My Wonderful Dream Is Continually Growing in Faith and Best Efforts!



Sister Dakyung Sung
(Junior, Business Administration, Ewha Womans University)


In July of 2010, my father, Elder Nakhoon Sung, showed amazing changes in his life after he listened to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's 4-session sermon "The Seed of Life." He began reading Dr. Lee's religious books for more than 7 hours every day. He also told other family members including me to buy the books and read them. He asked us to underline important parts of each book and bear them in our minds.


Obeying my father's advice and focusing on armament of the Word of God

I obeyed my father's advice and bought a few books authored by Senior Pastor Dr. Lee. I read them as attentively as studying my college textbooks. I could gain many realizations and have valuable experiences from the books.
Above all, I came to know the fact that I should not only bear the message preached in my mind but also meditate on the contents like reviewing my study to put them into practice. As I attended Daniel Prayer Meeting, I prayed with the sermon's messages I had borne in my mind and my desire for sanctification through prayer became increasingly fervent.
For example, after reading the messages on true love, I came to understand what kind of love God wants us to have and began to examine detailed aspects of my daily life. I realized from my heart ill-feelings and trivial discomforts I had against my friends were evils. I eagerly prayed to throw away those ill-feelings and discomforts and at last I was liberated from those evil things. When I applied the Word of God to my daily life, I experienced spiritual growth and various blessing came upon me.


My grades were all A+ in my academics and I received a 100% scholarship

During my last semester I had many more major subjects and accordingly I had to study more and do more assignments. I didn't have enough time to study, but did my best not only to study but also to attend daily prayer meetings and Friday all-night service. After the prayer meetings and services, I stopped at the house to wash and eat desert and then went to the college library.
Sometimes while studying so attentively, in a short time I felt tired. On the way to school and back home, I listened to Dr. Lee's sermon "The Seed of Life" and the message drove away the tiredness from me. Relying on the Word of God, I could overcome tiredness and continue studying despite getting only 4 hours of sleep. When I was faithful not only in the works of God including worship service and prayer, but faithfully performed my studies as well, God allowed me to receive A+ (a 4.0 grade point average) in all my classes and I received an excellent scholarship.


Serving at the Business Summit as one of the 30 staff during the G20 Seoul Summit 2010

I also participated in various social activities with a desire to experience many things, because I hoped to be equipped with various skills and be a competent worker for the church.
In November of 2010, in answer to my prayer, I was allowed to serve at the Business Summit as one of the 30 staff during the G20 Seoul Summit 2010. In fact, 3,000 people gathered to be chosen as members of the 30 staff. I was selected by the grace of the Lord and widened my viewpoints at such a worldwide event.
I was also invited to attend the luncheon party held as an encouragement event for those whose works were being recognized, and received a commemorative gift given in the name of the Korean president from the Cheong Wa Dae (Office of the President, South Korea).
This coming August I am scheduled to fly to the United Sates for one-year study. Actually this chance was given to me because the Lord allowed for everything to be successful in my studies. How thankful I am that the Lord gave me many blessings through having been faithful in both the basics of a Christian life and in my studies. I believe God was pleased when I prayed without ceasing, enjoyed listening to the Word of God and practicing it, and performed my duty of studying. I give all thanks and glory to God.


Brother Daehoon Chung
(Freshman of Department of Global Eminence, Kyung Hee University)


"Wow! Success! Oh, Lord I really thank You!"
It was only by the grace of the Lord that I passed with a 100% essay test for admission to the Department of Global Eminence of the Kyung Hee University.
My academic records were the third level in the school grading system. In my preparation for college entrance, I inevitably concentrated on preparation for the standardized test. I knew the essay test was important, but I had no confidence in it. My mother earnestly prayed for me. She also prayed for Senior Pastor who was offering special vowed prayer to God.
A week before the College Scholastic Ability Test 2010, she dreamed an unusual dream. In her dream Senior Pastor appeared and said to her, "While I was praying for you, a flower bloomed. It's impressive!" A few days later she dreamed the 3 questions among the topics of the essay test were concerning water. She told me about the dream and asked me to prepare with that topic.
I closely read Dr. Lee's messages on water delivered at Friday all-night service and prepared for the essay test with the data. When the topics of the essay test were announced at the test place of the Kyung Hee University, I was really amazed to see 3 questions concerning water were announced. I was greatly moved in my heart. I wrote the essay in peace and great success.
Afterwards I knew the date of the announcement of those who passed the entrance examination but I thought it had nothing to do with me because there were many other students who had concentrated on the essay test. I chanced to check the result by the urging of my friends, and to my amazement, my name was among those who had passed the test for the Department of Global Eminence of Kyung Hee University.
Now whenever I pass the entrance of the university, my heart is pounding with joy and thanks for the love of the Lord. From the next year I will study Korean and western medicines and after graduation I will study more to become a dentist following in my father's career. I give thanks to my Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee who prayed for me and offer my thanks and glory to the Lord who helped me have spiritual experiences and improve my faith.
