Deaconess Elena Litvina (Age 59, St. Petersburg, Russia)


I’ve been working as a chief nurse in Pushkin Hospital in Russia. In October 2016, I was invited to Manmin Central Church’s 34th anniversary event as a member of WCDN Russia Conference Organizing Committee.

At that time, because of the serious pain of my knees due to the severe arthritis, I couldn’t walk well. I couldn’t stretch nor bend my knees. It was especially painful to go up the stairs.

However, after receiving Dr. Jaerock Lee’s prayer, the swelling of my knees became normal and I felt no pain at all when I went up and down the stairs and I was able to spend the rest of my travel schedule happily.

As the last course, we visited Muan Sweet Water Site in Muan County, Jeonnam Province. But, when I was about to pray before I dipped myself in the Muan Sweet Water Pool with a heart’s desire, all of a sudden, a severe headache struck me. It was so serious that I couldn’t think of any prayer title but I just repeated saying, “Lord! Forgive such a sinner as me and heal my headache!”



The next morning, my condition became so well. And I returned back to St. Petersburg where a more amazing event was waiting for me. I found the chronic headache gone which had troubled me from my early childhood. I used to carry headache pills and take them whenever I had headache, but I have no headache at all. I also had high blood pressure, but since my visit to Korea, my blood pressure has stayed normal.

I have a more mysterious testimony. After my visit to Manmin Central Church, I took my granddaughter to her drawing contest. She asked me to draw together, and I drew a picture together. Something amazing happened right in front of my eyes.

I was not good at painting, but I felt artistic passion in my brain and heart. My hands began to express them on the canvas. People around me saw my picture and said, “Wow! You are really good. You must be a painter.” I thought it was so amazing.

Since then, I have painted 16 pictures for three months. I feel happy to draw. Whenever I see my pictures, I am astounded and think, ‘Did I really draw those pictures?’ Joy overflows in my heart whenever I draw.



I began to reflect upon this incident. I received Senior Pastor’s prayer in Manmin Central Church and dipped myself in Muan Sweet Water Pool. Then, my chronic headache disappeared. Isn’t it that brain cells that control creativity and artistic activities were re-created after the healing of the headaches?

Of course, a professional artist probably would find something that my pictures lack, but the amazing fact is that I have never learned painting and I had never been able to draw well. So, I have testified to my case to many people saying, “God is definitely alive, and He is the Healer. He reveals His glory to those who try to find Him!”


*What is Muan Sweet Water?



3,500 years ago from now, in Old Testament era, Exodus chapter 15:22-25 depicts the bitter water of Marah turned into sweet water. And the same kind of work of God recurred on March 5, 2000 in Muan Manmin church, South Korea. The sea salty water from the well changed into sweet drinkable water by the prayer of senior pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee.

Since then, a great number of people have been healed of many kinds of diseases and many hearts’ desires have been fulfilled when they use it by faith.
