Galvus Lema Lema (Age 35, Kinshasa Manmin Church, Democratic Republic of the Congo)


In May 2019, I was working on attaching plasterboard to the ceiling at a construction site. The moment I moved my foot off the scaffold, I fell down from about 33 feet high. The right side of my body hurt badly, and the pain was severe. I cried and returned home, and the pain calmed down after I took the medicine.

It seemed okay for a while, but a few months later, I felt pain in the ribs, didn’t breathe well. My condition got worse. In December 2019, a doctor said, “Because your lung is full of water, you need surgery to take out the water.” The surgery was expensive. I waited for the funding, and I finally booked for a surgery.

During a Sunday worship service, however, Pastor Jinbeom Han said that there would be Divine Healing meeting at Manmin Central Church in Korea in February. He told us to prepare myself with prayer, which my mother said the same.

On February 28th, I attended the divine healing meeting through GCN, but in fact, I was only interested in the medical treatment, because I was afraid that I would die in doing so. But Pastor Han encouraged me to repent with sincere heart and to receive prayer. I prayed earnestly to the Lord.

Then, I received Pastor Soojin Lee’s powerful handkerchief (Acts 19:11-12) prayer, and the fire of the Holy Spirit came upon me, and my entire body became hot. I sweated a lot. When Pastor Soojin Lee finished her prayer with “Amen,” I felt peaceful in my heart.

A week later, I came across a very surprising news when I went to hospital to take a scheduled treatment, the doctor said that the water in my lung disappeared, and that I didn’t need surgery. Hallelujah!

This made me convinced that I am in the space of God’s love. I now live a life full of joy un-comparable than before.

Currently, I cannot go to church due to COVID-19, but I have cell group prayer meetings and worship services with other members at home. I am happy thanks to the grace and love of the Lord.
