During District, Sub-district, and Cell Leaders' Devotional Service, Dr. Jaerock Lee presented the clear way to become men of spirit who God is earnestly looking for to save countless souls in the world (Photo 1). Before his sermon, selected representatives offered praise singing "The Castle of the Shepherd 2" and then all devotees sang "Ministry" (Photos 2, 3). The devotees and believers in attendance through GCN as well as in the main sanctuary added their spiritual longing in the service (Photo 4).
Manmin Central Church has two systems to take care of the members: one is 'Parish System' organized based on one's residential area and the other is 'Mission System' formed according to ages. With the systems, the church has achieved spiritual growth and revival. The parish system consists of the Great Grand Parish, Grand Parish, Parish, District, Sub-district, and Cell, and they endeavor to save souls in the front lines of spiritual warfare.

The District, Sub-district, and Cell Leaders' Devotional Service 2014 was held during Sunday Evening Service on February 2 in 2014. Together with 1,766 devotees, Elder Hongki Park, President of Male District Leaders' Association, Senior Deaconess Hyesuk Nah, President of Female District Leaders' Association, Elder Haengcheol Shin, President of Male Sub-district Leaders', Senior Deaconess Heeseung Lee, President of Female Sub-district Leaders', Elder Enoch S. Lee, Male Cell Leaders', and Senior Deaconess Nanyoung Cha, President of Female Cell Leaders' jointly devoted themselves to the worship service. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee preached the message under the title of "Men of Spirit" taken from Romans 8:6, through which they could all check their faith and renew their resolve to accomplish their duties.
Dr. Lee said, "No matter how fervent your heart is, you can't bear the fruit that God wants with fleshly faithfulness. Only when you achieve the heart of spirit can you discern the will of God and change many souls."
Then, he urged them to check the three points to become men of spirit. The first is whether they think in goodness; the second, how much they can hear the voice of the Spirit; and the third, how much love they have in their hearts. In closing summary, he told them to demolish fleshly thoughts, the frameworks of knowledge, and arrogance to justify themselves. Additionally he emphasized that they should accomplish sanctification by circumcising their hearts. By doing so they should act in truth with an unchanging heart.
