“I was healed of my Terminal stage colorectal cancer thanks to Julia's prayer!!!"

David Lee Moon-hee's Testimony 

(Julia Kim's middle school teacher)

It was three years ago. I had gas in my stomach and felt bloated from some moment, so I couldn't even eat properly. Unlike usual, my symptoms were getting worse and worse, and in the fall of that year, for the first time in my life, I had both a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy.

“Terminal stage colorectal cancer!” A death sentence was imposed on me, like the sky is falling, such a kind of a bolt out of the blue that I could not even imagine.

On November 16, 2015, until the moment I was headed to the operating room at 8:00 in the early morning, even though I had no faith in God, I only prayed to God for saving my life.

After a lengthy four-hour operation in which my large intestine was cut by 30cm, I was moved to the ward that evening without dying, thanks to God's protection.

The very next day, unexpectedly, Julia and her companions visited me in the hospital. Julia immediately told me to untie the belly bandage that was tying up my surgical site.

When I took off the bandage, the discharge from the surgery scars on my stomach, which had not healed, were oozing out. Without a single hesitation, Julia immediately put her lips on my surgical scar and began to blow 33 breaths with a big breath on the spot where the surgery was performed.

As soon as Julia's lips touched the scars of surgery, I felt as if I was touching a blazing fireball, and I felt my whole body was being heated from the tip of my toes to the tip of my hair.

Then, as my whole body was enveloped in the scent of roses, the thoughts of endless gratitude and grace rose up within my heart fully and densely like the fog with rainbow colors. “I am healed. I am now being healed."

Julia said to me, “Teacher, as you don’t know about faith yet, when I pray, please just say, "Amen! Amen! Amen!" All you need to do is earnestly respond with ‘Amen!’” I said. While she was praying wholeheartedly, I earnestly responded loudly, “Amen! Amen! Amen!” (At that time, David Lee Mun hee-didn’t know God.)

And Julia gathered great strength with all her might, and gave me 33 times of hot breath. When I returned to the ward, my heart continued to burn with infinite heat and began to fill with the conviction that ‘I will surely be healed!’

During my stay in the ward, I lived almost every night in a dream filled with joy. Julia was not the human Julia to me, but the Virgin Mary standing right in front of me, came to me as an angel in white clothes just like Mother Mary, and touched my painful surgical scars and washed them away. I felt the new white flesh filling up from my scars.

When I was discharged 15 days after surgery, the attending physician tilted his head from side to side and said, "I can't believe it." Obviously, all of the professors involved saw the results together, but it was clear that I was terminal cancer patient before, but he said that I am currently undergoing rapid healing, which he could not even imagine, as around early stage 2 colorectal cancer.

And as you all can see today, on my 3rd year, I am recovering my health day by day. Julia and I met during her middle school days through a relationship between a teacher and student.

In the 1960s, when countless children died of starvation throughout the country from disease and deprivation, I built a middle school with my bare hands every year as a 22-year-old vigorous young man in Bonghwang-myeon, Naju City, my hometown.

When finishing the school classes, I rented a handcart from the local village, and prepared the ground for the school with the students, built up the mud wall to build the school.

When I was busy with doing it, Julia, as a young girl, helped me while carrying an A-frame on her back to the point where her back got blisters and building up the wall with mud blocks by putting her full effort. She took a lead in all this work helping me.

I had to hurry it before winter came. She was a model student with a strong sense of responsibility who helped with the work by applying the soil on the wall until late at night, with light a torch and putting up the hunger.

From that time on, she was already an excellent student who had matured and was the most cherished, receiving considerable attention and expectation from me.  She had a great devotion and consideration, sensitive to the needs of others, doing her best to take care of the difficulties of others around her before her own difficulties.

I think that she was the one who was open to the channel of the Holy Spirit with such a great devotion character. That's why she was enough to be chosen as the representative of the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

She has embraced all kinds of trials for the past 33 years. She has led countless souls in this barren world who have been deeply ill in body and spirit and in despair and frustration to the way of healing grace. She has become a torch light that instills new hope and motivation to them.

I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to Julia on this occasion and pray ardently that Naju shrine may be fully honored with the glory of the official recognition. I return all this overwhelming glory and praise to the Lord and Blessed Mother. Amen!!!
