Dr. Jacob Darma Raj, M.D.
(Chairman, India's Reconstruction & Disaster Response Committee)

I attended all four days of "The 2002 Miracle Healing Prayer Festival with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee" held at Marina Beach in Chennai, Tamil Nudu, India. During the session on the third day of the Festival - heavy rains accompanied by gusts began to fall. The speaker at the Festival, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, stood as firm as a rock in the heavy rain for more than an hour and testified to the Word and prayed for the sick. At first, people in attendance were busy looking for cover from the rain, but when they saw Pastor. Dr. Lee remained at the podium to the end, they remained in their place, too. This scene was broadcast live on television, and countless people of India who witnessed this scene were thoroughly impressed and moved by the faithfulness of Pastor. Dr. Lee, who in their mind should have brought the Festival to a halt but did not look after himself even in the heavy rain. On the following and the last day of the Festival, at least a million people gathered to hear Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee.
On that last day of the Festival, I was standing on the left side of the podium - closer to the shoreline - and for a long time looked up at the sky and saw a bright light descend. This ray of light was like a sign that testified to God's presence at Marina Beach. On most people who were kneeling and receiving prayer descended the fire of the Holy Spirit as they experienced healing. I believe over 70% of the crowd gathered that night received healing. When Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee said, "Be healed!" I became certain that I had already been healed of the diabetes. From 1983, I had been tormented by diabetes for 20 years. I had tried modern medical science, alternate medical science, and traditional medical science, but no progress was made. From the pain in my joints I was unable to sleep or eat properly.
When I went to the hospital to measure the level of my blood sugar after the Festival, I learned that the sugar level that had remained in 350-400 had dropped to below 120. A few days later I had the level of my blood sugar re-examined and confirmed that the level was at below 120. I received examinations a few times more after that and the result was the same. I had received complete healing! When I told this to my wife, also a physician, she said it was a sure sign of God's miracle.
Prior to arriving at Marina Beach almost 3 years ago, many people had believed this Festival to be an occasion on which they were to receive God's overflowing grace and come in new clothing. Some people had come to Chennai after spending two nights and threes days on buses. Thousands of police officers were scattered throughout the beach to protect the huge crowd. For the Indian government had known that Hindu activists would try to interfere with the Festival even for a trivial reason, it had dispatched the police to ensure the safety of the crowd. However, it was truly amazing when the police on site and Hindu activists - who were there to stir up the crowd and obstruct the Festival - experienced healing and came to testify to their healing. Many more people bore witness to their healing even after the Festival was over and the Manmin mission team returned to Korea.
I still remember the vivid memory of the 2002 Festival, which left a lasting impact on India's Christian history, and how I was so moved by it. People of India are longing to see Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee in their homeland once again.
