 On the occasion of the 26th anniversary of Manmin, the church was packed on Sunday, October 12, 2008, with approximately 130 political and financial leaders, members of the press, officers of the Global Christian Network (GCN) and the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) from about 30 countries around the world including the United States, France, Russia, and Africa.
Following the Morning Service, church members enjoyed a huge amount of food prepared in advance and the Evening Service consisted of specially-themed events and festivities to commemorate the church's 26th anniversary and GCN's 3rd birthday. The gala was broadcast live to the rest of the globe on the Internet, via satellite, and on cable channels.
Most of the overseas guests have special ties with Manmin. They testify to having received God's healing of diseases by the gospel of sanctification and the works of God's power and to having experienced revival themselves and at the churches they attend or serve. This edition of Manmin News retraces the international mission work engaged by Manmin in 3 interviews with Elder Chelliah Ebenezer from Chennai, India; Rev. Ricardo Churrango from Peru actively working for revival in Peru through spiritual experiences; and Rev. Igor Nikitin, who has a great vision for mission work through broadcasting.
 
 "Only the gospel of sanctification and God's power can awaken Hindus."
~ Chelliah Ebenezer (Chief Executive Officer, Greenfield Engineering Works, India)
I was born into a family that has been Christian for generations but I had not possessed true faith until 7 years ago. At "The 2002 India Miracle Healing Prayer Festival with Dr. Jaerock Lee" in October 2002, my life was renewed and I have been living a joyful life ever since. I still cannot forget the tremor and the presence of God all around at the event that gathered more than 3 million people, and how moved I was by the explosive manifestations of God's power amidst the powerful works of the Holy Spirit at Marina Beach.
I feel the gospel of sanctification that testifies to God the Creator, Jesus Christ, and the truthfulness of the Bible is necessary not only for unbelievers but also for pastors, ministers, and ordinary Christians. For that reason and in order to dissolve elements that place restrictions on foreign missionaries in doing their work following "The 2002 Festival," Missionary Joseph Han and I have established a legal entity called "Manmin Ministries India." Chennai Manmin Church is also assisting with a variety of legal issues. Recently, led by the Industrial Employees Prayer Fellowship of which I am president, we have been spreading the gospel of sanctification and the news of the works of God's power at pastors' seminars, and we plan to conduct meetings and seminars of many shapes in the future. I have received the blessings in spirit and in flesh; I am of robust health at 72 years of age and blessed in many aspects at work as well.
After an innumerable number of Indians witnessed God's wondrous works at "The 2002 Festival," they desire Dr. Jaerock Lee and Manmin's ministry. On the occasion of the church's 26th anniversary, I came to Korea with a couple of pastors and church leaders whom I have known for a long time and now return to India, having once again engraved in my heart the church members' passionate love for God and their devotion. The gospel of sanctification and manifestations of God's power have led Manmin Central Church to its 26th birthday and I am reminded yet again that they are what we need in India to awaken Hindus.
 "God has allowed me to experience miracles and led me into a brighter spiritual world."
~ Rev. Victor Ricardo Churrango (President, Pastors' Association of Carabiyo, Peru)
Ten years ago, God led me to found a church. My wife was opposed to it at the time but soon afterwards, something astounding transpired. My wife died unexpectedly and when I besought God for her life in tears, He brought her back to life. This paved the way for the foundation of a church and it was not easy to meet with a pastor who could understand what we experienced. Then in 2004, I was ecstatic to learn about Manmin's ministry spreading the news of God's works that surpassed our experience.
Upon hearing about "The Peru Healing Crusade with Dr. Jaerock Lee" scheduled to take place in December 2004, I went up to a mountain to pray so that I would know whether or not I should assist with the Crusade. God showed us a circular rainbow and I became certain of His will. Also, just prior to the Crusade, Dr. Jaerock Lee appeared in my wife's dream and gave her a dream and a vision. However, she did not know who he was at the time; she only found out afterwards. With greater conviction, we could volunteer and help with the proceedings of the Crusade. Following the Crusade, our church was blessed and the membership increased twofold from about 400 to more than 800.
In order to be transformed even more by the gospel of sanctification and to receive strength from God, I have been studying Dr. Lee's written works and other published materials I received from the Peru Mission Center. Of course, I faithfully listen to his messages on Enlace.
My wife and I had dreamed of coming to Manmin Central Church for the last 4 years and we are returning to Peru after a wonderful time in the joy the Holy Spirit has allowed us. When we visited the site of the Muan Sweet Water, God opened my spiritual eyes and I saw countless angels and rainbows and the moment my wife submerged herself in the Sweet Water, the pain in her waist disappeared.
I thank God for leading us to this point in our lives in Christ and we hope to become His instruments used for His purpose.
 "I hope people, through broadcasting, all around the world will return to the Lord."
~ Rev. Igor Nikitin (President, TBN Russia & RBN Rodnoy)
I accepted the Lord in college on account of someone who was traveling in Russia at the time. While translating the small English Bible he had given me into Russian, I experienced God's grace and have today become a messenger of the Gospel.
The first time I learned about "Manmin" was through "The 2003 Russia Miracle Healing Festival with Dr. Jaerock Lee." That Festival was broadcast to 144 countries around the world via satellite, on over-the-air and cable channels, and on the Internet, and countless testimonies were received from people who watched the Festival. Afterwards, Russia underwent a profound transformation and spiritual blessings. Many churches have come to realize the significance of "a sanctified life" and how such a life is the shortcut to receiving God's answers and blessings.
Through satellite broadcasting, I transmit Global Christian Network (GCN) programs in the Russian language to the United States, Russia, Europe, and the Middle East. Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermon programs have been bringing forth an enormous change to Russian-speaking people around the world. Feedback from viewers in Israel, Muslim countries, and the United States are received in thousands on a daily basis at our website and on telephone. A woman, who said she had even attempted suicide in a severe depression following her husband's death, sent us her tithes, testifying that she is now leading a new life ever since she began watching Dr. Jaerock Lee's message programs. A woman living in central Russia testified to having her sight restored when Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed for the blind. Another woman, who is now able to read the Bible without her glasses for the first time in her life, has become a pastor at a large church and is engaged in a variety of mission work.
I express my sincerest gratitude for all Manmin members who support without reservation the work of spreading the gospel of sanctification to all corners of the globe and I hope, through broadcasting, people all around the world will return to the Lord.
