Although I worked as a yoga instructor and lacked nothing materially, there was always emptiness in my heart. Due to deep wounds from family conflict, I suffered from panic disorder, schizophrenia, depression, insomnia, chronic gastric ulcers, and migraines and had to take sedatives. Trying to escape the pain, I turned to alcohol and eventually became addicted, undergoing about eight months of hospital treatment.
While living without hope, I met my husband, Ki-bong Park, about two and a half years ago. With the loving guidance of my younger brother, elder Moon-gyu Kim, and his wife, senior deaconess Young-ja Lee, we moved to Daejeon City this year, and on March 30, I registered at Daejeon Manmin Church.
Because asthma runs in my family, I often struggled to breathe and coughed so much that I sometimes could not eat properly. But on the night I received prayer from pastor Heung-young Park after registering at the church, the coughing stopped and my breathing became comfortable.
Through this, my husband also registered at the church. By the messages and prayers of Dr. Jaerock Lee and pastor Soojin Lee, he experienced God’s amazing power as his esophageal cancer, heart disease, hip problems, and other illnesses were healed. However, I still had difficulties in my Christian life. I sometimes skipped Sunday services, drank secretly without my husband knowing, and even shouted in the middle of the night. The pastors and church members continually visited me, supporting me with God’s Word and with love.
The church encouraged me to attend the 2025 Manmin Summer Retreat, but because of panic disorder, I was afraid of being in a large crowd. However, since my brother arranged a private lodging for me, I gathered the courage to attend the retreat for the first time in my life. On August 4, the first day of the retreat, I listened to the message and received pastor Soojin Lee’s prayer for the sick. And then I found myself worshiping for several hours among many people. That alone was a miracle. I wanted to go up to the stage and testify, but there was no time. My heart was filled with indescribable joy. My husband, who went up on stage, glorified God by testifying to the healing of many diseases.
Through the summer retreat and the divine healing meeting, my heart?which had long been unstable due to schizophrenia?also found peace. Before the September Divine Healing Meeting, the church workers and my younger brother took turns fasting and praying for me for two weeks. During that time, all desire for alcohol disappeared.
After receiving pastor Soojin Lee’s prayer at the September Divine Healing Meeting, an amazing peace came upon my body and mind. My depression disappeared, so I stopped taking sedatives, and I completely quit drinking. In the past, I was afraid to go outside after sunset and could not attend Wednesday services, but now I go to worship with joy. The church members also rejoiced with me, saying that my face had brightened. These days, I find such joy in reading the Bible, and I’ve already finished it twice.
On October 12, when the anniversary event of Manmin Central Church was held at Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul, I greeted pastor Soojin Lee with my fellow church members and received her prayer. At that moment, my whole body became hot as I experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit’s fire. I was so happy that I could not sleep that night, and since then, all my diseases have disappeared. Hallelujah!
My husband, who had watched me suffer for so long, now gives thanks each day as he witnesses the healing work God has manifested in me. I give all thanks and glory to our good God who has healed me of many diseases.
