I am Deacon Jung-kyu Moon. I live in Beaverton, Oregon of the United States of America and it has been 3 years since I left Korea to live here. Before we attended the church, my wife, Deaconess Yoojin Chang, felt loneliness and affliction in her heart. But even worse, she suffered in many ways because of her chronic indigestion. Meanwhile, by the guidance of Senior Deaconess Mihyung Cho, who lived in the same apartment as our family, we joined Manmin Central Church in February, 2001. We were greatly touched by the messages and came to have faith, witnessing the works of God's power. In May of the same year, we attended a Two Week Special Revival Meeting with Dr. Jaerock Lee, at which my wife was healed of her chronic indigestion and my son Sukjune was healed of pneumonia. From then on, our family led a happy and religious life, giving whole tithes and keeping the Sabbath holy.

I was sent to the United States as a consultant for Nike Golf in 2006. My mother, Deaconess Hanaja Choi joined our church two weeks before we came to the United States. Previously, she was an earnest Buddhist who had constantly suffered from the pain over her body, but she was healed by Senior Pastor's prayer. And last May, my entire family became evangelized after my sister Sunmi Moon was led to church.

Last July 3, exactly 3 years since we came to the United States, there was a piece of mail from Sukjune's school in the mailbox. It was a US President's Education Awards Program Certificate. This award is given to students who achieved excellent grades and had outstanding abilities in various fields. Sukjune is always positive and tries earnestly to keep himself from falling into the world. He offers service in spirit and in truth and enjoys offering what he has to God. When Sukjune first came to the United States, everything was unfamiliar and he couldn't communicate in English. But he began to learn, little by little, with the faith that the Lord is always with him. As a result, he glorified God by receiving a 4.0 in all subjects in the 6th grade, and achieving excellent scores on his English and math tests which were administered by the state of Oregon.

Though people of this country live an abundant life, they are in a spiritually dark environment. I feel saddened when I see people "leading a life of faith" without hope for heaven. One day I shared "The Message of the Cross" cassette tape with a Korean family in the neighborhood. They confessed that they hadn't heard this kind of message and began to listen to other messages through the church website since then. I give thanks to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee for always covering us with prayer and love. Our hope is that a Manmin branch church will be established in our town so that many will experience the holiness gospel and works of God's power.

Yours Truly, Deacon Jung-kyu Moon from Oregon, USA
