Episode 14 Two Ears as a Sacrifice for Church Building Fund Donation


God asked us to do God's work before our daughter's surgery. My daughter's surgery, which she had to do someday, was postponed because of building the temple but it turned out to be even better


Two years after our first son was born, a daughter, Da Jeong was born. It was February, when the wind chill in the harsh winter touched the tip of my nose. It was about four months after moving from the tent church at 158 โ€‹โ€‹Bongcheon-dong, Seoul, to an unauthorized 2-story building in 426.96sqft.


I was staying alone in a pocky little room blocked and decorated with veneered plywood
as a cramped space about 71.16sqft. At the time, my wife worked at  a place where she could have meals and sleep so we met once a week. My wife worked even the day before labor. 


Her labor was approaching at dawn, so she quickly took a taxi to run to me. My wife came in when I was praying at a morning prayer worship service. As soon as she arrived at church, she had contractions. Just in time, Deacon Yoon Young-soon, who came to pray at the dawn service, became a midwife helper.


A girl was born. As I embraced the bloody newborn baby, immediately a sigh of “God!” came out of my mouth. One of the girl’'s ears
was small and not formed properly. About 10 days later, we went to the otolaryngology department of Yeongdeungpo City Hospital with my baby in my arms. The doctor bluntly said.


“You should take your baby to a plastic surgery surgeon, not an otolaryngologist.”


I asked the doctor why the baby was like this. The doctor said, “God must have a sense of humor,” and said he didn’t know either.


This condition is called microtia. It is said to affect one out of 100,000 people. The doctor told me that we had no choice but to live as it
is. However, since she is a girl, it would be good for her to undergo cosmetic surgery. It would be three or four plastic surgeries to straighten her ear.


At that time, the congregation was about 10 church members who were all poor and were underprivileged. Moreover, two seniors were ill. In this environment, we couldn't afford to pay for our daughter's ear surgery.


When my daughter Da Jeong was three years old, she began to be conscious of her ears. She unconsciously covered her ears with her hair and became emotionally distressed. We as parents couldn't do anything that was heartbreaking.


The number of church members was gradually on the rise, and my salary also increased. Frustrated, my wife said she decided to save up money for daughter’s ear surgery.


“Even if we are strapped, we will have to open a savings account to make monthly payments 500,000 won ($500) in a three-year plan for our daughter’s ear surgery.”


At the time, 500,000 ($500)
won was the price of 71.16 sqft of land. By the time the savings account was about to be withdrawn for daughter’s surgery, the church was planning to purchase 7116 sqft of land and was working on architectural design for a temple.

One day, after the morning prayer service, I noticed my wife’s eyes were swollen.


“Why did you cry so much? What's going on?"


“Honey, God inspired me to offer the money that we have saved for Da Jeong’s ear surgery to the church as a building donation.


"No! No way! We will serve and minister to people for the rest of our life, but we need to help our daughter to undergo a surgery before starting to go to school.


“Even so, God continues to give me the desire to donate the savings in my heart. Please pray about it.”


I couldn't dare to pray because I thought what if my wife's word was truly God's will. Early in the morning, I finally made up my mind and sat down to pray at the morning prayer service. As soon as I prayed, God’s voice was like thunder in my heart.

'How can you not even have faith as much as your wife’s faith?'


I could not deny God's will. Thinking of my daughter, tears spilled from my eyes as much as tears my wife shed last night.


We finally agreed to show our faith that we love the Lord
more than our daughter through church building donations. The donation was not simply money, but one of daughter’s ears as a sacrifice. 


In the end, with eighty church members we pulled together and bought
7116 sqft of land. The church continued to grow and congregation members are about two hundred members. My wife opened a savings account again to make monthly payments 500,000 won ($500) with a three-year plan for daughter’s ear surgery.


After entering elementary school, my daughter was treated with ridicule by her class peers, and other children of her age whispered that she had only one ear. My daughter gradually did not want to go to school. Every morning we comforted her and sent her to school. My wife and I comforted each other with prayers throughout the day. Finally, the savings account was about to be withdrawn for my daughter's surgery. With this money, she would be able to get the first surgery. 


Around that time, the church started building the temple on the land bought three years ago. All the church members tried all their best to participate in the cord of three strands unity prayer movement for the building of the temple.


A cord of three strands prayer is to pray all night for each day of the week, then do fasting prayer for 40 days in groups of 40 people, and finally take turns to pray for 24 hours in a relay in each prayer group. In addition, about 200 church members all participated in offering church building donations.


As in the gold-collecting campaign, the church members collected jewelry and donated them to the church. The gold contributed by
the two hundred church members was valued as 93,805,000 ($ 93,805). In the midst of this, my wife and I were moved by the Holy Spirit at the same time. We decided to donate all the money we had prepared for my daughter's ear surgery as another sacrificial offering for temple building  again.


5 million won ($5,000) was the price of 355.8sqft of land at the time. God allowed us to give it to the church not once, but twice.


Abraham offered to God the entire body of his only son, Isaac, born at the age of 100 as a burnt offering. My wife and I believed that our daughter's ear surgery would be done in God's way in His timing. In the end, we gave our daughter's ear twice to God for the building of the temple.


The building of the temple was completed. A large sanctuary worship room accommodating 600 people and education facilities were built at 12,097sqft. 

On the day of the church building dedication service, I was so blessed and shed tears of emotions. Shortly thereafter, an article was published in the Chosun Ilbo Newspaper about Professor Park Chul, who successfully performed the first microtia surgery in South Korea.


I knew at once that this news was a gift from God to my family. I called the hospital right away. I was told that there were already 250 people waiting for a microtia surgery.
Although there was no time limit, I booked my daughter's surgery with hope.


God asked us to do God's work before our daughter's surgery. My daughter's surgery, which she had to do someday, was postponed
because of building the temple but it turned out to be even better.


During the 22 years I stayed focused on church ministry, Medicine has made huge strides for about the last two decades and excellent doctors
were distributed to perform with the latest technical skills. Professor Park Chul, who was introduced in the newspaper. I felt that God sent him after equipping him with advanced surgical skills for our daughter Da Jeong.


This surgery was performed at Yeongdong Severance Hospital under the supervision of Professor Park Cheol while Da Jeong was studying composition at the College of Music at Dankook University. The cost of the surgery was 2,300,000 won ($23,000). At an all-night prayer service on Friday, a week before the surgery, I told the congregation about my daughter's ear, which I had
hidden until then and asked them to pray for a successful surgery.


That night, the church members sobbed a lot as if it were their own matter. From the next day until Da Jeong's ear surgery was completed, generous donations were given from here and ther
e and the total amount was 2,700,000 won ($27,000). God helped us to find my daughter’s lost ear and overflow charitable donations to cover the cost of surgery. God pours His great grace on those who seek Him first and follow the priorities of life.


“ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33, NIV).
