Joshua Sotun (Shillong, Meghalaya, India)



I used to be Hindu. My mother converted to Christianity after she had been healed of heart disease by prayer of a Christian. Her story of healing influenced all family members to convert to Christianity, but I accepted the Lord four years later.


Through 'Manmin News' in Hindi and a phone call with Delhi Manmin Mission Center

One day in 1999, there was a worship service at my home. I did not attend the service, but was in the next room. I liked praises that they sang and listened to them carefully. During the service, the preacher read a Bible verse from Isaiah. It was Isaiah 49:15 saying, "Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you." This verse moved my heart. I finally accepted the Lord and repented of my past life filled with idolatry, drunkenness, and dissipation. I came to lay aside my former manner of life. I tried to live by the Word of God, pray every day, and look for the love and blessings of the Lord in my life.
In May of 2009, I visited OM Books Shop located in Guwahati, the state of Assam, India. I received much grace reading Manmin News in Hindi that had been placed in the shop. I made a phone call to Delhi Manmin Mission Center with the number written in the newspaper. Brother Raju there answered my questions and began to send me Manmin News regularly. He also sent me the DVD entitled 'Power of God'.


Touched by 'Power of God' DVD and Dr. Jaerock Lee's books The Message of the Cross and The Measure of Faith

Manmin News translated in Hindi

Watching the DVD that showed God's powerful works manifested through Dr. Lee's prayer, I was so amazed that I even felt like I had an electronic shock. I was filled with the Holy Spirit and came to be eager to spread the great power of God to others and to experience it firsthand.
In July 2009, I asked Delhi Manmin Mission Center to send me Dr. Lee's books. I read seven books including The Message of the Cross, The Measure of Faith, Heaven I & II, Hell, and Awaken Israel. After reading them, I could not help preaching the gospel.
In particular, I liked The Message of the Cross which suggests 'the way of salvation' and 'the providence of the cross' and The Measure of Faith which shows the readers a shortcut to resemble the Lord. These contain amazing unheard of messages.


Spreading the holiness gospel and the power of God not only in India but in Nepal and Bhutan

I paid a visit to a cable broadcasting station which covers all areas in Shillong, Meghalaya, India on December 22, 2009. I gave them 'Power of God IV' DVD and made best efforts for it to be broadcast through the station even spending my own money.
Carrying a DVD player and a TV monitor in my car, I have presented 'Power of God IV' in churches and towns. Many people have been touched by the message of the cross of Jesus Christ. I also have introduced Muan Sweet Water which was changed from salty water of the sea to drinkable water through Dr. Lee's prayer. Whoever used it by faith received healings and converted to Christianity.
I have a room to conduct Manmin's ministry in my house. I have Manmin News, Dr. Lee's books, and Muan Sweet Water in the room. If there is someone who wants them, I send them to the person.
Since December 23, 2009, I have sent 120 DVDs to churches in Nepal. I preached the gospel in my wife's hometown in Bhutan. I am learning the language of Khasis which is spoken by a tribe living in the mountainous areas in the Northeastern India, Bangladesh, and Assam in order to spread the gospel among them. Its population reaches upwards of around 1,360,000. Materials for evangelization of the areas were translated into their language. I will try my best for spreading the holiness gospel which I learned through MIS (Manmin International Seminary) programs.


About 100 families in Assam of India converted to Christianity

A 20-year-old woman Sunita Mirda living in a village of Tezpura in Assam of India had been possessed with an evil spirit for a year. She had to be kept in her room and taken care of by her family because she had caused many problems like throwing things. Many pastors had prayed for her, but there was no difference. At that time, her father came to know Manmin's ministry and wanted to receive Dr. Lee's prayer for her.
I informed Pastor John Kim (Delhi Manmin Mission Center) of their problem. Pastor Kim asked for Dr. Lee's prayer and received his prayer on their behalf during Friday all-night service. Surprisingly, she came to be set free from evil spirit and became normal.
After seeing this fascinating work of God, her family members and the villagers converted from Hinduism to Christianity. At first only 20 families converted, but the news was spread to neighbors and about 100 families converted to Christianity. This is because her father was influential in the village and her relatives lived closely.
