It has been 30 years since Manmin News began to deliver the love and power of God to all peoples of all nations.
On May 17, 1987, Manmin Joong-ang News was published on a monthly basis. The first English edition was issued in January 1991, and in October of that same year, in celebration of the church's 9th anniversary, the paper began to be published biweekly. In October 2009, in celebration of the 27th anniversary, the 300th edition was re-named 'Manmin News'. It is currently being published in both online and offline versions and has been playing a pivotal role in the literary media ministry of the church.
Beginning in November 2012, the 30th year of the church, the website www.manminnews.com opened. The website provides the newspaper in 32 languages: Korean, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, French, Hebrew, Tamil, Hindi, Indonesian, Portuguese, Mongolian, Thai, Tagalog, Bisayan, Arabic, Estonian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Urdu, Dutch, Bulgarian, Finnish, Danish, Swedish, Burmese, Nepali, German, Italian, and Sinhalese languages. People all around the world can read the paper through this service. At the request of the members of Moldova Manmin Church in Eastern Europe and the people of Rumania, on June 4, 2017, the paper will be published in Rumanian as well.
Depending on the local situation, it is issued on weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly bases. It features the Word of Life, with clear explanations of the Bible; special articles that cover spiritual answers to many questions; testimonies of people who experienced God's works; and news about churches in and out of Korea. This variety of contents enable the members to spread the gospel more efficiently and help to increase their faith.
Manmin News has been loved by many readers outside of Korea as well as in Korea, and it plays a role as a medium leading to the way of salvation. Also, through the newspaper, the Holy Spirit's works occur and people have experienced God's powerful works (Refer to pages 3 and 4).
Pastor Daniel Rozen, President of Israeli Pastors' Association remarked, "I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Manmin News for spreading the word of God and powerful works in every corner of the world. The testimonies of blessings and lessons are the source of encouragement and help in us extending the kingdom of God. I give thanks to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee who has had this paper of life that leads people of the world to salvation, published. Congratulations on the 30th anniversary of Manmin News!"
Missionary Wong Ping Ping from Singapore said, "Manmin News is easy to read, and enables readers to learn much of spiritual knowledge and solve their life problems. It also increases their faith through testimonies. It is an effective medium that satisfies needs of readers because it covers a variety of topics and contents."
Deaconess Iwamoto Yoko from Osaka Manmin Church in Japan said, "I benefit from Manmin News in my life. When I was faced with trials, the testimonies came to my mind and I was able to overcome them with faith. The Word of Life in the paper is presented on various topics in a clear and understandable way. I upload the columns, testimonies, and news articles on my Facebook, and people like it."
Elder Honggi Park (President of Male District Leaders' Association, Member of Expert Committee in Lee & Ko Law Firm, and Hansol PNS Inspector) suffered from a pollution-related disease for seven years. He happened to read Manmin News and came to the church. He stated, "A copy of Manmin News at the door of my house led me to this church twenty years ago. Since I was healed of my disease by Senior Pastor Dr. Lee's prayer, my life has been filled with thanks, joy, and hope for New Jerusalem. I hope the newspaper will be delivered into the hands of those who are in desperation like I was. I give thanks to Manmin News for delivering healing and bringing life to people."
Let's give all thanks and glory to God who has blessed countless people all around the world with joy of salvation, hope for Heaven, and endless love and grace until its 30th anniversary.
