Trainees from Ten Countries Are Attending MMTC's Global Missionary Training Program
In the opening service of the MMTC Global Missionary Training Program, Pastor Deborah Rhee, the President of Manmin Missionary Training Center (MMTC) addressed trainees saying, "The holiness gospel leads us to the level of spirit by making us get rid of the root of sins deep in our hearts and change ourselves by its messages. I hope you will become spiritual warriors who awaken souls, your families, your people, and your country through the holiness gospel and finally lead them to New Jerusalem."
Then, while looking at each other's faces, more than 40 trainees coming from the ten countries including the U.S., Israel, Russia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Indonesia together shouted out "Manmin".
Manmin Central Church has been actively involved in its pioneering work to accomplish the vision for the worldwide evangelistic mission. To meet this mission the church established MMTC to train and dispatch missionaries throughout the world. The Global Program was organized and established as a result of ever increasing requests from overseas branch church pastors and church workers to provide knowledge and skills for foreign trainees who desired to arm themselves with the spiritual messages delivered by Dr. Jaerock Lee and learn the church's administrative system and ministerial methods.
This program is especially significant at this point as the church pushes forward with over 10,000 branch and associative churches to establish the world-wide parish. The trainees will be staying in the missionary lodging facility through February 27th. They usually attend lectures daily from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. (until 10 P.M. on Mondays) and on Saturdays from 3 P.M. to 10 P.M. They have to manage a series of tight schedules to attend the various worship services and daily Daniel Prayer Meeting.
Twenty speakers, including Pastor Soojin Lee, President of Pastors' Association, have been giving lectures on The Message of the Cross, 1 Corinthians, Leviticus, Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Mission, Sanctification and Power, Keys to Church Revival, The Seven Churches, Service, Consultation Methods, Missionary Leadership, International Etiquette, Financial Management, and Administrative Systems. They also pray in fullness of the Holy Spirit Prayer Meeting.
Additionally, they write down and summarize the fundamental sermons that are the essence of the holiness gospel, practice preaching the messages, read the Bible, and take a Bible verse test. They also visit several church departments including GCN TV. They visit some points of interest to tourists to gain better understanding of Korean culture. On Feb. 23, they will have a workshop at the Muan Sweet Water Site.
Pastor Henri Paul Noubicier from Spain (Alfori Manmin Church in Barcelona) is quoted as saying before the program, "My church workers and I have prepared for this program with prayer. We are excited about what we will learn through the program. I want to learn many things about the ministry of Dr. Lee, a true man of God. I also hope that I will spiritually grow even more through this chance."
Sister Nadine Miyamba (International Manmin Church in New York) said, "I realized many things by reading the books authored by Dr. Lee. I was deeply touched by his 2006 New York Crusade. After watching the TV sermons delivered by Dr. Lee, I have been longing for the opportunity to come to Manmin Central Church in Korea. I am looking forward to all programs."
MMTC's Global Missionary Training Program is being held in Newcomer's Reception Room and all lectures are translated into English and Chinese.
MIS Courses Were Opened in the Republic of Cyprus
On Jan. 27, the courses of Manmin International Seminary were opened in Nicosia, the capital city of the Republic of Cyprus with Pastor Vered Chen Rozen (Livingstone Church in Tel Aviv, Israel).
She gives the lectures in English for a week on a monthly basis with the MIS text book The Message of the Cross. The lectures are translated simultaneously into Russian and Bulgarian language. The students study the text book by themselves or study with the speaker via email and videophone during the periods when there are no lectures. Pastor Rozen said, "The students gave thanks with tears saying the messages are given by God. They appeared to be deeply moved by the spiritual meanings embedded in the cross."
