Manmin Central Church was founded 30 years ago and it has grown to be a mega-sized church that leads countless souls to the way of salvation with the word of life and manifestations of signs and wonders. On October 7, 2012, our church made a new beginning celebrating the 30th anniversary. The celebration performance featured a fabulous grand stage, wire-flying action, and laser beams adding to emotion. It was broadcast live via GCN TV and Internet.

On October 7, 2012, Manmin Central Church celebrated its 30th anniversary together with around 10,000 branch and associative churches.

During Sunday Morning Service Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee preached the message "The Church that God Loves: Heaven" based on Isaiah 60:1-3. He said that God has shown Heaven to the church. That is to say, for the last 30 years, through the word of life, the power of God, and high-quality cultural arts performances that express the heavenly beauty of the spiritual world, God has demonstrated His great love.

Then during the 30th Anniversary Service, he delivered the message under the title of "The Church that God Loves: Earth" taken from Isaiah 60:1-3. He stated that the reason why God has shown things that happen in Heaven to us who live on the earth is to transform us into men of spirit who resemble Him through trials and the process of sanctification.

During the service, Dr. Frank Wright, President of National Religious Broadcasters gave a congratulatory message. He said, "Today many churches are afraid of and are hesitant about preaching Jesus Christ's gospel. But, Manmin Central Church is an amazingly special church that boldly proclaims His name to the whole world through the power of God."

Pastor Jongman Lee, President of Christian World Revival Mission Association pronounced the benediction at the end of the service. Then, the 30th Anniversary Celebration Performance ensued under the theme of "Heaven and Earth." The church's Performing Arts Committee expressed the love of God who has guided the church to this 30th anniversary. With God-given songs, the performance represented the heavenly hosts and angels and the aroma-of-heart of earthly people who underwent the sanctification process of cultivation. More than 500 people including the staff participated in delivering the performance that ran for about 60 minutes. (Related photos on page 4)

Dr. Kiril Svilenov from Bulgaria said, "I was deeply moved by the extraordinary performance. I am sure that it was performed in the presence of God." Pastor Tsia Fang Liu stated, "I felt the heavenly beauty and a strong longing for Heaven came to me. Such a gorgeous performance that plants hope for Heaven in people should be widely spread throughout the world."

Manmin members sensed the pure, beautiful fragrance of Heaven and made a resolution to quickly become sanctified in order to live with God the Trinity in New Jerusalem forever.

The Sunday Anniversary Services were attended by many guests including Christian reporters from both in and out of Korea, honored guests who are from various political and religious fields, and the members of the World Christian Doctors Network who attended previous conferences. Some of them came all the way from the U.S., China, Kenya, India, Germany, and Peru. A variety of different food choices were offered in the church's front courtyard and an outdoor photo studio was built for the members and guests, which added to their joy.

During Friday All-night Service on October 5, 2012, a special Manmin Magazine, the church's weekly video news presentation, was shown under the title of The Walk of Faith. It showed Manmin's 30-year history that made rapid growth only by God's guidance. During the second half of the service, the Performing Arts Committee delivered the special performance entitled "Glory to God." Before the service, Children's Marching Band also gave special performance on the special outdoor stage adorned like a heavenly flowerbed.

Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee said, "Since the 30th Anniversary of Opening in July 2012, we have had time to prepare our vessels for blessings and the blessings will come upon our church and church members in full measure from this 30th anniversary on." A member's testimony who received a great blessing substantiated the reality of his message.
