Christian Medical Conference Draws Global Attendance

The 6th International Christian Medical Conference was held at the President Hotel, Kiev, Ukraine, on Oct. 30 and 31, 2009, under the auspices of the Ukraine Organizing Committee of the WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network), whose founder and board chairman is Rev. Dr. Lee Jae-rock. It was attended by 400 doctors and medical professionals from 30 nations, including the U.S. and Italy, and featured many medical doctors from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and many other Russian-speaking nations.

On Oct 30, the conference kicked off with opening remarks from Dr. Mikhail Morgulis, president of the Spiritual Diplomacy movement, and a welcoming address by Dr. Gilbert Chae, president of the WCDN. It was followed by a special message from Lee, founder and board chairman of WCDN, who presented a video of himself in which he said, ``Now if you become a true disciple of Jesus Christ, you will not only heal many people's physical diseases but also heal and save their souls as well.''

During the Conference, an Australian Doctor Irene Jacovou presented a healing case of a 68-year-old man, and this was the most outstanding case of healing presented. In 2003, he was diagnosed to have severe emphysema, asthma and alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency, and had a bilateral lung transplant and received immunosuppressive therapy. In 2008, he noticed a skin lesion on the top of the right shoulder, which was later found to be a malignant tumor. He was diagnosed with skin cancer and was surgically treated, but it recurred. In October, 2008, cancer cells metastasized to chest and lungs, and he was sentenced to live just a few months longer because of this cancer. In winter of that same year he attended a Christian healing prayer meeting and tumor regression started. All the tumors in his skin were gone through fervent prayers, and the CT scan showed that lung metastases disappeared.

A Ukrainian Doctor Larisa from Ukraine presented the case of healing on hepatitis C by prayer, and this was really confirmed as the person of the same case firsthand showed up and testified to his healing. Another Australian doctor Mieke Kuiper presented the case of healing of eclampsia and subarachnoid hemorrhage by prayer. Two Korean doctors presented the cases of healing of the infected cystic mass in the submandibular area and the retroperitoneal necrotizing fascitis due to perforated acute appendicitis, with scientific and medical data confirming the healing cases. In addition, the many cases of the healing of various diseases including schizophrenia, pancreonecrosis, and AIDS that cannot be cured with medicine but only by the power of God.

Whenever the healing cases were presented, the audience submitted various questions and the speakers gave sincere and effective answers, which made the conference exciting.

Dr. Jenis av Rana from the Faroe Islands commented, ``I am running a radio station and our station broadcasts various works of God's healing every Thursday. When I am back home, I will let my staff introduce the healing cases presented during this conference and share them with as many listeners. Then, they will send their prayer requests for their problems to us.''

Dan Wooding, founder and international director of the ASSIST ministry, said, ``At the same time that Ukrainian candidates are battling each other for votes in the upcoming presidential election, Christian doctors gathering in Kiev, the country's capital, for a `Spirituality and Medicine' conference, have already cast their vote for 'miracles."'

The WCDN was organized to medically analyze divine healing cases performed by God, clarify the data before and after the healing, and testify with that data that God is alive and the Bible is authentic, and thereby to awaken not only unbelievers but intellectual people, including medical doctors and scientists. There are annual international Christian medical conferences in Seoul; Chennai, India; Cebu City, the Philippines; Miami; Trondheim, Norway; and Kiev. The 7th Conference will be held in Rome.
