The 1st Stage of Take-off (1982-1999) ►►►
"Manmin laid foundation for both domestic and international evangelism and achieved spiritual growth!"
Manmin Central Church started with 13 members including 4 children on July 25 in 1982 obeying God who said, "Open the church when the sun is scorching hot". On October 10, the same year, the church had its Founding Service with more than 100 members. Within less than five years, the number topped 3,000.
This surprising revival was driven by God's power. People experienced God through His powerful works, and they became church members and then church workers. Meantime, God gave the church two goals: evangelizing the world and constructing Grand Sanctuary.
At this time there was a trial due to jealousy from other churches but it rather signaled a blessing because the church was blessed to establish a new denomination by overcoming the trial only in goodness.
Dr. Jaerock Lee was invited to many Christian and political events in Korea and he worked as Co-chairman of 1992 Holy Spirit World Explosion Crusade. He was also the Administrative Chairman of 1995 Jubilee Crusade marking the 50th Anniversary of Korea's Independence. In 1993 the church was named one of the World's Top 50 Churches by the Christian World, US magazine (reported by The Chosun Ilbo). Dr. Lee was also invited to lead crusades and seminars for pastors in Los Angeles., Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Hawaii in U.S., and many countries in Southern America, and Africa.
Manmin moved into the fifth church in 1996, and through two-week Revival Meeting many people were healed and registered, which caused great revival. But what God wanted is for church members to become wheat-like believers.
So God allowed the church to undergo big three trials in order to separate chaff from wheat in 1998 and 1999. The church passed the trials with prayer and fasting in goodness and love. As a blessing for passing them, the powerful works transcending human imagination began exploding.
The 2nd Stage of Take-off (2000-2009) ►►►
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ was proclaimed in Israel which is the remotest part of the earth!"
In March, 2000, a work of creation took place: salty seawater in a well on the island of Muan in Jeonnam Province was changed into sweet drinkable water (Exodus 15:25). In addition, the new era of the world mission dawned in Manmin. The church started to take the holiness gospel and the powerful works to the whole world in full swing.
Beginning with the Uganda Holy Gospel Crusade, Manmin conducted crusades in Japan, Pakistan, Kenya, the Philippines, Honduras, India, Russia, Germany, Peru, DR Congo, and the U.S. They attracted a great number of people; tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people. There, God the Creator and Jesus the Savior were preached, countless diseases were healed by the power of the Holy Spirit, demons were cast out, the dead were revived, and non-Christians became Christians.
In July 2007, the work of the Holy Spirit reached the most remote part of the earth, Israel. Dr. Lee proclaimed Jesus is the Savior and confirmed the message with the power of the Spirit over the whole Israel from Galilee, the Northern part to Eilat, the southernmost part. In 2009, he even led Israel United Crusade in the International Convention Center, Jerusalem. The crusade was reported by many world leading media such as Associated Press and Reuters, and broadcast via 33 TV stations to around 220 countries. It fulfilled the biblical prophecies that the gospel would return to Israel, preaching about Jesus Christ to even orthodox Jews as well as Messianic Jews.
In 2000s, the door to the broadcasting ministry was open wide as well. In May 2004, GCN was established with Manmin TV at the center, and the very first program premiered on Channel 17 of the New York public TV. Besides, WCDN and MIS were organized, which displayed the outline of the world mission.
The 3rd Stage of Take-off (2010-Present) ►►►
"Love compensates for justice, which allows for the rapid spiritual flow!"
In 2010, Estonia Miracle Healing Crusade was conducted, which awakened Europe in the midst of spiritual stagnation and gave Manmin an opportunity to witness the influence of antichrist and think over the God's providence for the end time. Additionally the members were blessed to ride on the rapid spiritual flow which would enable them to come out as dwellers in New Jerusalem.
Senior Pastor Dr. Lee held Mini Divine Healing Meetings where the members were urged to repent. On December 25, 2010 he offered up prayer of his fervent love for the members who hadn't obeyed the Word of God, thereby he helped them turn away from sins and become God's true children. Since 2011, he has led them to become people of spirit and whole spirit by helping them check their faith in Leadership Conferences.
In 2013, the 3-month grace period was given to pastors and Levite workers so that they could repent of their past wrongdoings and ride on the rapid spiritual flow. On Easter Sunday, they were able to destroy, through the shepherd's intercession, their tall walls of sins which were unforgivable in justice. This is the power of prayer of a righteous man which was shown in the case of Lot where he was saved through Abraham's prayer.
Manmin Summer Retreat 2014
In 2014, by the works of the Spirit, the works of re-creation that change the original heart of people took place. Through these works the members' faith sharply increased. So many members stood on the rock of faith and hundreds of people came into spirit. It is in this way that the church has accomplished the standardization of spirit.
The shepherd's intercession of love and tears never ceases. He hopes to lead all people of all nations to the way of salvation and his original voice is given out through his sacrifice and love. By the voice, the finance for the construction of Canaan Sanctuary and Grand Sanctuary will come and the members will unceasingly experience the power of the Spirit to renew their hearts as well as receive healing, answers, and blessings.
