Deaconess Soonja Cho, Naples, Florida, U.S.

One day in 2014, I happened to watch a sermon on YouTube. It was a sermon entitled "Hell". I received much grace from the message that precisely corresponds with the Bible. I wondered what church it was and who the pastor was. He was the pastor of Manmin Central Church.

On the church's website (www.manmin.org), I found hundreds of sermons that Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee had preached. While I was listening to them, I thought, 'He is preaching only the truth!' I continued to listen to his sermons. He answered all my questions that had always lingered in my mind. I was so happy.

I used to have sinus infections and I took antibiotics many times every year. But by Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick, I was healed. In his sermons, I realized why I was in spiritual distress. I had become arrogant with my staff in the workplace. I repented of it and the Holy Spirit filled my heart. The more my soul prospered, the more blessing I received in my workplace.

I joined Manmin's worship services and Daniel Prayer Meeting via GCN. Senior Pastor's messages have changed my whole life, and I have preached about him and Manmin everywhere I went.

I gave Dr. Lee's sermon scripts to people in several Christian meetings and they really liked them. When I saw them feel happy with the spiritual messages, I felt happy too. People like his books, especially, The Message of the Cross, The Measure of Faith, and The Law of God.

In early September 2017, I felt deeper gratefulness for being a member of Manmin. It was because I was protected from the extremely powerful hurricane Irma. The news report announced a warning to people in Naples where I live because Hurricane Irma was expected to pass through my town. They sternly warned us to evacuate.

Many people told us to leave home because there is a canal behind it, but Senior Pastor had prayed for us and I believed we would be protected. I stayed at home in peace. Normally, water floods at the canal after it rains, but the water in the canal behind my house decreased. It was amazing! I also heard that people living 30-minute-distance away from my house had to move on the boat because the water flooded. It made me more assured of our having been protected in the space of the shepherd.

If I had not met Senior Pastor, even if I read it many times, I could not have realized the spiritual meanings embedded in the passages of the Bible. I would have gone in the wrong way without finding the untruth in me. I give all thanks and glory to God who called me as a sheep of Manmin.
