The Christmas Lighting Ceremony 2015 was held at 9:50 P.M. on December 18, 2015. The 2015 Christmas ornament's theme was "the Festival of Flowers" in New Jerusalem. The ceremony was broadcast live via GCN.
In 2015, Manmin Central Church, together with its ten thousand branch and associate churches, ran earnestly in the God-given flow of whole spirit. They prayed for God-given prayer titles 'Glory' (Haggai 2:9), 'Fruit' (1 Thessalonians 5:23), 'Beautiful Sanctuary' (Revelation 21:10-11), and 'Power of Re-creation' (Genesis 1:3) during the year and they also experienced amazing signs, wonders, and powerful works.
Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee had his Sabbatical year in 2015 but he never ceased to fulfill justice for people around the world and in Christian churches as well as the church members by offering up endless prayer and petitions in his mountain prayer house. It was for the providence of the end time. The church members had chances to fulfill the minimum of justice that they should fulfill through deeds of renewal and faithful works. Finally, a great number of true fruits of spirit were made ready, which was in preparation for 2016.
Though the Sabbatical year, Dr. Lee came to the church from mountain on special occasions such as Lunar New Year's holidays, Easter, the Leadership Conference, Summer Retreat, Anniversary Event, and Christmas. On his visits he gave the members grace and power so that they could ride well on the flow of whole spirit.
During Lunar New Year's holidays, Dr. Lee urged the members to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything. He emphasized that by walking in Light they can live without poverty, diseases, and disasters. He also prayed for them to receive blessings. With his word in their hearts, they had two Special Daniel Prayer Meetings and prayed fervently. They came to have more hope for Heaven.
In Manmin Summer Retreat 2015 attended by 27 countries, people were healed of various diseases and infirmities and came to be healthy in spirit and body. Although the national heat wave warning was in effect, thanks to heavenly winds from the spiritual realm, they could enjoy the retreat in the optimal weather. They could cast away fleshly thoughts and came to ride well on the flow of rapid renewal.
As described above, Manmin members in the space of the shepherd enjoyed peace and happiness throughout 2015. Even though there were natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and wars constantly happening, the members were always under God's protection (pages 3-4). Despite global economic recession, the members' tithes also increased.
Through Manmin Leadership Conference 2015, which was attended by workers both in and out of Korea, the members learned God's perfect love—the combination of justice and love. In this great grace of God, Manmin members armed themselves with the Word and prayed fervently so that they could resemble God with longing for whole spirit.
They also fulfilled their duties with their very lives and tried to take hold of the most glorious heavenly dwelling place New Jerusalem 'by force'. Through vivacious march of faith, the members' faith increased and attained to the level of faith of standing on the rock of faith (Matthew 7:24), spirit (John 4:24), and whole spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23). By bearing such fruits, they glorified God.
The grace and blessings of God given to them in 2015 was a direct gift extending from sacrifice and devotion. Dr. Jaerock Lee sacrificed his everything and even his life, by which the members increased faith rapidly after December 25, 2010 and achieved the standardization of spirit in 2014. Through his sacrifice, the flow of whole spirit formed in 2015.
In 2016, the members who have been renewed will be united in trust and love and spread the Lord's gospel as key players in the third stage of take-off in which they will accomplish the providence of the end time that will lead dry-bone-like souls to salvation with the power of re-creation.
From 11 P.M. on December 31 to 4 A.M. the following day, New Year's Day, they held the New Year's Service 2016. In the first part, Dr. Lee delivered the message entitled "Endless Power" taken from Psalm 62:11. In the second part, they gave thanks offerings for New Year and prayer titles of 2016 to the church and received Dr. Lee's prayer of blessing. In the third part, the performance was delivered under the four themes based on the prayer titles given by God: "The Church the Father Loves" (Ephesians 5:9), "The Church that Leads All Peoples to Salvation" (1 Timothy 2:4), "The Sanctuary Full of the Glory of the Father" (Psalm 37:6), and "The Church Accompanied with Endless Power" (Psalm 62:11). The Performing Arts Committee gave them chances to picture God's great plan that will be achieved through Manmin.
