I was born into a sincere Christian family in Daegu City, South Korea. While I was growing up, I attended church diligently and studied the Bible. But when I reached puberty, I was disappointed in myself and others who did not live by the biblical teaching. I thought of the way to live according to God's Word so I read many books on theology and sought the way. But I could not find the way to casting off evil.

When I was an eleventh grader, I started to think, 'Does God really exist?' I then lost the meaning of my life. I tried to find the meaning and satisfaction in philosophy and Buddhism but nothing could fill my heart.

I just found joy in learning. I graduated from a medical college with a good grade and started to teach physiology in the medical school of Kyungpook National University.


I met the true mentor that led me to live in God's Word

My mother read Dr. Jaerock Lee's testimonial memoirs Tasting Eternal Life before Death. She was greatly moved and urged me to visit Manmin Central Church. Finally, I attended the church's Friday All-night Service and Sunday Morning Service.

In 1987, Senior Pastor Dr. Lee was giving a lecture on Job during Friday All-night Service and preaching about 'The Measure of Faith' during Sunday Morning Service. His teaching was the one that I had never heard before and it was very powerful. He was also teaching about the circumcision of heart and the ways to increasing faith that I had been longing to find. I was shown the way to discovering my evil and to living without sinning.

Furthermore, I became very earnest when I saw signs, wonders, and powerful works that confirmed God's Word. I could feel the love of the Lord who was hung on the cross and died to save a sinner like me and thoroughly repented with tears. It was my first time to experience the Holy Spirit though I had been raised as a Christian since my birth. I was overjoyed.

Though at the time it took five hours, I came all the way to Seoul from Daegu to attend Sunday Service. Since I finally found such a teaching that I had yearned for, I made up my mind to put it into practice quickly and resemble the Lord.

On January 31 in 1988, I began attending Masan Manmin Church while I was serving the army as an army doctor. I met my wife Senior Deaconess Miok Cho there and we got married in May, 1989.


I experienced God the Creator's power and the spiritual world

In 1990, my late grandmother (Senior Deaconess Bunhan Cho) was suffering from serious neuralgia for more than one year because of after-effects of shingles. She became all skin and bones. Then, Dr. Lee came to Deagu to lead Revival Meeting and prayed for her. When she received the prayer, she yelled, "A demon is going out!" After then, her serious pain was gone and recovered good health.

While I was experiencing the spiritual realm and Dr. Lee's power, I longed to become the Lord's worker and prayed. In 1992, I was blessed to work as a Levite worker (full-time worker) of Manmin Central Church. In November 1996, I was given a chance to accompany Senior Pastor during his mountain prayer. I witnessed amazing wonders in the night sky and started to break off the framework of my knowledge.

I talked about stars with Senior Pastor. I thought I was knowledgeable about stars and relevant things. I disagreed with what he said and insisted on my thought. Right then, God allowed me to see the power of God the Creator that could never be explained by the worldly knowledge in the night sky. A big circle formed around the moon. Outside of the circle were dense clouds and inside the circle was no cloud at all. Although strong winds continued to blow, the clouds outside of the circle did not move into the circle. It was not the occurrence of a natural phenomenon.

God the Creator blessed me to realize how foolish I had been. He also said that I should be completely renewed to accomplish the world mission with the shepherd. Afterwards, I tried to live by God's Word and become sanctified, but I was often faced with limitations. I had strong ego so I did not rely perfectly on God.


I wanted to preach about God the Creator with the heart of spirit

One day in 2013 Senior Pastor said to me, "It is not hard to achieve the heart of spirit. You can do it when you turn your ego into nothing." I began praying with his advice and tried hard to break off my ego. As I felt the Lord's love of the cross and God's love through Senior Pastor's deep love, I was more eager to be renewed.

Above all, I tried to put myself in others' shoes and change my heart. Then I came to seek their benefits from my heart. I was excited to see myself being renewed. "I can be renewed by God's Word!" I became filled with assurance that I would become sanctified by God's and the Lord's love and the Holy Spirit's help. In June, 2015, I eventually accomplished the heart of spirit. Hallelujah!

I am Vice President of WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network, Founder and Chairman Dr. Jaerock Lee). WCDN is the interdenominational organization that proves miraculous healing cases by God's power based on medical data. We, thereby, testify that God is alive and the Bible is authentic. We hold an annual international Christian medical conference with hundreds of medical doctors in attendance, present many healing cases through Dr. Lee's prayer, and give special lectures on God's powerful works.

In 2013, I presented my daughter Chanmi Hwang's healing case of calcific tendinitis on her left wrist in Mexico Conference and she came along together with me for the presentation.

God the Creator is alive now showing countless powerful works. I give all thanks and glory to Him who has led me to become the Holy Spirit's instrument and testify about Him to people all around the world.
