Elder Celliah Ebenezer (President of Industrial Employees Prayer Fellowship, Chennai in India)
I was born into a wealthy Christian family in Madurai District in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. I liked exercising very much and wanted to be a wrestler. But my parents' teaching of goodness and their exemplary lives led me to devote myself to the Lord.
I ran a huge valve manufacturing company, Greenfield Engineering, and performed my ministry by serving as President of the Industrial Employees Prayer Fellowship. We have financially supported local pastors and missionaries and helped well-known preachers from overseas countries hold crusades in Chennai.
I came to be sure that Dr. Jaerock Lee is a true servant of God through his India United Crusade 2002
One day in 2002, I heard from an acquaintance of mine, Pastor Owen Roberts, that a crusade would be conducted with Dr. Jaerock Lee as its speaker. I worked as a chairman of Crusade Publicity Committee and publicized the crusade through many different kinds of media including TV and newspapers.
Dr. Lee's India United Crusade 2002 drew a total of more than 3 million people. It made history in Indian Christianity and glorified God greatly. Although there were a variety of difficulties and interruptions from others, they were all in the preparation process for God's blessings.
In particular, Tamil Nadu issued the Ordinance of Banning Forcible Conversion just before the crusade. It was a test of great faith not only for pastors who prepared for the crusade, but also for many Christians. There seemed to be no choice but to give up; however Dr. Lee pushed ahead with the crusade only with faith.
The consequence was unimaginable; the powerful works of God, signs, and wonders overflowed and countless souls accepted the Lord and received healing through Dr. Lee's messages and prayer. They gave glory to God. I saw the crusade go on in the hand of God's absolute help.
Manmin Ministry India was organized to spread the holiness gospel and the powerful works
After the crusade, I came to have firmer faith and became more eager to spread the gospel. In the end, Manmin Ministry India was organized with Pastor Joseph Han ministering to Chennai Manmin Church. From that time on we have spread the holiness gospel and the power of God by conducting Pastors' Seminars hosted by Chennai Industrial Employees Prayer Fellowship. Since I worked for the Lord, I came to receive blessings in business and perform my ministry more actively.
I have visited Manmin Central Church twice and received a lot of grace. Back at home, I delivered the news about the church, Dr. Lee's spiritual messages, and his books to my family and relatives. As a result, my nephews who are pastors, came to long to visit Manmin Central Church—the scene of power.
I was amazed by Dr. Lee's power once again in 2013 Manmin Summer Retreat
In August 2013, I participated in Manmin Summer Retreat 2013 and experienced the amazing power of God. At 7:30 P.M., on August 5, the seminar started. After Manmin's performers gave a special performance and as the presider was introducing the speaker, a few drops of rain fell at first. But then it started to rain. Dr. Lee did not move, even in the rain, and neither did the members.
At that moment the India United Crusade 2002 flashed through my mind and I came to be filled with inexpressible emotion. This is because back then Dr. Lee preached in heavy rain during the crusade on the third day. At that time, it was a blessing because people in Chennai had been suffering from a water shortage for ten months. For that reason, the attendees listened attentively to the message with happiness rather than leaving. After his preaching, he prayed for the sick on the stage and many testified to their healing through prayer for the sick. Many people watched the scene on TV and came to the crusade held the following day and it was crowded with countless people.
The memories came through my mind, and I became full of expectation with a thought 'What kinds of blessings will be given to us?' I looked at Dr. Lee with full attention. After the introduction of the presider, Dr. Lee boldly prayed to God. "Rain, stop. Clouds with rain, scatter! Sky, be made visible and stars appear!" Then, the seminar started.
Not long after, surprisingly, the black clouds were scattered, it stopped raining, the blue sky was opened, and stars appeared. God sent the cool wind to us and dried wet clothes. Hallelujah! After the message, Dr. Lee prayed for the sick and all the attendees. Many people were healed of all kinds of diseases and gave testimonies. My nephews were also healed, which touched me even more greatly.
By prayer, Pastor Victor Selvan was healed of a 22-year-old disease and Pastor Simon was healed of high blood pressure that troubled him for four years
Pastor Robinson Victor Selvan (Zion Garden Assemblies of God Church) received a lot of grace reading Dr. Lee's testimonial memoirs Tasting Eternal Life before Death and he has watched GCN TV every day. For 22 years of uric acid (protein waste) accumulated in his knee joints so they were swollen all the time due to gout and the severe pain caused a lot of troubles for him. He also had to control his body condition by eating vegetables because meat such as chicken and beef made more urate in his body and caused his legs to become even more swollen.
But when he received Dr. Lee's prayer with faith his pain was gone. He came to walk up and down stairs without pain and he also was able to eat beef and chicken with no problem. He had no pain at all. Pastor Sathya Moothy Simon Paul (Jesus Comforts Ministry) was healed of a four-year problem with high blood pressure and came to be more assured of Manmin's ministry with thanks to God.
I have met innumerable foreign pastors, but the one who I respect and love the most is Dr. Jaerock Lee. Many pastors and believers in India still remember Dr. Lee and his crusade and they talk about it. I give all thanks and glory to God who desires all people to be saved, loves more than 1.2 billion souls of the people in India, and let them meet the true shepherd.
