Sister Nakagawa Megumi, age 37, Nagoya Manmin Church, Japan

I was born into a Christian family and attended church, but I was not leading a proper believing life. I got married to my husband in 2006. He was a Christian, and I renewed my interest in life as a believer and read the Bible. I also read Dr. Jaerock Lee's books The Message of the Cross and Heaven that my mother had given to me. I was richly blessed through the books and after reading them I often listened to his sermons on the church's website.

In 2011, I even had a GCN receiver installed at home and was supplied with spiritual resources through its various programs. My husband and I also began to attend Sunday Evening Service at Nagoya Manmin Church. At that time my husband was suffering emotional distress, but he was set free from it after he received Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick. I also felt joyful because through the messages I could cast away evil attributes that I had piled up in my heart and come closer to God. We were so thankful.

But as time passed my believing life became just a routine and my faith became lukewarm. On May 27, 2018, I felt a chill and pain and had the symptoms of a bladder infection. I had previously had a bladder infection but healed of it by Senior Pastor's prayer. But this time it did not get better. When it became serious I had to go to the restroom every thirty minutes to an hour. At that time, I heard that the registration of Manmin Summer Retreat 2018 for the members from other countries was due June 17. I registered and began to repent of my lukewarm faith. I renewed my heart.

On July 4, my mother collapsed due to brain hemorrhage and underwent urgent surgery. After the surgery, she could hardly move her left leg. I felt so sorry that I repented on her behalf and asked for the mercy of God. Then, He blessed her to recover quickly.

On July 10, she came to walk relying on a walker during physical therapy. But the movement of her left leg was very slow and she had left-side hemispatial neglect (a neuropsychological condition in which a deficit in attention to and awareness of one side of the field of vision is observed though it is not a visual disorder). She could only see a third of the whole view.


On July 25, I sent my mother's and my prayer titles to Manmin Central Church to register as patients for Manmin Summer Retreat. Right after I did, something amazing happened. I felt a lot better! Next day, my mother also was able to walk without the walker!

On August 6, the first night of the retreat, I received the prayer for the sick. After the prayer, I was completely healed of it. I had no pain and no problem at all. I even slept like a baby at night.

My mother, who was in Japan, also recovered a lot when she received the prayer on the first day. She said the symptoms of hemispatial neglect improved to the point she could see all the numbers of her digital clock. She had only seen the half of them before. I was so happy! I give all thanks and glory to God who healed me and worked on my mother transcending space and time. I express my gratitude to Senior Pastor.
