Pastor Bladimir Osipov, Chairman of United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ, Russia


In the navy as an officer I met and accepted the Lord, and later became a pastor. I met Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee during his Russia United Crusade 2003. My church registered as a branch of Manmin and I became Manmin's missionary to Russia in March 2007. Since 2008 I have served as Chairman of United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ, Russia.

Rev. Soojin Lee, President of the Pastors' Association of Manmin Central Church came to St. Petersburg in June of 2014 and led a Handkerchief Healing Meeting and Pastors' Seminar, in which local pastors were bond together. On my visit to Korea for Summer Retreat in early August of 2014, I was accompanied by two pastors who had received great grace in Rev. Lee's meeting.

During the Retreat I realized what it means by following the shepherd spiritually. I had listened to Dr. Lee's messages online and read his books in Russia, which I found to be quite different from learning from him in person.

God poured down great grace on us by the Spirit's works throughout all events including the Seminar, Divine Healing Meeting, Sports Day, and Camp Fire Worship Concert. Dr. Lee's praising that was offered with all his heart and gave the members hope for New Jerusalem in the Concert, especially, impressed me a lot. I engraved in heart what being a true shepherd is like and made up my mind to be a sincere shepherd who is able to plant hope for Heaven in my church members.

Dr. Lee has shown the love of God all over this sin-filled world with the mighty weapons—holiness gospel and powerful works of the Holy Spirit. I admire him. I would like to spread the holiness gospel and Manmin's ministry in Russia and Russian-speaking countries. I hope to be a perfect instrument to spread the love of God to the world. Hallelujah!
