Manmin TV's entourage left Seoul on Thursday, February 15, 2007 for Orlando, Florida, to partake in "The 64th National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention and Exposition." Founded in 1944, the NRB hosts annual Convention and Exposition for international Christian broadcasters and publishers who seek to promote their rights and exchange information. The NRB event is the largest of its kind in the world. This year's Convention received nationwide attention with the attendances by U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona and White House aide Tim Goeglein. Pastor Benny Hinn was also seen at a breakfast meeting hosted by Israel Ministry of Tourism.

The Global Media Alliance (GMA) Reception held on Saturday, February 17, 2007, was attended by more than 200 broadcasters, who were greeted by Chairman Stuart Epperson of NRB International Committee and Dr. Mikhail Morgulis of the Spiritual Diplomacy Movement. Manmin TV, Ltd. introduced the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) at this year's NRB Convention. IPTV enables viewers to watch any programs of their choice whenever and wherever. With a set-top box and broadband Internet access, the viewers can enjoy GCN's satellite programming as well as any previously recorded programs on "video-on-demand" (VOD) in high-definition anywhere in the world. Manmin TV's presentation of IPTV received special attention as it was thought to be employing the newest available technology in broadcasting in carrying out the work of the Lord. The Reception also featured performances by the electronic quartet "Miracle" of Manmin Joong-ang Church's Nissi Orchestra and fan dances. The audience responded with thunderous applause, asking for an encore performance to each piece of music presented. Towards the end of the performance, Manmin's performers received a standing ovation. "Miracle" also performed at the Manmin TV booth during the duration of the Convention and all those who witnessed and passed by the booth exclaimed, "Beautiful! Beautiful!" On Monday, February 19, 2007, the renowned gospel singer/songwriter Don Moen performed alongside "Miracle" at the Manmin TV booth.

The three-day Exposition began with the tape-cutting ceremony on Sunday, February 18. Marking an eighth appearance at this annual NRB event, the presence of its booth in the center of the convention hall was yet another reminder of the increased prestige of Manmin TV among NRB members. Many fellow communicators in Christ in attendance, including NRB President Frank Wright, expressed sincere interest in IPTV. Manmin TV also struck deals to transmit its programming on TBN and GOD TV – both of which boast worldwide coverage – while broadcasters from the United States including Hawaii, Israel, Australia, Europe, and Pakistan requested Manmin TV to provide its programs to their stations, networks, and affiliates. Vice President for Programming Janice Smith at Daystar, which broadcast live the proceedings from "The New York Crusade with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee" in July 2006, also visited the Manmin TV booth and shared the testimonies her network had received from its viewers. Urim Books, a company entrusted with publishing and distributing Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's published works, also received attention with its display of his books translated in 15 languages. Sulon Publishing House and Bethany House Publishers proposed to publish Rev. Dr. Lee's books while Watchman TV from Georgia offered to produce a television program featuring Rev. Dr. Lee's Hell. This trip was a poignant reminder of the scope of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's ministry of God's power on a global scale and the undeniable significance of broadcasting and publishing ministries.
