I am President of Korean Chives Research Center, located in Yangju City, Kyeong-gi Province. From 10 years ago I have currently researched for Korean chives and dreamed of environment-friendly agricultural products business because it was considered to bring high profits and good health to its customers.
In October of 2006, the things seemed to go well when I received the confirmation certificate from the government for environment-friendly agricultural products. But it was temporal joy. I had sequentially failed in my a few businesses—green peppers' processing industry, chives' juice processing industry, and cyber agricultural tools and chemicals open market, and then fell into predicament. Finally I was classified as a defaulter by two banks.

Repenting of My Faults in the Failures and Walking the Right Path

In December of 2008, I ran out of my business funds and had severer difficulty in making a living, and so my family including my parents and my friends turned their back from me. Ashamed of seeing my family and afraid of their cold eyes, I left home and lived in a metal container beside the brook near my house. In a day a representative of a company was degraded into a jobless and homeless man. I said to myself, "I've been lowered to the bottom. Now everything that will happen to me is improvement" and began to meditate on the cause of the former failures.
In praying I found many wrongdoings I have committed in my businesses—getting involved in an improper way with a desire to gain a big amount of money, enlarging the scope of my business exceedingly, disobeying the Word of God, and so on. While attending church, I had committed many wrongdoings that way.
I thoroughly repented of them and tried my best to correct the manner of my Christian life. I had the assurance that if I walk the right way God would help me and lead me to make a success in my business again, so that I diligently asked for the help of God in prayer attending various worship services and Daniel Prayer Meeting.
In May of 2009, my chives fields were introduced at the program "Morning Wide" of SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System) and became known to the whole country. In the early summer of that year, the Pureun Customers' Cooperative Corporation that used to be my former long-term client called me and ordered nutrient chives. At that time I was expecting to succeed in business and was offered to do it again with their promise to support for me.

The Number of Order Increased after Receiving the Prayer from Dr. Jaerock Lee

In August of 2009, I came to Dr. Jaerock Lee and repented that I had not followed the right way, and received his prayer for blessing. Afterwards blessing has continued.
From the year of 2010 I made a contract with the Pureun Customers' Cooperative Corporation for the provision of green agricultural products, and the Yangju City supported me by sending two interns and my a few acquaintances helped me in many ways. On April 17, 2010, the first fruit of my business came forth and I gained very high profits.
The nutrient chives I have raised are being provided to Shinsegae Department Store, and making contracts with Pulmuone Co. Ltd., Nong Hyup (National Agricultural Cooperative Federation), Lotte Department Store, Hansalim Co. is on the going.
In last June, the Yangju City held a special event for the best agricultural products sales. I attended the event and Minister Taepyong Chang, Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries dropped at my corner and tasted a piece of chives-processing food and praised it sincerely. Thus, God has been guiding me to the best way step by step as my soul has been prosperous.
