When Lee Young-Pyo was growing up in Korea, he was heavily influenced by Buddhism. To him believing in God is like a fairy tale and for strange people. Until some of his friends told him about God.

He was struggling whether to believe God existed. He needed God to reveal Himself to him. Then one day God did revealed Himself to Lee exactly as he had requested. He became a Christian in the year 2001.

Lee said, "Since then, everything in my life changed, especially the way I think. Questions such as where I came from, where I’m going, what to do about my sins, and everything else I worried about as a high school student have been answered by God. One of the biggest fear anyone faces is the fear of death. That was certainly true for me. But now that I know where I’m going after I die, I am free not only of the fear of death but from death itself! In this way, God has dramatically changed all of my thoughts—my entire life!"
