Senior Deaconess Tszku Kiyoko, age 74, Tabata Manmin Church, Tokyo in Japan

While going to other churches, I was curious about how to lead a Spirit-filled Christian life and about many difficult verses in the Bible. So I prayed earnestly that I would meet the true shepherd who can explain the Bible exactly and works for God with the heart of Apostle Paul.

In the meantime, I learned about Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, and from March 2003 I started to attend Tabata Manmin Church, Tokyo in Japan. I learned about keeping the Lord's Day, giving proper tithes and offerings, and about Heaven and Hell. As I experienced the powerful works of God, my faith grew up. I was grateful that I finally met the true shepherd.

In May 2006, my skin broke out in a rash around my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Even when the wind blew a little, I felt pain like somebody poked me with needles. I had difficulty in breathing. It was so painful that I often shivered and I couldn't think of anything but the pain. It was shingles.

I relied only on God and repented that I had not offered up worship services in spirit and truth. Then I received Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick, sprayed Muan Sweet Water, and earnestly prayed. And I received the handkerchief prayer (ref: Acts 19:11-12) from Pastor Kyungtae Chung. Then I was completely healed. Hallelujah!

I took a test to become a nursing and social welfare worker (the national exam, first level). Through Senior Pastor's prayer, I could pass the test, too. I was given many duties in my church so I could spend most of my time on the works of God, which makes me so happy. I give all thanks and glory to God who blessed me to meet the true shepherd, learn about the Bible, and lead a right Christian life.
