At the 2011 Opening Ceremony held on January 3, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee said explosive works of the Holy Spirit would take place greatly and continually and urged all the pastors and Levite fulltime workers to be determined to cooperate with one another more closely and enlarge the kingdom of God more powerfully.
In the beginning of the New Year 2011, the Opening Ceremony was held on January 3rd. All pastors, Levite fulltime workers, and all the pastors from all domestic branch churches came together, were given the goals that they have to fulfill this year and started their ministry with great expectation. At this opening ceremony, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee read the Scripture Isaiah 60:1-3 and said, "This verse was given our church by God when the church was founded. This year we will fulfill this Word and arise and shine." At the New Year's Day Service offered on January 1, 2011, Dr. Jaerock Lee delivered the message with the title "The Churches that Arises and Shines". In his message he said, "There will be explosive works of the Holy Spirit that will continually take place this year through which we will be able to actively participate in national evangelization and accomplish world mission more powerfully." Since the church was founded, we have been fulfilling God's providence for the end time of the world according to the will and guidance of God. God has manifested so many powerful works and those works have allowed for church members to accomplish true faith and sincere love through a sequence of trials. Last year the whole congregation of the church elevated the level of their faith and came to harbor fervent hope for New Jerusalem through unfailing love of God. This change and revival has caused all pastors, Levite workers and all believers of the church to become united and lay the spiritual foundation for the construction of the Canaan Sanctuary, the sanctuary that will have the beauty of God the Father. Dr. Lee urged all participants to first become united to be able to accomplish everything in unity saying, "It's never difficult to become united. You can become one only if each and every one of you loves God with all your heart and soul. Each of you must press on toward the goal of entering New Jerusalem and have the same heart as the shepherd's heart. Now you have to change your minds to accomplish the will of God. You have to become one in unity for the glory of God and actively fulfill the Great Commission of the Lord with the holiness gospel." And he placed an emphasis on prayer, saying, "You have to pray without ceasing. You can never become a man of spirit without praying." Next, he asked them to become united with one another in love and trust and share true love with one another like the early churches. Lastly he encouraged them saying, "This church has been in the providence of God and He watches after each of you with His blazing eyes and loves you." After his message all the participants renewed their hearts and shook hands with him. After the 2011 Opening Ceremony, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee had lunch at the church restaurant along with pastors and Levite fulltime workers. In addition, on Monday January 3, the 20th term and the 20th session of the Daniel Prayer Meeting began with the title "Spiritual Restoration Campaign: Let's Enter New Jerusalem!" The believers of Manmin Central Church received the New Year with the fervent prayer and the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
