"…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8
Israeli Churches Standing Firm
On July 25, 2007, Jaerock Lee started his ministry in Israel in Nazareth where Jesus grew up. He then visited Jerusalem and Eilat. After that visit, he visited Israel 6 more times to preach about the living God and Jesus Christ with signs and wonders following his preaching. The 7th visit to Israel was made in July 2008. On July 26, Rev. Lee led a meeting under the title "Why Is Jesus Our Only Savior?" in Haifa in the morning. In the afternoon, he led another meeting in Tel Aviv under the title "Providence in Planting the Tree of Knowledge". The powerful works of God followed the spiritual message, and as the visitations continued, Israeli pastors were reaffirmed in faith, and their churches stood firm on the rock. In the 8th visit in Oct. 2008, a united meeting was held by 3 churches together in Nahariya, the northernmost part of Israel. Also, the sanctuary inauguration service was held at Ashdod Manmin Church. Now, several Israeli pastors agreed to set up an independent organization for church growth and union of the pastors. They named their organization the Crystal Forum. The Crystal Forum was established starting with 6 pastors who had great enthusiasm for ministry in Israel. Rev. Lee also met with orthodox Jew family.
3 Israeli Pastors' Seminars
God blessed us to visit Israel 3 times in 2009 before we had the Israel United Crusade in Jerusalem in September. It was right before the 27th anniversary of our church in Oct. 2009. Rev. Lee held a meeting in Hadera in his 9th visit to Israel in Feb. 2009. After that he had the 1st pastors' seminar in Ashdod Manmin Church with 120 pastors in attendance. The title was "To Receive Power". Rev. Lee made his 10th visit in April. He had the 2nd pastors' seminar in Nazareth Living Spirit Church with the title "Measure of Faith". A famous gospel singer Dmitri Petrovski's wife Katerina received Rev. Lee's prayer to be healed of her malignant lymphoma. Her condition got better very quickly, and soon her doctors declared she was completely healed. Glory to God! Rev. Lee had his 11th visit to Israel in June. He led a celebration meeting in King of Glory Church for moving into a new sanctuary in Jerusalem. After that he led the 3rd pastors' seminar in Inbal Hotel. He explained about the difficult passages of the Bible and spiritual realm. Many attendants' spiritual eyes were opened.
Formation of Crystal Forum and Meetings with High Officials
One of the most thankful things in the 11 visits to Israel was that the Israeli pastors voluntarily organized Crystal Forum and they had the opening ceremony of its office in Jerusalem. Rev. Lee was very impressed by the plan of Israeli pastors; they wanted to hold the United Crusade, Praise Festivals, Couples Seminar, and Youth Camp through the Crystal Forum. He promised to provide regular support for them. The Israeli pastors did actually gain much strength and continued their active ministry through Crystal Forum. In his 11th visit to Israel, Rev. Lee met with high officials in multiple occasions. Hilik Barr received prayer for his promotion in his party, and he received the actual blessings. He became the vice mayor of Jerusalem city, then Secretary General of the Labor Party, a member of the Knesset, and then finally the vice chair of the Knesset. Rev. Jaerock Lee from July 2007 held 22 meetings, 3 pastors' seminars, and 10 pastors meetings. Finally, he was invited as the speaker for the Israel United Crusade held by Crystal Forum in Jerusalem in September 2009. He boldly preached about Jesus Christ. In October same year, he invited the leaders of the Crystal Forum to South Korea for the 27th anniversary of the church.
