Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Central Church, has emphasized that the core of Christian life is to love God and to resemble the heart of the Lord. In that way we can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and reach sanctification as we become armed with the word of God. Since 2000 he has encouraged us to read one bible chapter a day and to memorize one bible verse a day. The Men’s Mission began holding the Bible Quiz Contest annually nineteen years ago to help church members arm themselves with the word of God.
