"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."(Habakkuk 2:14)
Dr. Esther Chung (President of MIS)
There are many pastors who were impressed by Manmin ministry and long for the holiness gospel. They have requested the establishment of the seminary in their areas and wanted to hear theological lectures. Finally on March 17th of 2005, online lectures were made available. On April 17, the MIS was established with its first lecture given at the missionary training program of the Foreign Parish. MIS is a theological seminary with the goal of training competent pastors who will work in the local mission field by systematically educating them with the five-fold gospel of sanctification. Currently, MIS continues to hold biblical seminars in the US, Europe, and Latin America. The seminary is delivering God's will and providence to many pastors and church leaders. Once they are awakened by the word of life, they can influence the members of the church they are pastoring. In this way, numerous souls can be led to become true children of God that God wants. Therefore, MIS is playing a big role in accomplishing the Great Commission of the Lord by quickly spreading God's word and power to the entire globe in this end of times. MIS is glorifying God with its vigorous ministry. Whenever the President Dr. Esther Chung holds seminars with the fundamental messages in Christian life such as 'The Message of the Cross,' 'The Measure of Faith,' 'Spirit, Soul, and Body,' 'Heaven' and 'Hell,' hundreds or thousands of pastors are touched by understanding the spiritual meanings of God's word and want to work with Manmin Central Church. Hundreds of churches have already registered as branch or associative churches. The headquarters of MIS is located in Seoul and it has campuses in Belgium, UK, Russia, India, China, Taiwan, US, Peru and so on. The students can also listen to the online lectures. If you log on to MIS website at www.manminseminary.org, register as a member and fill out the form, the application is completed. The website is available in English, Russian and Spanish, and also, the Japanese curriculum started beginning in December of 2009.

"Through MIS, I Found Christian Life Very Easy If We Really Love God"
Pastor Persiyal Rajadurai (Madurai Manmin Church)
I am pastoring Madurai Manmin Church, India. From the time that my father Pastor V. Rajadurai passed away, I have taken charge of the church. But if my life hadn't been changed, it would have been impossible for me to serve the church. Even though my parents wanted me to become a servant of the Lord, I wasn't certain. I had many spiritual questions unanswered in my Christian life. Meanwhile, I got to read Dr. Jaerock Lee's books that contained clear answers to all questions. The first book I read was Dr. Jaerock Lee's testimonial memoir Tasting Eternal Life before Death. Greatly touched by this book, I wanted to study the word of life preached by Dr. Jaerock Lee. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to study at the MIS India campus and started studying course materials from 'The Message of the Cross' onwards to 'Genesis,' and I discovered the evident love of Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, who fulfilled the providence of salvation for us. Realizing this love, I shed tears several times. And tears flowed down my face while I studied 'The Measure of Faith,' 'Heaven I, II' and 'Hell.' Previously, I thought Christian Life was just difficult. But after studying with MIS I came to know that Christian life is not difficult to lead, if we really love Father God. I could also break away from my wrong ideas about faith. Even though the Bible clearly defines what faith is, I couldn't understand it. Simply saying, I had only fleshly faith, and I couldn't find what kept my spiritual faith from growing. But through MIS, I could find the cause and came to know how to solve my problem. I learned that we have to obey the word of God with love toward Him, throw away all forms of evil and fight against sins to the point of shedding blood. I shared Dr. Jaerock Lee's testimony and sermons with one of my college friends who was a non-Christian. She was Hindu. I gave her Dr. Jaerock Lee's testimonial memoir Tasting Eternal Life before Death, and after reading it, she accepted Jesus Christ and gave this book to some of her neighbors. My vision is to spread this holiness gospel in every corner of Tamil Nadu State, Southern India. I also wish to help people who were raised in a Christian family but still do not clearly understand the word of God. I want to thank Dr. Jaerock who changed my life, authored many books spreading the holiness gospel to many people and established MIS.
