‘God’s voice telling me to go to Berlin
And there meeting the promised pastor
This
is a confession of a member overseas who has graduated from Zion Church Center
I am OO OOO from Congo, Africa. I became a
Catholic devotee due to my parent’s influence since I was little, but later on
I converted to Protestantism as I became an adult. After, in the city of
Bremen, Germany, I would participate in Bible study meetings almost every day,
and without a doubt, never missed a Sunday service. Despite all this, I cried
and prayed to God day by day at the fact that I didn’t know what God’s will and
righteousness was. .
During a prayer, I received an answer
telling me to leave Bremen. I was helpless, not knowing where to go, so I
prayed desperately to God. And then, at last, I received another answer telling
me to go to Berlin. Despite the many complications, I obeyed by moving to
Berlin. However, I was again unable to hear God’s words. During service, I
would go to the restroom and confine myself there until it ended. “God, I do
not want to go to a church where there is no word. But since you sent me here,
I cannot leave. Please, save me,” as I said with an empty heart, I desperately
held onto praying.
Obeying God’s word by moving to Berlin from
Bremen, Germany.
And
then one day, near the end of year 2010, I met a woman, who turned my life 180
degrees. The first time I met her, she asked me three questions. The first
question was ‘Do you understand Mat 24:29,’ and I answered, “I don’t know.” The
second question was ‘Do you want to know the answer,’ and the third question
was, ‘Do you want to learn God’s word.’ As if I was drowning in water and
caught a hold of a straw, I told her, “I really want to learn.”
Right away, I started a one-on-one Bible
study with the woman, which then did I discover God’s will in sending me to
Berlin. I was extremely hungry for God’s word, so God showed compassion on me
and bestowed a gift of grace upon me. In May 2011, I entered Zion Church Center
and met a wonderful instructor, whom I’ve began to learn the word of Revelation
from.
I was one to never catch a cold in his
life, but as soon as I entered, I started to become very sick. I had doubts
about making it through; however, with the help of the prayers of the instructor
and member’s and the word that was food from the center, I was able to overcome
the illness. I completed the Introductory Test that I worried about, and then
my prayer request changed. ‘God, please help me to meet the promised pastor
just once.”
May
12, the unforgettable day I met the promised pastor in Berlin
But what is this? The promised pastor I
have been longing to meet was coming to Europe! I couldn’t sleep! I wasn’t
hungry even if I didn’t eat. I prayed with joy and waited eagerly until the day
the promised pastor came. As if it was a coincidence, just 10 days before the
Chairman Lee Man Hee’s arrival, I was able to give my first service at
Shinchonji Church. The bright look Shinchonji family had on while greeting me
was like that of an angel.
May
12, 2012, the most precious day to me that will be remembered forever.
