"My short leg bone came to be normal!"

Brother Andrew Kim Dae-geon's Testimony

Hello. My name is Kim Han-gil, the religious Brother in Naju Shrine. My Catholic name is Andrew Kim Dae-geon. 

Our family has made the pilgrimage to Naju since 1992 and has received tremendous graces. My sister and I especially were deeply touched. So we decided to join the religious Community of Naju Shrine in 2011.

I was crushed under a car when I was six years old in 1993. My right leg was completely broken, and my shin bone was divided into three pieces.

As I was growing up, my right leg was just getting taller than the left after the broken bones were knit together. 

 The gap between both legs measured about 3cm long. I could not stand up straightly due to the gap. Because of it, I suffered from a backache that kept my body bent to one side. However, my mother and father wondered what was wrong with my back at this young age. I told them about the backache but they didn't understand. So many wounds I kept in my heart.

On Feb 12, 2004, when Mama Julia prayed for me, her hand just came to my chest at the moment. I felt like stroking my pains and aches, and that warm feeling nearly made me cry.

Then her hand continued to move up to my right knee. At a certain moment, Mama Julia began to suffer from back pains while praying over my knees. 

Despite that, she continued to pray for me, offering up her tremendous pains, and I felt something beating hard, something stronger, than the pulse on my knee. It was so marvelous, and only on my right knee! The beating sounded like cracking.

After about 10 minutes of fervent prayers by Mama Julia, my parents also touched my knee and heard the sound. My legs came to be exactly the same length at the moment! Even my back pain was also healed! Although I was a crooked-minded youth at that time, even such a wounded heart was healed! 

The amazing miracle of love and the excitement of the day when my leg became normal, the healing of my broken heart thanks to Mama Julia's devoted love and prayer will beat forever in my heart and in my family's Amen!!!
