, You take charge of everything." I began praying to God for each of my prayer requests item by item.
Spreading the news of God's love and His power
Then one day, I met with Deaconess Mi-sook Jeon, who had led a Christian life but since lost the first love and was now thirsting for God's Word. Praying everyday for Deaconess Jeon, I regularly gave her copies of Manmin Joong-ang News, invited her to my home and told her about the works of God's power taking place through Dr. Jaerock Lee. I also introduced to her such shows on the Global Christian Network (GCN) as "Power Praise" and the coverage of "The New York Crusade 2006 with Dr. Jaerock Lee" and other overseas crusades. I also listened attentively as Deaconess Jeon shared with me the troubles of life and tried to counsel her with the truth. She soon began attending worship services at Eastern Gwangju Manmin, which she joined after receiving grace from Dr. Lee's messages broadcast simultaneously via satellite. You have no idea how thrilled I was to see this happen! I was even more grateful because Deaconess Jeon not only found the first love she had lost but also had come to pray earnestly in tears for the salvation of so many souls with spiritual thirst. Then she introduced me to her neighbor Deaconess Bok-ja Shim, who had also lost her first love but, after she began listening to messages of Rev. Yeon-ok Jung, experienced the disappearance of the migraine caused by an abnormality in her cochlear duct. Through this series of events, her family and the family of her married daughter ended up joining Eastern Gwangju Manmin so that the number of families in my cell increased from three to six.
Threefold revival
Then Deaconess Jeon introduced the works of God's power taking place through Dr. Jaerock Lee to someone else, and that person ended up joining Eastern Gwangju Manmin after receiving grace from manifestations of God's power and Dr. Lee's messages on cassette tapes. After that, my cell members began praying more fervently and spread the Good News to our neighbors and relatives. In two and a half months, my cell experienced threefold revival and by April 1, the size of my cell increased to twelve families. Hallelujah! I am so grateful God has sent to me His prepared children. I give all thanks and glory to God and would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee for his constant love and earnest prayer.
