Top Korean doctor reveals why he believes in spiritual healing and is now dedicating his life to investigating miracles that cannot be explained medically

By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Dr. Joonha Hwang, a top South Korean doctor who graduated from medical school in in his homeland, has a medical license as well as a PhD in Neurophysiology, has revealed why he believes in spiritual healing.

Dr. Joonha Hwang

In an interview during the 8th Annual Christian Medical Conference held in Brisbane, Australia, from June 11-12, 2011, he said that he has given up his medical practice to dedicated his life to investigating miracles that cannot be explained medically. Dr. Hwang, who is vice-president of the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), based in Seoul, South Korea, the group who organized the gathering that attracted some 220 doctors and medical professionals from 30 countries, said that it is important that medical data be examined about claimed miracles as quite often medical people are skeptical about whether they are real or not.

“We have uncovered many testimonies of how the power of God has healed patients and when doctors hear this kind of news, they become curious,” he said. “They want to know if it true or just a story that someone has made up.

“So that is why we put on these ‘Spirituality and Medicine’ conferences each year and then present medical data before and after the patient got prayed for. As far as I know, we at WCDN are the only Christian medical organization that invites doctors to come and hear from other doctors and are then able to openly discuss the evidence of divine healing.”

Dr. Hwang is now fulltime in the WCDN ministry and so I asked him about how it began.
“WCDN held its first conference in in Korea in 2004 and since then we have gathered each year in various countries around the world which have included India, the Philippines, the United States, Norway, Ukraine and last year in Italy,” he said.
Why was Australia chosen for the latest conference?

“Australia,” he replied, “is a very westernized and secular country with what we first thought were just a few doctors who were interested in divine healing.

Two doctors from Brisbane, Australia -- Dr. Mieke Kuiper and Dr. Irene Jacovou – who helped organize this year's conference

“At first, we were actually worried about inviting Australian doctors because, as I said, it is so westernized and very secular, but we are pleased to say that we found some very good Christian doctors here who are interested, in fact very enthusiastic, about using the power of God in medicine. So I am very happy about that.” Like with all of the WCDN conferences, the Brisbane event featured doctors who presented case studies on what they claimed were “miracles” and showed on a big screen the medical date to prove how desperately ill the patient had been and then told the story of that patient who had been healed in a way that could not be explained other than God had done the curing.

“The doctors present the cases and then allow the other doctors to ask any questions about that particular case and the presenter answers them,” he stated. “Of course, the doctors who ask the questions have great knowledge about medicine and so they are able to judge the validity of the presentation.”

Back from the Dead. Dr. George sharing his story

One amazing case what that presented by Dr. Sean Thomas George, an ethnic Indian doctor who is now a consultant physician in a West Australian hospital. “I was dead for 1 hour and 25 minutes, but came back to life after my wife prayed a simple prayer,” said Dr. George, who provided all kinds of medical data that put on a large screen for the other doctors to check out.
He said that it on October 24, 2008, he returned from the dead to amaze colleagues who had battled for almost 55 minutes to revive his lifeless heart.

He said that the story began when, five days after running a medical clinic in Vanuatu, Dr. George was returning from a clinic session on the south coast of Australia with his intern when he felt minor chest pains and was “unusually hot.”

He went on, “I decided to stop the car and, as I got out and still feeling the discomfort, I called my wife, also a doctor, to let her know what was happening. She suggested that I drove straight home to Kalgoorlie.”
Dr. George said that as he did, he felt “divinely directed” to enter a clinic in Kambalda, 50 kilometers (31.6 miles) short of Kalgoorlie, where he used an electro-cardiogram (ECG) to diagnose a heart attack and receive the few drugs they had there.

“The pain,” he said, “was getting worse and 11 minutes after the ECG my heart completely stopped beating. Not only did I have a heart attack but I went into cardiac arrest.”

For the next 60 minutes, a team of doctors and nurses used over 4,000 chest compressions and gave him 13 electrical shocks but neither his heart nor lungs responded. After one hour and 10 minutes, the doctor was pronounced dead.

Ten minutes later, his wife arrived from Kalgoorlie and was told she go in and say goodbye.

Dr. George continued by saying, “Being a doctor herself, Sherry knew that medical science had proved that if the blood supply to the brain was cut off for over three minutes the brain would begin to die, and in 20 minutes the brain would be completely dead. But as she and I had trusted Jesus Christ as Almighty God and Savior, she decided to humbly ask Him to intervene.

“Holding my hand, she prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, he is only 39, I am only 38 and we have a ten year boy. I need a miracle.’

“As soon as she said this it was as though someone had breathed life into me again and my heartbeat came back.”

Four hours later, Dr. George was flown to Royal Perth Hospital where doctors carried out an emergency procedure to clear a severely blocked artery on the right side of heart.

“The doctor thought I would not survive, and even if I did, I would be completely brain dead on a ventilator. In Perth ICU, I had kidney and liver failure and was still in a deep coma.”

Three days later, on Sunday, after all the odds, the doctor opened his eyes. The next day, he was moving his hands and legs.

On Wednesday, he was fully conscious and off the ventilator, and his memory and brain were fully functional. Then two weeks later, he was discharged and returned to full-time work after three months of steady recovery.”
As he reflected before his medical colleagues on these miraculous events, Dr. George says that he believes God wanted to teach him some important truths.

“It has proved to me that Jesus really is Creator God and Sustainer of life and that He hears and responds to the humble prayers of His servants,” he said. “I now also understand that eternity is only a breath away.
“The experience has definitely grown my relationship with God. I am now more conscious that are only that we are pilgrims on this earth, and that this life is only for a short time. So we need to focus on what lies ahead in eternity.”

Now back to Dr. Hwang. I then asked him what he would say to doctor who do not believe in divine healing and does not believe that God can heal.

“I want to say that please come to one of our WCDN conferences and you can see for yourself, the evidence of divine healing backed up with clear medical data and then you can ask any questions about your doubts or curiosity, and you will become convicted that God is working now just as he worked in the past in the Bible period.”

Some of the Kenyan doctors inviting delegates to next year's conference in Nairobi

He then revealed that next year’s conference will be held sometime near the end of May in Nairobi, Kenya. “We have had a wonderful group of Kenyan doctors who have traveled to Brisbane from Kenya and we are hoping that doctors will attend from all over Africa, as well as many other countries of the world,” said Dr. Hwang.

A Miracle in the Faroe Islands
According to local doctor a famous musician and worship leader is healed
By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- It is a long way from the remote Faroe Islands, a small group of islands situation between Norway and Iceland with a population of just 48,000, to Brisbane, Australia.

Dr. Rana praising God during the conference

But a Christian doctor from there was one of the 220 delegates that had travelled from 30 countries to attend the 8th Annual Christian Medical Conference June 11-12, 2011, in Brisbane, and he brought with him some good news. Dr. Jenis av Rana, who works as a physician in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, said in an interview with me that despite the small population, "there are so many believing Christians in the islands and God has blessed us so much and the that the Faroe Islands is now sending many missionaries out to other countries.

"We are also seeing many miracles in our islands," he added. "I am a doctor who fully believes in the power of prayer and divine healing."
Then he shared with me a "recent miracle" that he said took place in the life of Eydun Jacobsen, a "well-known singer and song-writer" in the Faroe Islands.

An album cover from the musician

"This took place about six week ago," said Dr. Rana. "Eydun Jacobsen is a Charismatic Christian who is about 55 years of age and is well known for his songs about loving God and following him. He is also known in other countries in Scandinavia for his songs. "But then, about six months ago, he suffered a stroke which resulted in him not being able to use his left hand, legs and he also had trouble speaking. When he had the stroke he was taken to the hospital and because the effects of it were so severe, he was kept there for several months.
"After four months, they told him one Friday evening that couldn't help him anymore. By then he was not able to use his left leg or his left hand as the fingers were paralyzed."
Dr. Rana said that the singer-songwriter was discharged and went home, but became frustrated because he couldn't play the guitar or piano anymore.


"He attends a good church that believes in miracles and on a Sunday evening shortly after leaving the hospital, and halfway through the meeting, he wondered if God had forgotten about him as he was still unable to use his limbs," said Dr. Rana.

"He finally went out to the cantina to eat and he sat and talked to another man at the table. His grown up daughter came to look for him and when she found him, she said, 'Dad, they're praying for people now. You should come and be part of it.' However, he wasn't so sure saying that people had prayed for him so many times before for his healing and he was still sick. He then told his daughter, 'I've tried and tried, and nothing works."
The doctor said that the daughter persisted and asked him to please come for prayer one more time. But he still wouldn't go with her saying that if God wanted to heal him, he would have done so by now.

Dr. Rana then said, "Finally, he relented and went back into the church but still was complaining to himself saying, 'Why am I going inside here. I have tried it so many times before and it hasn't worked.'

"Two young men were praying for the people and they looked at him and asked him to come over to them. They then laid hands on him and started to pray and suddenly he felt something begin to happen in his arm.

"His fingers then started to open and within a few seconds he was totally healed. He could walk quite normally where he couldn't before. He could use all the fingers all the hand there was no problem at all."

"It was amazing. The following day (Monday morning) he went to the hospital and he met the physiotherapist and some others who were there to try and help him after the stroke and he told them, 'I am healed.'

Korean worship group

"They looked at his hand and asked him what had happened and he told them that the Lord had healed him. All of his limbs were now working normally and he is now back and able to play his wonderful music." This was just one of many amazing healing stories that I heard about during this unique "Spirituality and Medicine" Conference. Besides, many case studies with medical data flashed onto large screens, the delegates were blessed by the beautiful Korean worship group that had traveled from Seoul, Korea, to participate.
At the end of the conference, it was announced that next year's World Christian Doctors Network conference will be end near the end of May in Nairobi, Kenya.

Christian doctors to prescribe ‘spiritual healing’ for sickness

Saturday, 04 June 2011 20:26 peter nyoni Religion

They will gather in Brisbane, Australia, as the city recovers from the devastating floods that hit the area earlier this year, to discuss ‘Spirituality in Medicine’ 

By Dan Wooding

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Christian doctors and medical professionals will be traveling from many different countries from around the world to prescribe “spiritual healing” as an answer to sickness in the 21st Century, during a unique conference in Brisbane, Australia from June 11-12, 2011

Two Australian doctors pictured at last year's gathering in Rome. They are helping to organize this year's conference in Brisbane

The doctors will examine actual case studies of miracles presented by various respected doctors as they search for evidence of Divine Healing at the 8th Annual International “Spirituality and Medicine” Conference to be held for two days at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Brisbane, Australia, is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland and the third most populous city in Australia.

Earlier this year, Brisbane and others parts of Queensland was devastated by floods and besieged residents were forced to watch the monster river consume their homes and livelihoods and then had to confront the devastating destruction and putrid, tar-like sludge left by the receding waters.

The floods forced the evacuation of thousands of people from towns and cities in the state. At least seventy towns and over 200,000 people were affected. Three-quarters of the state of Queensland was declared a disaster zone

But now, as the city and the area recovers from such devastation, it plans to welcome hundreds of Christian medics who will be examining data presented by their peers about “miracles” that they believe prove that God has intervened in impossible situations.

The event is being sponsored by the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), an interdenominational organization composed of Christian medical professionals from around the world who believe in divine healing.

“WCDN wants to motivate Christian medical professionals to reflect the love of Jesus Christ and to be a witness for Him in their professional life,” explained a spokesperson for the organization.

He went on to say, “Two thirds of medical schools in the US, including Harvard and Johns Hopkins, offer courses on spirituality and faith in their curriculums, largely because patients are demanding more spiritual care. According to a Newsweek poll, 84% of Americans said that praying for others can have a positive effect on their recovery.”

Along this line of thought, a group of Christian medical doctors started WCDN to tackle issues on spirituality in the context of the Christian medical practitioner, with its main intention of influencing and equipping Christian doctors “by sharing the goodness of Christ in the form of proclaiming the gospel principally through the healing ministry.”

As in all of their international conferences, the medical professions will be searching for cases of divine healing with verified medical evidence. Several of them will be making presentations and afterwards, their peers are then able to question them about whether this is a verifiable miracle or not.

“During the walk of Jesus here on earth, a major strategy He used to proclaim His Lordship was to heal the sick,” said the WCDN spokesperson. “It is our role as His expert witnesses to testify to the works of healing by the Power of God with verified medical data, therefore giving the glory to our Father God who is the Almighty and to Him who is the Healer, the Lord Jesus.”  Dan Wooding is the Founder of ASSIST Ministries

Founder of ASSIST Ministries BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Dr. Fidel Cholo Fernandez, a 57-year-old pathologist from the city of Zamboanga in the Philippines, spends his days studying diseases under the microscope, but he also is a believer in divine healing.

Dr. Fidel Cholo Fernandez with his wife Leticia

Fernandez is one of more than 220 doctors, scientists and medical professionals from 30 countries who are gathered in Brisbane, a city that earlier this year was devastated by floods, to participate in the 8th World Christian Doctors Network “Spirituality and Medicine” conference Held on June 11-12, 2010, the medics -- many of whom pray for their patients as well as giving them more usual treatment -- to explore whether miracles still happen today and, if they do, to provide medical data to prove them.

The doctor’s believe that all “miracles” should be provable by data, and so they are giving case studios that are presented with the data flashed on large screens in the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The Philippines-born doctor told me about a particular healing -- the story of a Korea Christian called Deacon Han who had been diagnosed with early gastric cancer following an endoscopic study on September, 2002.

“Deacon Han received an endoscopy test once again on December, 2002, but a biopsy was not performed at that time because the lesion had not improved,” said Dr. Fernandez. “He was told that he should undergo an operation for gastric cancer, he didn’t because he had a belief in God.”

The patholgist said that Deacon Han had traveled from his home town to the Manmin Central Church in Seoul where he received prayer for his sickness from Dr. Jaerock Lee, the senior pastor.

“From that moment, he gained weight and was sure that he was healed,” said Fernandez. “Finally, he confirmed his healing two months later by another endoscopic test at the local internal medicine clinic, when no vestige of the gastric cancer was found. After a year, an endoscopy and biopsy test was done to him by the doctor who diagnosed his original case and finally the doctor gave his report that the patient didn’t have the symptom of gastric cancer.” "It was a miracle," pronounced Dr. Fernandez.

I then asked this charming doctor if he had ever experienced a personal miracle in his own life.

“Well,” he said, “the best example would be my son who was born with a congenital disease. Before he was born, the doctors told me that he could only live possibly for one year. We were pushed against the wall and my wife Leticia, who is a nurse, and myself, just relied on prayer and he's now in his mid-twenties so that's a great miracle for me.”

I then asked Leticia, 53, why she had come to the “Spirituality and Medicine” gathering.
“I have worked with the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) since 2005 and I've become active in the organization and have even invited doctors and other medical workers to attend the conference,” she said. “I am finding that there are a lot of doctors who believe in miracles, but some others are still skeptics.”

Dr. Gilbert Chae

On the first morning, delegates were given a message by Dr. Gilbert Chae, President of WCDN, who said, “I give thanks to God that He enabled us to hold the 8th WCDN conference in this beautiful country of Australia. “In the trend of the world that loves money and pleasure and puts focus just on freedom, we are living in a world where the Darwinian evolutionism is widely spread along with the development of science.

“Many souls are going to the world without having knowledge of God. It is a world when it is difficult to discern between the good and evil for there are just so many things that are against the word of God, including the proliferation of the acceptance of homosexuality and abortion.

“In this kind of trend, this WCDN conference will try to provide moral guidelines to the Christian doctors in an attempt for us to become a beam of light in that world that keeps on darkening.”

Dr. Mieke Kuiper during a worship session

Dr. Mieke Kuiper, a Dutch-born family physician who has worked in and around Brisbane for 30 years, and is Chairman of the organizing committee of the WCDN Conference in Brisbane, said, “We now are living in the most exciting days of all times – the closing of the end of the ages (Matthew 18). The earth’s birth pangs have begun, the natural disasters now occurring in increasing magnitude. “News of new earthquakes is almost weekly (Mathew 24.8). Australia has seen some of its worst flooding and cyclones this year, coming after crippling draught.”

Dr. Kuiper went on to say, “The earth is waiting for the sons and daughters of God to arise and bring freedom and restoration.”

She also said, “Australia, wake up, wake up!”

The conference continues tomorrow (Sunday).

WCDN(World Christian Doctors Network) Introduction

About the World Christian Doctor’s Network (WCDN)

Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, WCDN’s Founder & Board Chairman, has travelled all over the world and conducted mega-sized crusades that were accompanied with signs and wonders confirming the authenticity of the Bible and the existence of God. His crusades were broadcast worldwide via satellites, cable networks, analog television broadcasting and the Internet. He has also awakened many souls from spiritual slumber through the broadcast ministry of the Global Christian Network (GCN) and the multi-lingual publication of his books.  

In a way similar to how Luke, who was a medical doctor, served the Lord. Dr. Jaerock Lee has been unsparingly supporting the Christian medical ministry of WCDN so that the works and the power of the Living God can be proclaimed all over the world.

WCDN was founded through his enthusiastic support, and the organization is serving the Lord as an international and interdenominational part of His ministry. WCDN not only presents the proper ethics worthy of Christian medical doctors, but also is meeting the goal of collecting cases of divine healing that are taking place all over the world through the power of prayer. Confirmation through detailed analysis and documentation of medical and scientific data are compiled in order to give testimony to the existence of the Living God and the healing power of Jesus Christ.     

 

WCDN has been hosting an annual international medical conference since its founding. The first International Christian Medical Conference in 2004 was held in Seoul, South Korea; the second conference in 2005, in Chennai, India; the third conference in 2006 was in Cebu, the Philippines; the fourth conference in 2007, was in Miami, USA; the fifth conference in 2008 was in Trondheim, Norway; the sixth conference in 2009 was held in Kiev, the Ukraine; and the seventh conference in 2010 was in Rome, Italy. Each conference brought hundreds of doctors and medical professionals from more than 40 nations.  The conference venue was filled with successful discussions and confirmations of divine healing cases. Through these annual conferences WCDN has grown rapidly in quality and quantity and the holy name of God the Healer has been greatly exalted.                  

The holy teachings of the Lord that plant true life and true love into the hearts of believers in Christ and the various wonders and miraculous signs are particularly characteristic of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles recorded by the Apostle Luke. Doctors and other medical professionals are helping many people come to know and become assured of the existence of God through the confirmation and presentation of these divine healing works and miracles. With sincere dedication they will continue to perform these duties and responsibilities until the last moment through WCDN.

About Lee-Jaerock 
He was born in Muan, Jeonnam Province, Republic of Korea, in 1943. In his twenties, Rev. Dr. Lee had suffered from a variety of incurable diseases for seven years and awaited death with no hope for recovery. One day in the spring of 1974, however, he was led to a church by his sister and when he knelt down to pray, the living God immediately healed him of all his diseases.
 

From the moment Rev. Dr. Lee met the living God through that wonderful experience, he has loved God with all his heart and sincerity, and in 1978 was called to be a servant of God. He prayed fervently so that he could clearly understand the will of God and wholly accomplish it, and obeyed all the Word of God. In 1982, he founded Manmin Joong-ang Church in Seoul, S. Korea, and countless works of God, including miraculous healings and wonders, have been taking place at his church. In 1986, Rev. Dr. Lee was ordained as a pastor at the Annual Assembly of Jesus' Sungkyul Church of Korea, and four years later in 1990, his sermons began to be broadcast on the Far East Broadcasting Company, the Asia Broadcast Station, and the Washington Christian Radio System to Australia, Russia, the Philippines, and many more. Three years later in 1993, Manmin Central Church was selected as one of the "World's Top 50 Churches" by the Christian World magazine (US) and he received an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Christian Faith College, Florida, USA, and in 1996 a Ph. D. in Ministry from Kingsway Theological Seminary, Iowa, USA.

Since 1993, Rev. Dr. Lee has taken the lead in world mission through many overseas crusades in the USA, Tanzania, Argentina, Uganda, Japan, Pakistan, Kenya, the Philippines, Honduras, India, Russia, Germany, Peru and DR Congo, and in 2002 he was called a "worldwide pastor" by major Christian newspapers in Korea for his work in various overseas crusades.
