The 24th anniversary celebration for Manmin Joong-ang Church, a congregation that accomplishes the world through sanctification and the light of God's power
 Manmin Joong-ang Church gave glory to God with the 24th anniversary celebration and performances during the Sunday Evening Service on October 8, 2006. During the commemorative service, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee urged all in attendance, "On the occasion of the church's 24th anniversary, let us bear more abundantly the fruit of the Holy Spirit through God's power, sanctification, and heavenly gifts that are manifested through the work of the Holy Spirit."
During GCN's first anniversary celebration, a progress report, a commemorative message, a congratulatory message, and a cake-cutting ceremony took place. These proceedings were followed by "The 24th Anniversary Celebration" with the performances by the Nissi Orchestra, a multi-laser show, Korea's traditional dances, worship, and an electronic string quartet.
Guests from 21 countries including the United States, Russia, France, China, Japan, and India did not hesitate in expressing their admiration to the glimpse into an unsurpassed display of Christian culture. Many distinguished individuals including Vice President Jean Pierre Bemba of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, State Senator Ruben Diaz of New York, and many others from abroad sent warm wishes to both Manmin Joong-ang Church and GCN.
  
  
 "I greatly admire Manmin's ministry that affirms the proof of faith to any country of the world."
Dan Wooding (Founder & President, ASSIST)
I was so impressed and moved to have learned that there is no term "fear" in the ministry of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. The fact that Rev. Dr. Lee has held crusades in countries where it is dangerous to spread the gospel ? such as Chennai, India, where the government was trying to shut down the crusade from even taking place, or in Pakistan where public ministry is essentially impossible ? attests to my remarks. I admire Manmin's ministry that spreads the gospel and the evidence of the gospel to even the countries that threaten their lives and interfere with their effort to spread the Good News.
At the 24th anniversary celebration of Manmin and the first anniversary festivity of GCN, I saw a series of performances that were more marvelous and spiritual than anything I'd ever seen before. It was just spectacular to see such powerful and colorful performances devoted only to magnifying God.
 "GCN will become the premier Christian network in the world."
Nestor Colombo (President, GCN)
I am very delighted that GCN (The Global Christian Network) is well known among the members of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), COICOM (Ibero-American Confederation of Christian Communicators and Mass Media), and the Fellowship of European Broadcasters (FEB). GCN is currently transmitting to the world a wide array of programs produced around the globe.
GCN is continuing its growth and is broadcast via satellite to all of the United States. We are receiving so many calls and so much feedback from the metropolitan New York area and the rest of the U.S. from people who have received God's healing and experienced transformations in their lives that we are actually in need of more individuals to receive and register all the testimonies.
I also want to point out that praise and worship programs produced by Manmin TV are distinguished in style and taste and are very popular among our viewers in New York. GCN will become the premier Christian network in the world!
 "God's marvelous plans for the Jewish people will be fulfilled through GCN."
Rev. Sergey Vocharnikov (Senior Pastor, Spirit of Life Church in Nazareth, Israel)
Through the wonderful celebration event, I could see the kind of fruit Manmin has been able to bear as God has been with this ministry for the last 24 years. Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages are filled with spiritual power and I am witnessing with my own eyes how countless people around the world are accepting Jesus Christ and receiving salvation.
When GCN becomes available in Israel, the people of Jewish faith who once denied Jesus will see for themselves the ministry of God's power and countless souls will return to Him. I believe that God's marvelous plans for the Jewish people will be fulfilled through GCN.
 "Viewers love Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages and are very content with other programs, too."
Gerard Uthayakumar (President, Holy God TV of France)
We've been receiving letters and e-mail from GCN viewers not only in France but also in Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and the United Kingdom. Our viewers are delighted with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages, particularly with the series on "The Message of the Cross." They are also very content with other programming such as those featuring praise and worship. The quality of Holy God TV has improved because of GCN and we would like to continue broadcasting GCN programs.
 
 "I am just happy and grateful to know that such marvelous performances for the glory of God are possible."
Dr. Jenis av Rana, M.D. (Member, the Faroese Parliament Løgtingið)
If someone had told me in advance that such awesome performances were possible, I would have told him that he was joking. But now, after seeing what I've seen, I am just happy and grateful to know that such marvelous performances for the glory of God are possible.
I am very fortunate to have met with scores of WCDN-member doctors from around the world and the members of Manmin Joong-ang Church. As a medical doctor and the owner of a radio station, I have met many people who have been healed by Our Lord. I think it only makes sense for people who have met Jesus to be healed by power of God.
 "GCN only aims to spread the gospel of Our Lord."
Estrellita Juliano Tamano (President, Federation of International Cable TV Association of the Philippines)
GCN programming is currently available on 45 cable channels throughout the Philippines. The essential difference between GCN and all other networks and programs is that GCN seeks only to spread the Word of God. Because GCN only aims to spread the gospel of Our Lord, I believe that countless Filipinos will come to salvation.
 "Readers of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's books are receiving overflowing blessings."
Rev. Pierre Luc Difuta (President, PND of France)
I'd come to learn about Manmin Joong-ang Church in France and subsequently attended "The Democratic Republic of the Congo Miracle Healing Festival with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee" in February 2006. I've also come to realize that Manmin Joong-ang Church is playing a vital role in spreading the gospel at the end of the times. I am very happy to have come to Korea for Manmin's 24th anniversary and GCN's first anniversary celebration.
Readers of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's The Message of the Cross in France and Gabon are receiving overflowing blessings. This clear explanation and description of Jesus Christ is a bestseller in France. I hope more of Rev. Dr. Lee's books will be translated into French and also pray that his lectures on Genesis and Revelation will soon become available to all French-speaking people around the globe.
 "GCN's impact in Pakistan is huge."
Rev. Javed Rauf (Director, JC TV of Pakistan)
JC TV is the only Christian cable channel in Pakistan. About 600,000 Christians in the country are subscribed to our programming and another 200~300,000 Muslims are watching our channel. It is our privilege to be able to broadcast GCN programs. People in Pakistan are in love with GCN's programs and with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee.
We are receiving many testimonies from those who watch GCN and there is this one lady who testified that while watching the proceedings of "The 2006 New York Crusade with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee" and receiving prayer with her hands on the TV screen, all the pain in her legs disappeared. GCN's impact in Pakistan is huge.
