"We'll achieve whole spirit that pleases God!" - 2013 Leadership Conference with about 5,500 attendees
The 2013 Leadership Conference was held to nurture spiritual warriors who will lead countless souls to the way of salvation at this end time and it successfully came to an end with Manmin members' enthusiastic participation. They gained spiritual confidence and made up their minds to achieve the heart of spirit and whole spirit quickly.
Manmin Central Church held its 2013 Leadership Conference from July 1st to 3rd in Vivaldi Park of Daemyung Resort in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province. With Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee as the main speaker, it was successfully conducted under the theme of "Whole Spirit" (Hebrews 10:22). This 2013 Conference was hosted by Men's and Women's Consolidated Missions. Many pastors, parish leaders, and laymen members as well as small group leaders attended and shared grace. Mrs. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center was the first speaker of the conference on the first day and the attendees offered up an 'Arrival Service' with her. She said without prayer they could not achieve the heart of whole spirit. She went on to say that they should believe that they can make it since God holds them. She urged them to come forth as the fruit of whole spirit, that is, as the beautiful brides of Jesus Christ by praying fervently with such belief. The conference started in earnest with Dr. Jaerock Lee's seminar held beginning at 7 P.M. with the members who filled nine small auditoriums as well as the main auditorium. Dr. Lee said, "The ultimate goal of our faith is to achieve the heart of whole spirit. The first evidence of whole spirit is to become one with God the Father and the second is to accomplish His goodness. It is important for us to discern what is good in the sight of God every moment and achieve one heart with God." On the second day, Pastor Heejin Lee's seminar began at 9:30 A.M. Before she preached, all participants offered up the Spirit-filled praise to God together and confessed their burning love and thanks to Him. Her message followed and it caused attendees to check things that they had not discovered since they remained too deep in their hearts. They also realized God's profound and beautiful love for them. From 6:30 P.M. that evening, Dr. Lee's second seminar commenced. Continuing from the earlier lecture, he preached about the third evidence of whole spirit, which is, "Faithfulness". He stressed that for believers to come into whole spirit they need to be unchangingly faithful by doing more than what they can do and work faithfully according to the will and heart of God. Then, he used some church members as examples and explained about what they have to fill up or fulfill to enter spirit and whole spirit. On the third and last day of the conference, the attendees had fun in the water in Ocean World which is the water park in the resort and had a happy time in the love they shared. Showing their spiritual longing, this conference was attended by approximately 5,500 people including branch church members from Korea and church members from 17 countries such as U.S., Russia, Kenya, Israel, Kazakhstan, Belgium, and Singapore. When we cast off all evil in our hearts in the grace and strength of God and the help of the Spirit, we can achieve the heart of spirit. In addition, by filling our hearts with goodness, love, and the truth, we can accomplish the heart of whole spirit that looks after the heart of God the Father (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Many Manmin members have come forth as men of spirit and whole spirit through the 2011 and 2012 Leadership Conferences held under the titles of "The Measure of Faith" and "Spirit" respectively. The 2013 Conference will be continued during the Manmin Summer Retreat in August 2013, so it is expected that more members will achieve the heart of spirit and whole spirit then.
