In 1974,
the Korean pastor Yonggi Cho (Seoul)
was urgently called to go home from an elders meeting.
When he arrived there,
he found his 5-year-old son dying. At that time, fruit in Seoul had been
poisoned by a deranged person.
As Cho was called to his son, 30 other
children had already died of the poisoning.
Cho told us at a conference:
"I simply did not want to accept the death of my son.
After hours of
intense prayer and crying, he died anyway.
Beside myself, I had to watch him
grow cold and stiff, yet I still could not give up.
I told God I will not
leave this room until you give my son back. And my son lived!"
Cho's son
told his father that he had met Jesus in heaven and that he had seen many
dead Christians from Chos church there,
who shouted "Look, here comes
the pastor's son!" Jesus told him: "I cannot keep you here, because
your father will not let you go, so I'll send you back to him."
The now
26-year-old is a missionary in Paris
and learns French.
