July 25, 2012 was Manmin Central Church's 30th Anniversary of the Church Opening.

Manmin Central Church, which opened in a 33-square-meter sanctuary with 13 members and approximately seven dollars, has now become a church with approximately 10,000 branch and associative churches. It is the church that proclaims the holiness gospel and the power of God to the whole world. Through the broadcast ministry of GCN TV and the literary ministry of books and printed materials, it delivers the love of the Lord and leads countless souls to the way of salvation. The 30-year history of Manmin has been always laid out and forged by the Spirit's guidance.

In 1974, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee was healed of all his diseases at once when he met God. Four years later, he was called as a pastor and prayed for his church opening. While praying, he received God's Word that told him to "open the church when the sun was scorching hot." As God had spoken to him, on July 25, 1982 he opened the church and offered up the church opening service with the message entitled "The Treasure of Treasures Is Faith."

Because the church prayed for God's kingdom and righteousness in the sanctuary every day the way the early church did, God gave them visions for world evangelism and the Grand Sanctuary. Just as the Lord's disciples confirmed the Word with signs that followed them, Dr. Lee performed God's powerful works and the church continually grew over time.

In 1990s, the church was selected as one of the "World's Top 50 Churches" by the Christian World magazine of USA. Since the beginning of this third millennium AD, Dr. Lee has conducted overseas crusades that attracted from hundreds of thousands to millions of people in many countries such as USA, Pakistan, India, Russia, and Germany. In particular, the gospel returned to Israel when he conducted 2009 Israel United Crusade where he proclaimed that Jesus is our only Savior. (Relevant article is on page 4)

The 30-year history of Manmin is marked by obedience and love, which makes the members become filled with thanks. A lot of members who have endeavored to resemble the Lord have stood on the rock of faith or come into spirit or whole spirit by making their souls prosper. They are diligently taking New Jerusalem, that is the most glorious dwelling place in Heaven, 'by force.'

In addition, GCN TV has extended its coverage through GCN TV's globalization and now covers 176 countries. The church has spread the holiness gospel with several affiliated organizations such as Urim Books (www.urimbooks.com), MIS (Manmin International Seminary), and WCDN (World Christian Doctors Network).

Manmin Central Church will continue to lead innumerable souls to the way of salvation and extend the kingdom of God with God's great and amazing power that changes the heart of men at this end time that is filled with sin and evil. Moreover, the church will build the Canaan Sanctuary that is a start of the Grand Sanctuary through God-given blessing and fulfill His providence at this end time. We give all thanks and glory to God who has been with us with abundant fruit.
