Many participants felt God’s healing hands upon them through His Word and through praise times during the meeting. They renewed their commitment to trust God’s healing hands, to fasten their hope to Him, to trust His promise of answered prayer, and to be like Jesus. They desire to be consistently involved in His ministry to help shed His light to the local community. It is also their hope to contribute to Korean Adventist church mission and growth
