Commemorating Easter Sunday which is one of the three most important of Christian feasts, Manmin Central Church had the Easter Sunday Service and celebrated Holy Communion (Photos 1, 2). Members gave thanks and glory to the Lord together with overseas pastors and believers who came and shared joy of eternal life and hope for resurrection (Photos 3, 4).
The deeper the church members' love for the Lord becomes, the more greatly their joy and thanks are added. On March 31, 2013, Holy Communion was held during the Easter Sunday Evening Service. The service was also attended by the members of the approximately 10,000 branch and associate churches via GCN TV (www.gcntv.org), which made Easter more meaningful. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee preached the message entitled "Grace Given to Us". Prior to Holy Communion, he gave the intercessory prayer of power to issue forth the original voice and drive away all forces of darkness. Through the prayer, all church members as well as pastors, missionaries, and Levite workers came to ride on more rapid spiritual flow. Special guests from Germany, U.K., Russia, Peru, Japan, and China attended the service. Pastors Rapael Lonji Yanga and Mudidi Mungudia Kabangu from Germany stated together that they visited the church to witness the powerful works manifested through Dr. Lee and spread the holiness gospel in Europe including Germany. They added that Dr. Lee's ministry has showed the best example of Christian churches in this generation. Pastor Yanga, who had attended Dr. Jaerock Lee's 2004 Germany United Crusade, went on to say that many people described the crusade as that of a blessing God gave to Germans and through the crusade believers increased faith and churches became strengthened. Pastor Kabangu watched the Easter Performance and also made comments on it. He said, "It was wonderful. It realistically showed the suffering of Jesus who took the sins of mankind. My heart ached so much seeing the scene where Jesus was scourged." On March 31, 2013, they received Dr. Lee's prayer for their ministry. Missionary Jane Mpologoma Nabanakulya from the U.K. said that her church members had experienced the power of God and tried hard to be changed through prayer and fasting. She said that she was moved by the Easter Performance that delivers the biblical scenes vividly where soldiers divided Jesus' outer garment into four parts and women followed Jesus weeping. She added she could see how Jesus was crucified. Maurine Lasfolk from Sweden paid a visit to Manmin Central Church with her children, and Yulia Gorelova who is a member of London Manmin Church in U.K. also came. They also experienced spiritual blessing given to Manmin on Easter Sunday and gave glory to God. Additionally, Missionary Wong Ping Ping, former producer and MC of Far East Radio Broadcasting and Deaconess Wei Iran, who had been healed of depression by Dr. Lee's transcending-space-and-time prayer, had a happy Easter Sunday during their visit to Manmin Central Church.
