A Friday-night healing meeting at one of South Korea's largest evangelical churches has sparked an outpouring of healing testimonials from worshippers across multiple continents, with accounts circulating online of recoveries from bone fractures, nerve pain, and chronic spinal conditions.
The May 29 service at Manmin Central Church in Seoul was led by Senior Pastor Dr. Soojin Lee, who preached from the Old Testament book of 2 Kings before conducting intercessory prayer for members who had submitted prayer requests from roughly 30 countries.
Before the sermon, the congregation viewed a video testimony from Gyeongsuk Won, a 57-year-old woman from Seoul's Dongjak district, who recounted being diagnosed with shingles in March. She said five days of hospital treatment failed to relieve the pain, but that it began to ease after receiving pastoral prayer. She reported that severe abdominal pain vanished during a Sunday service on the 22nd, with her shoulder pain and lumbar spinal stenosis improving as well. Her physician had estimated the recovery would take more than a month, but she said she was well within days.
The medical documentation related to this healing case underwent medical verification by Dr. Yoonseok Chae (MD, PhD), President of WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network).
Among the international accounts, a man identified as Dipanshu from India said he had been told surgery was unavoidable after fracturing his shoulder in a motorcycle collision roughly two weeks prior. He claimed to have regained the ability to walk and lift his arm during the prayer session.
Manmin Central Church, founded in 1982, holds bimonthly healing services and has cultivated a global online presence through its GCN television network and YouTube channel. The upcoming August 3 event, held as part of the church's summer retreat, will also be livestreamed.
These services reflect a broader current within South Korean evangelical Christianity. The practice of combining doctrinal preaching with intercessory prayer for physical healing continues to draw consistent participation not only domestically and among Korean diaspora communities around the world, but also from a significant number of local foreign attendees, a fact that has come to define Pastor Soojin Lee's gatherings as a genuinely international phenomenon.
