Deacon Guemsung Lee, age 61, Chinese Parish 1

At 3:30p.m., on January 2, 2018, my head felt heavy and I felt nauseous. My physical condition was not good. I left work early and went home. While I was climbing up the stairs to my home on the second floor, I felt dizzy and my hands and feet felt weak. I lost my balance and collapsed.

After a while, I felt cold in my waist and came around on the stairs. I realized about 20 minutes had passed. I tried to push myself up but had no strength to do so. I barely crawled into my house. At just the right time, my cell leader called me. While I was telling her to pray for me, I lost consciousness again. It was hard to breathe. I could not talk or even say anything.

In the evening, my parish pastor, vice parish pastor, and a few others visited me and offered up prayer of repentance on my behalf. My parish pastor prayed for me with the handkerchief on which Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed (Acts 19:11-12). I wanted to say "Amen." But I could not open my mouth and I saw a pig-like image holding my mouth shut.

Thankfully, when my parish pastor prayed in the name of Jesus Christ, I felt someone holding my hands and I came to say, "Amen." My body was soon strengthened and I felt comfortable. I completely recovered consciousness. When I looked around at the people who were there for me, I felt so thankful and shed tears.

Three days later, I went to hospital and had MRI scan performed. The doctor said I had no residual problems. Moreover, he said even the traces of my past cerebral infarction and hemorrhage were gone and it was his first time to see such a case as mine. Two years ago, I was stricken by cerebral infarction and hemorrhage. Although I took medicine every day, I felt heavy in my head and pain in the back of my head like a hammer was hitting me. But after the prayer, I felt so fresh in my head. I feel like I can fly.

I give thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ who saved me, and extend my heartfelt thanks to Senior Pastor who always prays for the church members not to be sick.

MRI scan (after the prayer)
The part that was affected by the infarction was open and blood was absorbed. No trace remained.
