For seven years I
taught school on a
small island off the
coast of Korea. Cut off
from the land and
friends, I sometimes
felt very lonely. When
these times of
loneliness, trouble,and homesickness came, I drank. I loved my wine and
eventually became an alcoholic. Without thinking of
the serious damage I was doing to my body, I thought
that I could not live without my wine. Often I would
forget to eat because of my heavy drinking.

For seven months before coming
to the prayer mountain, I could not
eat and was unable to walk. If I
drank even a little bit of water, I
would vomit and cough so that I
could not stand up. My heartbeat
was weak and I was taking many
different kinds of Chinese medicine
to try to make it stronger. I received countless injec-
tions, but each was effective for only a short while.

I gave my heart to Christ when I was young and have
tried to live for Jesus all my life. For 28 years I had suffered with a disease that was gradually leaving me paralyzed. I went to the Full Gospel Prayer Mountain to pray earnestly for the salvation of my son. I had always prayed that my son would
come to the Lord, but until that time he was not
interested in the things of God.

Prior to this time I had received medical treatment
and acupuncture treatments for three months, but my
condition was no better. My family advised me to go to
the hospital.
