On October 12, 2014 Manmin Central Church had its 32nd Anniversary Service and Celebration Performance. Around 200 people from 17 countries including the U.S., Israel, Russia, Kenya, Peru, and China were present and simultaneous interpretation services were provided in nine languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, Spanish, Mongolian, Vietnamese, and Indonesian.

At the Anniversary Service, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee preached a message entitled "Invitation" taken from 1 John 4:16. He said God sent the invitation which contained His desire to be with the dear ones forever and emphasized that God wants all people of all nations to be able to accept the invitation by being renewed with hope for Heaven and becoming sanctified.

He showed attendees in the service the appreciation plaque that he had received from Dr. Andre Gasiorowski, Chairman of Helping Hand Coalition and Pastor Daniel Rozen, President of Crystal Forum (Israeli Pastors' Association). They visited Manmin to celebrate the church's 32nd anniversary and gave Senior Pastor Dr. Lee the plaque with a grateful heart for his love and constant support for Israel.

Then the Celebration Performance "Invitation" presented by the Performing Arts Committee (Chairperson Rev. Heejin Lee) was rendered on a stage specially designed to resemble the 'Crystal Clear Lake' Banquet Hall in New Jerusalem. Approximately 400 performers including Nissi Orchestra and the United Choir plus 150 staff members committed themselves to the performance.

With Rev. Soojin Lee and Pastor Dongcho Shin as emcees, the performance expressed God's love contained in the invitation to His banquet sent to the shepherd and believers. God had given eight new Manmin songs by which the beauty of Heaven was expressed with props and dance.

The invitation card was written in the alphabet of the language used in Heaven where we will live. It revealed the angels welcoming the invited believers and the believers offering up praise and dance with thankful hearts.

After the performance Dr. Lee gave all thanks and glory to God and the Lord first and then said, "I can't live without God and the Lord. I urge you to love God foremost of all. Then God will love you and you will receive whatever you pray for. You will feel peace, joy, and inexpressible jubilation."

The members and guests enjoyed various foods prepared by Men's, Women's, Canaan, and Young Adults' Missions. They also took photos on outdoor stages made by members of the Design and Sharon Fellowships.

Two days before the anniversary, on October 10th during Friday All-night Service, Dr. Lee preached the message under the title of "The Castle of the Shepherd" derived from Revelation 21:2, and Dr. Mikhail Morgulis, of the U.S. and President of 'Spiritual Diplomacy' gave a congratulatory message.

He said, "Dr. Lee is the most valuable gift given to me in my entire life. The holiness gospel has renewed my life and that of many of my co-workers'. I was also surprised that what he had prophesied four years ago concerning the flow of the world situation all has been fulfilled."

In the second half, a 3D Video titled "The Castle of the shepherd" was presented that added to the joy and emotions of the attendees. God showed the beauty of the castle in celebrating the church's 32nd anniversary so that the members can achieve whole spirit with greater longing and become qualified to enter New Jerusalem.

On Monday, October 13th, foreign guests paid a visit to Muan Sweet Water Site, drank the water, and experienced the spiritual world. They submerged themselves in the Muan Sweet Water Pool with their hearts' desire and received blessings of healing and answers.
