Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee awakened church leaders and participants at the Festival with such messages filled with life as, "Why Is Jesus our only Savior?" "God the Creator," and "The Power of the Holy Spirit," and whenever the messages were proclaimed, the audience responded with shouts of joy and applause.

Like at all of his crusades, after proclaiming the messages, Dr. Lee prayed for the sick who attended the meetings. There was no end in sight of people wishing to testify to having their eyes opened, having come to speak, having stood up from their wheelchairs, and having thrown out their crutches. And doctors and nurses from 6 countries checked out whether the healing had taken place from a medical perspective and the testimonies from the three-day Festival were received by them.

VIPs who sat on stage, included Dr. David Waisman, vice president of Peru; Dr. Frank Wright, president of NRB and a former high official from Dubai.

The crusade was broadcast live to many countries through GCN, a local New York TV station, as well as around the world via satellite channels including RTNC, La familia, Cosmovision, Almavision, RBN etc and interpreted in English, Spanish, and Russian.
