The ministries of Manmin Central Church which have grown up in the fiery works of the Holy Spirit and have been accomplishing the world mission since its founding in 1982

Manmin Central Church had its Founding Service in a sanctuary that was about 36 square feet in area with 13 believers. At first the church had only 7,000 won (about $7/US). At the service, Pastor Jaerock Lee delivered the message under the title of 'The Treasure of Treasures Is Faith.' Since then, the church has been running the race of faith with obedience alone. As a result, Manmin Central Church became a mega church that is able to accomplish the global parish along with about 9,000 branch and associative churches.
By meeting the living God, the senior pastor, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, was healed of all his diseases, which had troubled him for seven years, all at one time. He loved God more than anything and lived by the word of God. In the meantime, he received God's call to be a servant of the Lord and prayed to open the church with faith. He believed there is nothing impossible for God, so he did not want any help from his relatives and others. Listening to his fervent prayer of faith, God answered whatever he asked including sanctuaries, podiums, telephones, pianos, bell towers, and so on.
Just like the early churches described in the Acts of the Apostles, many signs, wonders, and powerful works have taken place. The deep understanding of the word of God, which was acquired through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, has been proclaimed. Through them, the members have been able to increase their faith. Their prayer and evangelizing efforts have allowed for the church to experience great revival again and again.
Manmin Central Church was selected by the Christian World, a magazine published in the U.S, as one of the 'World's Top 50 Churches' and it recognized the church for achievement in the domestic Christian network and rapid growth. Since 2000, the boundary of Rev. Dr. Lee's ministry has extended over time. He has conducted overseas crusades in many countries including India, the U.S., and Russia with tens of thousands of, hundreds of thousands of, and even millions of people in attendance. During one crusade in particular, the church led in the historic and monumental moment when the gospel returned to Israel back in 2009.
Furthermore, the church has spread the power of the Holy Spirit and the holiness gospel that let people know about God the Creator and Jesus Christ through various tools and media: Dr. Lee's multi-lingual books; Manmin News, which is translated into 20 languages; GCN (Global Christian Network); and MIS (Manmin International Seminary).
Dr. Lee has encouraged the servants of the Lord who are dispatched to other countries or other areas saying "Begin with nothing. Receive answers from God one by one through prayers. All servants of the Lord have to do is to pray and be armed with the word. Servants must quickly become sanctified through earnest prayer and receive power from above. If you cultivate your heart into spirit, God will give you whatever you ask. Your church will also see the number of members automatically increase. You must love your sheep that God has entrusted to you more than your family."
