On July 25th in 1982, Manmin Central Church offered up its opening service with 13 believers including a few children in a sanctuary of approximately 40 square yards or 360 square feet (Photo 1). Now the church has grown to become a mega-sized church that has more than 10,000 branch and associative churches world-wide. The motive power stems from Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's life-filled messages that he has received by offering up a myriad of prayers and periods of fasting, and the signs, wonders, and God's powerful works that attest to the authenticity of the Bible.
Since its opening, just as the Early Church experienced, the church has experienced astounding signs and wonders such as downpours stopping, typhoons and hurricanes changing their courses, the dead being revived, and the blind coming to see through Dr. Lee's prayer (See page 4).
In 1993 Manmin Church was selected and named one of the World's Top 50 Churches by the Christian World, US magazine. Until 2004, Dr. Lee held two-week-consecutive Special Revival Meetings every May. God's works of healing and resolution of answers overflowed in the meetings.
There was an amazing work that took place in March 2000. The salty sea water from a well at Muan Manmin Church in Muan Gun, Jeonnam Province was changed into sweet drinkable water through Dr. Lee's prayer. Many of those who drank the Muan Sweet Water and applied it with faith have been healed of their diseases and enjoyed blessings at home, in the workplace and in business (See page 3).
Breathtaking works of the Holy Spirit unfolded in the church's overseas crusades that were conducted in many countries including Pakistan, Kenya, India, Russia, the U.S., and Israel. The works caused many kinds of diseases such as cancer and AIDS to be healed. Many of the blind could see, the mute spoke, and the deaf were able to hear. Non-Christians converted to Christianity. Striking healing works have taken place and answers have been brought down from above through the handkerchief on which Dr. Lee had prayed (Acts 19:11-12).
Such powerful works have established the authenticity of the Bible both nationwide and worldwide. The works have become widely recognized all over the world via GCN TV (www.gcntv.org) that covers more than 170 countries, Dr. Lee's books that have been published in 57 languages, and WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network) that medically demonstrates the validity of divine healing works, which awaken innumerable souls in the world.
The church members have prayed without ceasing for the last 31 years, and now they have come forth as spiritual fruit by riding on the rapid spiritual flow. They are going to complete God's providence for the end time by building the Canaan Sanctuary and Grand Sanctuary.
