Sister Tatiana Plamadyala, age 23, Moldova Manmin Church

After I accepted the Lord, I gained joy and peace in my heart. But as I did not pray well, my love and fervor for the Lord cooled down and later I habitually attended church. I came to have many questions on faith, and the Word was a burden to me since I did not live by it.

And I was disappointed when I saw many pastors' deeds are different from their teaching. My father also felt disappointed at such pastors' behavior and slipped back to his old habit of drinking alcohol. My family members argued frequently, and I also often burst into anger. I couldn't control my mind. I barely attended Sunday Morning Service.

Afterwards, I suffered from frequent stomachaches and chronic headaches. I got injection and treatment in hospital, but they were of no use. I got a headache just by the sunlight, so I usually stayed in a dark room. I started to think I was not included in God's plan and wonder why I couldn't pray and had many problems though I had attended church. In such thoughts, I had no peace in mind.

One day in 2014, my friend, Brother Maksim Chubachuk told me that there is a pastor who cast away all sin and leads a sanctified life in this age. Then, he recommended Dr. Jaerock Lee's books and sermons. He invited me and my mother to Moldova Manmin Church's Christmas Event..

My mother went to the church first and read Dr. Lee's book The Message of the Cross. She told me to read it too.

When I read the book, I experienced something amazing: joy and fervor came to my heart at the same time. Many questions lingering in my heart were answered such as 'Why did God create mankind though He knew they would sin?' 'Why did God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil though He knew Adam would eat from it?' and so on.

My past life flashed through my mind. I had doubted God and had negative thoughts. I began to repent with tears. I felt like the pieces of a puzzle of my life were all put together. I found the answer to my question on my identity. I also understood God's great love and plan. I read it over and over again. And I couldn't help but talk about the book to other people. I also attended the church's prayer meeting every day.

I later found out that it was not all. What surprised even more was Dr. Lee's lecture on Genesis. I continued to read other books such as Heaven, Hell, and his autobiography My Life My Faith and listen to his sermons.

Now I know that God wants true children who have a holy heart and I am included in His plan. I have hope for New Jerusalem. Moreover, I am free from chronic headaches and stomachaches. I am serving my church as a teacher in Children's Sunday School, a member of Dance Team, and a leader of a Cell Meeting.

My family members also attend the church together. I give all thanks and glory to God who led me to the church with the word of life and the Lord who gives me amazing realization and grace. I also extend my thanks to Senior Pastor who nurtures me with the holiness gospel. Hallelujah!
