"I love You, Lord!" 2013 Manmin Summer Bible School was successfully conducted with a content that was varied and helpful. The key to becoming a man of whole spirit was learned in the Opening Service. The meaning of spiritual love was examined in 'The Message and Prayer' time. God-given talents were fully demonstrated in the Talent Show. Praises with the heart were offered up in 'Power Jesus'. The message on Heaven and Hell planted hope for Heaven. Each grade group's programs also helped a lot. In 2013 Summer Bible School, Manmin's children became full of hope for New Jerusalem, the best dwelling place in Heaven, and the love of the Lord.
With the start of summer vacation, Children's Sunday school (Headmaster Pastor Seongsik Jang) had its Summer Bible School which is like a heavenly playground for children. The Bible School proceeded with the title of "Whole Spirit" from July 28th to 31st in 2013. The children gathered from 16 branch churches as well as children in Seoul. There were even children from overseas countries so the programs were interpreted simultaneously in English, Chinese, and Japanese. GCN TV (www.gcntv.org) broadcast the events live.
The Opening Service was offered up with Pastor Dongcho Shin. He preached the message entitled "Whole Spirit" based on Hebrews 10:22. He urged children to 'clean their hearts with the Word of God and fill their hearts with what God takes delight in such as goodness, love, forgiveness, and faith'.
The Message and Prayer with Pastor Soojin Lee opened the second day of the Bible School. The children in attendance prepared themselves praising in fullness of the Spirit with a teacher from the Children's Performing Arts Team. Pastor Soojin Lee delivered the message entitled "The Heart of Spirit" taken from 1 Corinthians 13:13. She encouraged them to achieve the heart of the Lord with an explanation of the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians, which is dubbed 'The Love Chapter'. They engraved the message in their hearts during praise and prayer time that followed the message.
The 6th Manmin Children's Talent Show was held with Brother Eunchan Kil and Minwu Yoo as MCs on the morning of the third day. Ten teams passed the preliminary and moved up to the final. They showed their talents in fullness by singing solo or as an ensemble; presenting Korean traditional dance, modern dance, or power-dance; giving a speech in English; playing musical instruments; or performing a play.
The Grand Prize was awarded to Space Team from Daejeon Manmin Church. They demonstrated Taekwondo dance under the theme of "Walk of Faith". The Golden Prize went to Joy of the Shepherd Team from Masan Manmin Church, the Silver Prize to Twinkle Dance Team from Daejeon Manmin Church, the Bronze Prize to Serem Brass Ensemble from the central church, and Popularity Prize to the Fruit of the Shepherd Team from the central church.
Pastor Heesun Lee's Power Jesus was held in the afternoon on the same day. Pastor Lee stated, "We can take hold of New Jerusalem, which is the greatest dwelling place in Heaven, only when we achieve the heart of Light and act in it." She prayed for children and led praise time in fullness of the Spirit. Dancing and praising with Pastor Lee, the children offered up thanks, love, and hope for Heaven to the Lord.
Pastor Crystal S. Kim preached under the title of 'Heaven and Hell' on the fourth morning. She emphasized that the spiritual world surely exists. She also implored them to cast away evil attributes that hurt others and encouraged them to accomplish the heart of goodness and take hold of a better dwelling place in Heaven.
Furthermore, the groups of each grade level had a variety of their own programs including a Fullness of the Spirit Prayer Meeting, puppet shows, a story-telling contest, a Bible quiz contest, a cooking contest, a project 'Adorning Mansions in New Jerusalem', sharing testimonies with others, the pilgrim's progress, and Golden Bell. Then, after lunch, children studied the Bible with their teachers.
