Deacon Jungkil Lee, age 81, Parish 7, South Korea Deacon Jungkil Lee was led to the church by his son Pastor Seokkyu Lee, and he was healed of varicose veins and is now enjoying a healthy life.


My wife and I are living happily in our advanced ages. This happiness comes because we are realizing and experiencing the true love of God day by day and enjoy the true taste of a believing life.

I used to go to a church in Busan before I attended Manmin Central Church. I went to church just for peace of mind, so I still enjoyed drinking alcohol with my friends and playing the 'Go-stop' game. My son, Pastor Seokkyu Lee, Vice Parish Pastor of Parish 14, felt sorry for me and asked me to come to Seoul and live a believing life with him. I didn't want to but I just responded to his earnest request, saying, "If my house sells at the highest price, I will."

Now, by Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, the house—which I had put up for sale but hadn't been sold for a long time—was sold at the highest of my asking prices. Moreover, we found a good house in Seoul the very next day. We finally moved to Seoul.

From July 12 in 2009, I began attending Manmin Central Church. Senior Pastor's messages awakened my Christian life and renewed my whole life. I came to attend all kinds of worship services, stopped drinking alcohol, started to listen to the messages, read the Bible, and practice the Word.

In the meantime, I experienced the power of God. I had had varicose veins for ten years so my right calf looked hideous since the enlarged and twisted veins looked like earthworms. I hoped to get healed of it. Before 2014 Manmin Summer Retreat was held, I listened to the sermon series "The Seed of Life" in Genesis Lecture. Finally, on August 4 in 2014, I received Senior Pastor's prayer with faith during the seminar of the retreat. The summer retreat ended and I went back home. On the following morning, I found that there were no varicose veins in my leg! Nothing awful was found on my leg. Hallelujah!

In my case of varicose veins, my veins had been twisted due to damaged vein valves. By Senior Pastor's prayer, my vein valves came to function normally without any laser operation. It is really amazing!

My wife Senior Deaconess Deoksun Kim was also healed of pain on her right elbow that had troubled her for two years. I give all thanks and glory to God who showed the true way to faith and allows us to enjoy healthy lives both in spirit and body.
