Dr. Yoon-Soek Chae is the president of World Christian Doctors Network which is network of christian medical doctors around the world. Its ultimate aim is to bring glory to the Great Physician by witnessing to patients, as well as to colleagues and to the general population as a whole, about the great works of healing through the gospel of Jesus Christ by prayer of faith and proven with definite evidence of healing based on medical data.
Focusing on divine healing, WCDN has conducted international medical conferences where various interesting diseases and medical conditions that were healed through prayer of faith and with definite medical evidences are presented to medical practitioners as well as scientists. Issues relevant to Christian medical practice and to the divine calling are likewise discussed by speakers who are experts in various specialties.
The full text of the interview that Dr. Yoon-Soek Chae gave special Christian Telegraph correspondent is below:
How does the system of testimonies collecting work?
First of all we can check if a church member has a medical data or not. If this person has a medical data we carry him or her to the hospital to check out his or her condition and the nature of disease after prayer by Dr. Jaerock Lee. If we find the difference after prayer we correct the data and present the healing case on the annual medical conference.
Does WCDN study only healings that happen only in Manmin church?
No, any healing case that was made by the powerful God in the whole world. We gather the divine healing cases. We do not restrict with only our churches. However it is very difficult to find divine healing cases all over the world. For example in Russia MRI scan is not available, it’s not popular at all. Philippines, India - it’s all the same level. They are telling me that they had divine healing cases but their medical data is very poor.
What if a doctor from another country wants to join?
Because we have limitation of finance, every annual meeting time we invite him to introduce him to WCDN ministry and if they have interest in this ministry, they form a small group and Medical Doctors Network in their country. They also can hold a conference in their country.
What is the usual reaction of secular doctors on proven miracles?
Some non-Christian doctors sometimes are surprised because they learned the medical facts in the university. For example there was a case when a person was healed from appendicitis after just a prayer to God, without using any medicine. It is very surprising to doctors. This case was reported - without using medicine or operation appendicitis was healed. But some non-believers argue – if you met a person with the problem of appendicitis in your clinic how would handle him? Would you say to this patient: take an operation or take a prayer? So it is very difficult. It is important if the patient has the faith of God. Our God is almighty. He is the healer. So if the patient has faith that God is healer in that case if I meet such patient I am free, I recommend such patient to have such kind of prayer. But if the patient doesn’t have any faith it is not wise to recommend prayer. In that case we recommend to take an operation or medicine. Faith is very important factor to handle the patient.
Do you have any statistics on how many doctors receive Jesus because of WCDN?
We had seven conferences of WCDN. The purpose of WCDN is to prove God is alive by and with what we call data. The second purpose is to make a kind of society for Christian doctors to do right things in their traditions. You would never imagine what happened in India. India is one of the countries where it is prohibited to proclaim the Gospel in public. But doctors opened a free medical camp in poor region and many people were coming to get a treatment from them. There also was another tent where they were told that God is a Healer. This is very unique. And only doctors can do that. Through publicity and conference we increase doctors to that kind of things in their society and in their countries. This is also one of the purposes. Actually most of attendants are Christians, not unbelievers and we cannot say how many doctors can be saved because of WCDN conference because most of them are already Christians. But they can make some kind of union or association together because they need each other. Or we can do something like a seminar, we can collect divine healing cases or have a free camp, or we can go to a poor country and donate a lot of medical things. Like it was in Indonesia in 2007. So these kind of things are the purpose of WCDN. And as for your question on how many doctors can be saved because of the WCDN conference – we don’t know about that. But doctors know doctors. They know how to approach doctors.
Have you ever seen a doctor who was an unbeliever and said, “Yes, I have seen it and I believe it was a miracle”?
Because most of the doctors are very proud of themselves it is not easy for them to acknowledge that it was a miracle. But if one time the testimony of a divine healing didn’t affect a doctor’s life, we continue to contact him or her. It is important. One short exposure of a divine healing case might change their mind or might not. But it is just a beginning. So we gather Christian doctors and we communicate with them. It is important that we make a home and organization to make them move in a new direction. There are many medical mission teams working around the world, they make medical treatment, they deliver medicine... But there are few like WCDN with the power of God.
