Meet Our Founder
Our founder, Laura Wolf, shares her story and the journey that led to the creation of enLOVE Ministries.
Divine Appointment
The Call
Hi, welcome. My name is Laura.
Divine Revelation and Calling
In January 2023, I had a powerful encounter with God that awakened a deep and immediate desire to help women who had been hurt by broken systems, wounded by the brokenness of others, and who blamed God for their pain. He called me to show women the truth about His love, His plans, and His purposes for their lives so they could be healed from what the world has broken and reclaim what the enemy has stolen, be restored to Him.
Ask and Answered
I had no idea how God would use me to accomplish this mission. But a week later, I had another divine appointment and another type of divine call, which brought me the solution to my situation. Dr. Sun Fannin contacted me. Upon hearing about my encounter and understanding I needed direction and a way to help these women, she offered to mentor me through her ministry. She would teach and train me how to minister inner healing, how to pray and intercede, and how to teach others to do the same. During my phone call with her, it was the first time I had ever spoken to a Korean woman. Even though I was born in Daegu, South Korea, in 1976, I had nothing to do with Koreans my entire life up until this call. I had a grudge against anything Korean, especially Korean women because I was given up for adoption at just 4 days old. After being adopted to the US at 4 months old, the abandonment caused me to reject them and reject myself.
Come into Agreement
To move forward with training and prepare for the calling, all that hatred that was now stirred up, was being exposed, there was no way to ignore it after this call with Dr. Sun. Up until this point, I had hidden the pain because I avoided Korean people, and the Korean culture. Now, I would have to confront these painful feelings and to let down my guard, my self-defense system, so God could use Dr. Sun and her inner healing ministry to help me remove barriers that kept me from reconciling with my past and receiving emotional healing and spiritual freedom.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:32
My Story Meets My Calling
Healed to help others find freedom and wholeness.
The process of Inner Healing and Deliverance
To move forward with training and prepare for the call, I would have to set aside my pride. By answering God's call, I would have to go through my own process of healing. I had no idea what that would look like. I did not see the need for healing. I had been blind to my need for healing and deliverance. I thought I left the past behind me, but my pride prevented me from seeing how wounds from rejection had a stronghold over me, and clouded my vision. These blindspots influenced how I viewed life, my actions, and my attitude towards myself, others, and God. It was obvious the only thing standing in my way from taking this next step into the future, into freedom, would be my pride (my self-defense system).
Soul Healing and Spiritual Breakthrough
Dr. Sun had ministered to me through prayer for inner healing, deliverance, and counseling for several days. Going through this process, I experienced firsthand how to minister to those who need to hear the Lord speak directly and be healed and set free.
Breakthrough! Freedom!
Before her ministry, I had an orphan mindset; the initial abandonment at 4 days old grew into a belief system, a stronghold that I had for 46 years. I believed I was unwanted, unlovable, alone, and had to take care of myself because no one would. With the abuse and hardship I endured in my life, it reinforced this belief. This wall of defense prevented me from forgiving people who hurt me, abandoned me, and rejected me. I rejected the Korean people, the nation of Korea, a relationship with God as my heavenly Father, and struggled to receive love from anyone out of fear of rejection and abandonment. 46 years later, this stronghold was demolished, and destroyed, I was no longer an orphan, my identity now in Christ.
Before her ministry, my pride kept me entitled to my feelings of resentment, bitterness, anger, and my hatred, especially towards Koreans, justified. My beliefs blocked me from taking action to confront the painful memories and feelings of the past. So out of self-protection, I created new versions of myself that hid those fearful and vulnerable parts of my true self and my true feelings. 46 years later, I had accepted an apology from a Korean woman on behalf of all Korean moms and the nation of Korea for what I had experienced. In that moment, I no longer saw Koreans as my enemies, and believed the whole race was rejecting me, because of the rejection of one Korean woman. I also asked for forgiveness for my judgment and discrimination, and it was received.
Before her ministry, I had no desire to know more about my Korean heritage; I had rejected ALL OF IT. Even myself for being born Korean. But 47 years later, I traveled to Daegu, South Korea, my birth city, and visited the grounds of the White Lily Orphanage, where I was left at 4 days old. I spent 10 days with many Korean people, and was no longer ashamed of being adopted and visiting my homeland with my American family, and could enjoy the food, the sites, and the people.
Before her ministry, I had no ties to any Korean people, or Asian people, and now I have been blessed by spiritual brothers and sisters, and have ministered alongside them both here in the US, Japan, and in Korea.
Before her ministry, my fear of rejection and need to protect myself at all costs created a barrier to love, intimacy, and connection. I struggled with true intimacy and being vulnerable with those who loved me most. Now secure in my identity in Christ, I am emotionally healthy and available to my husband, children, and loved ones.
Before her ministry, I had issues with moms, trusting their love because my biological mom gave me up for adoption. I had treated my mom, my stepmom, and my mother-in-law unfairly for decades. Dr. Sun adopted me as her own Korean daughter, and God used her to show me I could trust the love of a mother and a Korean woman. I was able to ask forgiveness from my other moms and extend forgiveness towards my biological mom.
Before her ministry, I had confusion about God. After deliverance and seeing the truth and His plan for me, I no longer accused Him of forsaking me, not caring about me. I no longer believed He had been punishing me because of something I had done. I stopped blaming Him for my mom’s decision to reject me and put me up for adoption. I stopped blaming Him for the other hurts caused by my own sin, my own choices. At the White Lily orphanage, any unbelief about God’s goodness, faithfulness, and plans and purposes for me became alive and true in my life. His plan has always been to prosper me and give me hope and a future.
Living Life Abundantly
Praise God for Restoration.
After 47 years, I was able to overcome the painful memories of my past and see His truth in all of my circumstances. Thank you, Jesus! My relationship was restored between my Heavenly Father and me. Between my own family and me, between my Korean heritage, culture, and people, and a mother’s love.
Today, I am healed, free, forgiven, and totally secure in God’s love. I am a daughter to Him and also to many more. All of my striving has ceased. I know that I don’t have to earn love, acceptance, or forgiveness.
My perspective has changed; I let go of the need I had for revenge, to try to get even, and stopped cursing those who hurt me. I can see people, systems, and myself through God’s eyes. This restoration has brought me to a place where I can abide in Him and bear fruit (John 15:5).
Be encouraged!
I did not realize that my calling would become a testimony and that His truth would be revealed through my own healing. If I had not experienced the goodness of God and His faithfulness to keep His promise to heal, liberate, and recover, I would not be here with all of these testimonies that give Him all the Glory. Thank God that He uses people today to do His work of inner healing, deliverance, and restoration. Thank God His Promises are Yes and Amen!
