In 2016, Manmin did not stop, but continued to run in the rapid flow of whole spirit. Let's reminisce about the twelve historic events of this year.


1. The Fruit of Love and Sacrifice Borne in the Flow of Whole Spirit



From 2010, the God of love gave the rapid flow of spirit in the providence for the end time and guided the church members to throw away sins and achieve sanctification. In the flow, they tried hard to resemble the Lord by devoting themselves to the Word and prayer so that they could become the fruits of the shepherd's tears and sacrifice. As a result, the standardization of spirit was accomplished in 2014.

In 2016, in particular, which was the sixth year after the shepherd began to fulfill the justice on behalf of the members, rapid flow of whole spirit was made which enabled more people to stand on the rock of faith and enter spirit and whole spirit. Their fervent love for the Lord and thankful heart to God let them bear more beautiful fruits this year.


2. The Visitation of Bishops and Pastors Who Long for the Word and Power



This year many pastors and believers visited Manmin Central Church and Senior Pastor Dr. Lee after learning about Manmin's ministry through GCN, his books, handkerchief healing meetings, and pastors' seminars. They experienced answers, healing, church revival, and blessings after receiving Dr. Lee's prayer. In doing so, they came to long for the holiness gospel and visited the church.

In May, 2016, pastors from the Philippines came, and in August those from Russia and Pakistan participated in Manmin Summer Retreat and experienced signs, wonders, and powerful works. In October, bishops from Egypt, Kenya, and DR Congo came to celebrate the church's 34th anniversary.
