Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee (Photo 1) gave all thanks and glory to God who blessed Manmin with its approximately 11,000 branch and associate churches and guests from Korea and other countries (Photos 6, 7, and 8). People had great joy and happiness through the celebration performances that God-given praises, instrumental performance, and dance expressed the beauty of Heaven (Photos 2, 3, and 4) and outdoor events (Photos 5, 9, and 10).


On October 9, 2016, Manmin Central Church had its 34th anniversary service and celebration performances. They were broadcast live on GCN that covers around 170 countries and on the Internet. Many people attended from 20 countries such as the U.S., Russia, Israel, Egypt, India, France, Australia, Colombia, and Kenya. Simultaneous interpretation was offered for attendees in nine languages including English, French, Spanish, and Russian.

Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee delivered messages in the Friday All-night Service, Sunday Morning Service, and Sunday Evening Service under the title of "Glory" based on Haggai 2:9. Through the messages, he reminisced on the history of Manmin that has been carrying out national evangelism and the world mission for the last 34 years and he gave thanks and glory to God who has been with the church through manifestation of miracles, signs, and wonders.

The church's Performing Arts Committee rendered their celebration performance under the title "Glory" as well with God-given songs. The performance was subtitled "Glorious New Jerusalem" expressing the happiness and joy of those who enter New Jerusalem.

As the performers praised and danced, a special 260-degree mapping projection on the main screen, the walls, and ceiling was simultaneously coordinated with the live performance of Nissi Orchestra. It was so beautiful that the attendees were able to audibly and visually sense the amazing beauty of New Jerusalem that increased their hope for Heaven.

Pastor Deborah Derilah Juma from DR Congo said, "Manmin Central Church shows the love of God. I became filled with the Holy Spirit and felt like we were in Heaven."

Sister Cynthia McMillan from Australia stated, "I suffered from insomnia, but after I shook hands with Dr. Jaerock Lee I was healed and have slept well since then."

Dr. Nikolai Iunchis said, "I was moved by the church members' service and love, and the high-quality performances. They were so expressive in power and filled with spiritual inspiration."

In the church yard was a special photo stage with the images of colorful flowers, a flower carriage, a flower swing, and heavenly stairs of New Jerusalem. Men's, Women's, Canaan, and Young Adults' Mission members prepared food for the members. The invitees, members' families and relatives together had a great time.

During the second half of the Friday All-night Service, on October 7, the church had its Anniversary Eve Celebration Performance entitled "Glory" with the subtitle of "Wedding Banquet in the Air". The audience could feel the glory that they would have as the Lord's brides when they meet the Lord their Bridegroom in the air.
