Manmin Prayer Center & Prayer Devotees' Mission Visit Muan Sweet Water Site



At 1:30 PM, on August 11, the staff of Manmin Prayer Center and members of Prayer Devotees' Mission were attending the event of 'Looking up to the Sky' in a sunny weather

Typhoon Dianmu, which means "the goddess governing thunder and lightning" in Chinese, originated in the southeastern sea of Taiwan, and on August 10, it was approaching the southwestern coast of Jeonnam Province from the western sea of Cheju Island.
It was forecast to land on the coast of the Jeonnam Province of southwestern Korea on the morning on August 11; cross the peninsula during the afternoon, and pass into the Eastern Sea at night. The Meteorological Administration Agency issued a typhoon warning for Cheju Island, the Southern Sea, and Jeonnam Province and a typhoon alert for Kyeongnam Province. Rainfall was forecast for 30-100mm with the majority of the southern areas expecting over 250mm until the afternoon of that same day.
Despite this weather forecast issued at midnight on August 11, under the leadership of Ms. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center, and Senior Deaconess Sungsoon Wui, President of Prayer Devotees' Mission the advance team of Prayer Devotees' Mission, they departed from the church heading for Muan Manmin Church located in Jeonnam Province. A 25-passenger van made their way through the heavy winds and rain of fierce storm and arrived in Muan at 4:00 at dawn. The rushing wind was blowing mightily because of Typhoon Dianmu. But none was worried about the weather because all the members of the Prayer Devotees' Mission had received the prayer from Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee on August 7.
By 7:00 AM on the morning of their arrival, Senior Deaconess Wui looked out of the window and discovered that the rain had already stopped and the sun was coming through the clouds. By 8:30, some white and fluffy clouds were floating in a clear blue sky. At 10:50 in the morning, the sky was so clear and members of Prayer Devotees' Mission arrived and exclaimed with joy. As a cool breeze blew, about 230 prayer devotees fully enjoyed all the scheduled events of their retreat including a special prayer meeting for the Holy Spirit's fullness, the 'Looking up to the Sky' event, submerging into Muan sweet water pool, and swimming while puffy white clouds blanketed out the scorching heat of the sun.
To our amazement, at 5:00 AM as dawn was breaking, Typhoon Dianmu had landed in Goheung Gun of Jeonnam Province and moved northeastward, but did not cross the peninsula. It moved along the southern coastline. In the same way that the Israelites were in the protection of God in the land of Goshen while other areas of Egypt were stricken by various plagues, they could experience God's powerful hands that have allowed the best weather at the summer retreat and many other outdoor events for the last 28 years.
