"I was born in Brazil and was saved at the World Camp in 2001, I came to Angola as a missionary's wife in 2017. The most touching part of watching the pastor's documentary on the TV was, "How did he live with the same faith from the beginning to the end?" Because he has never changed, I was able to receive salvation 20 years ago and now I am serving the gospel in Angola. Based on his life that has never changed, I was really grateful because I feel that faith led me to become who I am today. I'm very hopeful that your faith will continue to be delivered to these people in Angola."

Testimonies of Happiness and Joy

(Missionary Bum Seop Kim / Sao Paulo Church, Brazil)

"Brazil is completely in despair because of COVID-19, but the pastor's documentary, which aired this week, is becoming a big issue. After a month of editing the 5 episodes, which seemed impossible because of all the dubbing that was required, we feel that God is so gracious. As soon as the first episode was aired, the broadcasting station staff said that it was the first time since the broadcasting station opened that the site crashed because of the number of website visitors. That was such happy news for us. I'm so grateful that God planned and prepared all the journey of this documentary, and that it was a gift from God to us and Pastor Park as he lived only for the gospel his entire life."

(Pastor Emmanuel Cruz / Iskali Church, Mexico)

"I was happy to see Pastor Ock Soo Park's documentary this time. Spanish and Portuguese are similar, so I could understand the documentary to a certain extent. Other Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters could not understand everything because of different languages, but they testified that they were immersed in the cinematic beauty of the documentary. I was grateful to hear the familiar names of brothers and sisters and their testimonies through Pastor Park's sermon, and I hope the documentary will be translated into Spanish as soon as possible."

Pastor Gilson Batista / Brazilian Orthodox Baptist Church

"I could see that Pastor Park is a pastor who did not aim for just social activities. The documentary focused on the forgiveness of sin, which does not require any words about the extent of growth or the spirituality of the believer."

Daniele da Silva Rosa

"I watched this documentary with my boyfriend's family. His mother took these beautiful testimonies seriously. And my boyfriend talked about guilt and the Bible. A little later, his sister also spoke with him and said, "I'm righteous, I'm holy." I was very grateful to see his family receive the documentary seriously. I believe that God will work for these people someday."

Juscellino Miranda Juscelinho miranda / Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
