Manmin Central Church celebrated the 34th anniversary of its opening. On July 25, 1982, thirteen people, including 4 children, offered up its opening service, and since then the church has endeavored to lead all people of all nations to salvation just as its name Manmin means all people of all nations (Photo 1).

The church greatly revived and the number of registered members reached three thousand within four years. The motive power was in Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's word of life and signs, wonders, and powerful works manifested through fervent prayer.

After having suffered from many diseases for seven years, he met the living God and he was called as a pastor. He focused only on the Word and prayer. Because he satisfied the justice through countless periods of fasting and prayer, the church was able to experience great works of revival even from the opening just like the Early Church experienced.

In July 1991, Manmin church organized a new denomination, the United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ, Korea, and started to strive for national evangelism. Dr. Lee worked as Co-chairman of '92 the Holy Spirit World Explosion Crusade' and acted as the manager of arranging committee of '95 Jubilee Crusade at the 50th Anniversary of Korea's Independence (Photos 2, 6, 9). In the meantime, the church laid a foundation in the world mission. During several trials that came to the church, they passed all in goodness, and many of the members came forth as 'wheat-like' believers. God's blessings were added all the more and the church became known to the whole world.

In 2000, starting with the second stage of take-off, the church began conducting many overseas crusades. Beginning with the Uganda Holy Gospel Crusade reported by CNN (Photo 8), Manmin held crusades in Japan, Pakistan, Kenya, the Philippines, Honduras, India, Russia, Germany, Peru, DR Congo, USA, Israel, and Estonia. In the crusades Dr. Lee preached about God the Creator and Jesus Christ. He also manifested the explosive power of God (Photos 3, 4, 5, 7).

In late 2010 the rapid spiritual flow began in the providence of God for the end time. On the flow of spirit and in Dr. Lee's sacrificial love, the church members started in earnest to put more effort into achieving a sincere heart in full assurance (Hebrews 10:22). It was the beginning of the third stage of take-off.

Manmin has grown up to be a global mega church in 34 years under the grace of God. Now it has approximately 10,000 branch and associate churches (Photo 6), and has greatly accomplished the world mission through GCN (www.gcntv.org) that covers around 170 countries, Dr. Lee's books translated in 61 languages, Manmin International Seminary, and World Christian Doctors Network (Photos 10, 11, 12, 13).

Through the handkerchief of power (Acts 19:11-12), Muan Sweet Water (Exodus 15:25), and the prayer for the sick recorded on Automated Response System, countless people throughout the world have received healing, answers, and blessings. Through all these, God's providence for all people of all nations at this sin-filled end time will be achieved all the more greatly.

At 3 P.M. on Sunday July 24, the 34th Anniversary Service of the Church Opening and Celebration Performance were held. Pastor Dongcho Shin preached the message entitled "God-pleasing Church" based on Isaiah 60:1-3.
