1. 2012-2013 New Year Service, the original voice was issued forth
Starting with the New Year Service 2013, God let the original voice be issued forth that has the power to bring about the work of re-creation. Through the original voice God not only allowed healing works and answers to be received quickly, but also the work of the Spirit that changes the hearts of men as well. Above all, the church members grew up in faith quickly by experiencing the work of the original voice that was given out in the sacrifices and love of the shepherd. It was an unforgettably blessed year. Here, 'the original voice' is the voice of God who created the heavens and the earth and all things in them. Jesus also issued forth the original voice when He revived Lazarus who had been dead for four days (John 11).
2. Easter Sunday, March 31, the renewing of Christian lives
The first three months of 2013 was the grace period given to the pastors and the Levite workers (the church full-time workers). During this time, they were blessed to ride on the rapid spiritual flow by repenting of their past wrongdoings. The spiritual flow was extended to all the church members. The last day of the grace period was March 31, 2013 which coincided with Easter Sunday. With the shepherd's intercession, those who participated were given the opportunity to destroy their great walls of sins that were unforgivable within justice and they were able to increase their faith quickly. All members as well as pastors came to lead happier Christian lives, with their souls prospering, everything going well, and blessing of good health coming to them.
3. The separation of spirit, giving hope for Heaven
Apostle Paul underwent the separation of spirit and his spirit visited Paradise (2 Corinthians 12:2). Such a work unfolded in Manmin Central Church on May 25, 2013. Through Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, God allowed the spirits of 8 sanctified persons to be separated and the separated spirits to visit Hell, the Lower Grave, the Upper Grave, and each of the (five) heavenly dwelling places. They each testified to what they witnessed. The members could vividly hear about Heaven and Hell that Dr. Lee had preached about. They also came to be assured more about the actual existence of Heaven and of Hell. They also learned about profound depths in the hope for New Jerusalem.
4. Leadership Conference 2013 with the theme of 'Whole Spirit'
Leadership Conference 2013 was conducted under the main title of 'Whole Spirit' (Hebrews 10:22) from July 1 to 3 in 2013 with Dr. Jaerock Lee as the main speaker. Many pastors, church workers, and members as well as group leaders attended. Dr. Lee explained about the evidences of entering into whole spirit. The first is to be united as one with God; the second is to discern goodness as in the sight of God and to practice it; and the third is to be spiritually faithful. The Leadership Conference in 2011 was held under the title of 'The Measure of Faith' and in 2012 it was 'Spirit'. With these titles preceding the Leadership Conference 2013, the conference served as another chance for the members to come forth as fruit of spirit and whole spirit.
5. An unforgettable moment at the Manmin Summer Retreat
Manmin Summer Retreat 2013 was conducted from August 5th to the 8th in Deokyusan Resort in Muju, Jeonbuk Province with almost 10,000 people in attendance and included people from 22 countries such as the U.S., Israel, and Switzerland, as well as branch churches in Korea. The event was live-broadcast via GCN (www.gcntv.org). Dr. Lee delivered the message entitled 'Whole Spirit' on the first day. The next day, members were united in supporting the Manmin Field Day sports activities. On the third and last day, the Camp Fire Worship & Praise was held on the special stage in Jumping Park at the resort. Led by Dr. Lee the members offered up the fragrance of God-pleasing praises.
6. A powerful work at a different level
On August 5, 2013, it happened at the Manmin Summer Retreat. Before Dr. Lee preached the message, rain started to fall in large drops. Dr. Lee then prayed, "Rain, stop! Clouds, disperse! Let the sky be seen and stars be seen!" Soon, the rain stopped and the blue sky and stars were made visible. After Dr. Lee's prayer, God divided the thick black clouds that covered the sky and stopped the rain. Dr. Lee prayed for the sick after delivering the message. Through the prayer, the blind came to see, and the deaf to hear. And the lame who had been relying on wheelchairs and crutches stood up and walked. Countless testimonies followed.
7. "These signs will accompany those who have believed" Authoritative power and strength anointing
As Elisha received a double portion of Elijah's spirit by following him, the 73 pastors and church workers who trusted, loved, and tried to achieve the heart of the Lord received the authoritative power and strength from God through Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer. He prayed with his hand on each person and prayed on their handkerchiefs that they were to use for souls' salvation (Acts 19:11-12). It has resulted in signs being unfolded through them. The church members came to have greater longing for spirit.
8. The 31st Church Anniversary Service and Celebration Performance
In celebration of the thirty-first Church Anniversary on October 13, 2013, Dr. Jaerock Lee delivered the message entitled "New Jerusalem" taken from Revelation 21:10-11. He preached about the Spirit's boundless mercy and help, and the God-given special grace given to guide people to New Jerusalem. After the Celebration Service, Manmin's Performing Arts Committee performed in celebrating the anniversary under the title of "The Castle of the Shepherd in New Jerusalem II". While watching the performance produced using God-given songs, the church members gave thanks for the love of God who had been leading them to New Jerusalem.
9. GCN's new program schedule filled with grace and emotion
On the Church's 31st Anniversary, GCN began reorganizing its system to proclaim the holiness gospel and the power of God all around the world. It took another huge leap through new programs. God Himself gave the contents and the 16 new programs attracted favorable reviews from viewers. There are a variety of programs such as sermon programs including GCN founder and board chairman, Dr. Jaerock Lee's "Lamp in Our Life" lecture series; programs helpful in our daily lives such as "Today's Weather", "GCN Yoga with Yuri", and "Easy English"; and other programs of praise, for children, and for joy. GCN is available for 24 hours anytime anywhere on www.gcntv.org and via m.gcntv.org.
10. WCDN conference attesting to the power of God with medical data
WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network) presented various divine healing cases in its conference. On June 14 and 15 in 2013, the 10th International Christian Medical Conference was held in Mexico under the theme of "Spirituality & Medicine". Around 350 doctors from 24 countries attended. In the conference several doctors presented cases of divine healing that were possible only through God and could not be done through modern medicine. In one case in particular, Dr. Manuel Pastrana of Mexico presented the case of his daughter who had been in coma and regained normal health, and Dr. David Eu presented the case of his son who came down with septicemia and enteroplegia caused by a urinary tract infection and was healed through Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer.
11. Handkerchief Healing Meetings being flooded with powerful works
In the Bible the power of God was unfolded through handkerchiefs and aprons that were carried from Apostle Paul to the sick. In the same manner, Manmin's pastors manifested the power of God with the handkerchief on which Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed. They led many overseas crusades and meetings to lead many people in the way of salvation (Acts 19:11-12). Rev. Soojin Lee, President of Pastors' Association (Photo 1), led crusades and meetings with the handkerchief in Israel. Manmin World Guidance Pastor Heesun Lee (Photo 2) conducted handkerchief healing meetings in 5 European countries including France and Belgium and other overseas branch churches in Japan, Canada, and the Philippines. Pastor Taesik Gil, ministering to Daejeon Manmin Church, also conducted the miracle healing meetings with the handkerchief in Dubai, Sharjah, and Al Ain of Abu Dhabi. They preached about the living God and Jesus Christ.
12. Christmas full of the love of God, the Lord, and the Spirit
Christmas Day of 2013 was a more meaningful day than ever to feel the love of God the Father, the Lord, and the Holy Spirit from the depth of our hearts. At 11 P.M., on December 25, 2013, the Christmas Celebration Service was offered up. Dr. Jaerock Lee preached the message under the title of "Father's Love" taken from 1 John 4:16. He talked about God the Father's enduring love that changes us and allows for us to bear the fruit of glory. At 7 P.M. the previous evening, Pastor Dongcho Shin preached the Christmas Eve message with the title "His Name is Jesus" based on Matthew 1:21. Then the Performing Arts Committee delivered the celebration performance "The Love of the Lord" on the special stage in the main sanctuary. The church members gave glory and thanks to God who had guided them to receive the comprehensive blessings in the rapid spiritual flow throughout the past three years and engraved the great love of the shepherd on their hearts.
