Excerpt from Dr. Jaerock Lee's new bestseller Confessions_ The confession offered up to God by Dr. Jaerock Lee in the expectation of the boundless blessing and glory of God that will unfold at the end time



Manmin Central Church had its Merit Award Ceremony 2013 during Sunday Evening Service on March 23, 2014. The church awards Merit Plaques and Appreciation Plaques to pastors and workers who devote themselves to the church's development at the end of each year. In the early part of the following year, the church has Merit Award Ceremony that is given for church members who are recognized for their contributions to the church.

Senior Deaconess Myungsoon Ryu received Merit Award for her contribution of serving new comers and overseas guests. She said, "I realized that what God really wants is the sanctified heart. So, I think while serving, 'What if the shepherd were doing this?' I want to achieve the heart of the Lord quickly and work faithfully with a fragrance that is good and beautiful."

Manmin members have grown up in faith remarkably during the past year 2013. Almost 1,000 members have stood on the rock of faith—the faith to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything. Also, there are approximately 200 pastors and believers who achieved the heart of spirit. One's achieving spiritual faith at this end time full of sin and evil is an amazing blessing not only personally but also for the church because it is assured of abundant spiritual assets.

It was made possible because God accepted the fruit of repentance through the 3-month-grace period given to pastors and Levite workers (the church's full time workers) and the shepherd's intercession. On March 31 in 2013, the last day of the grace period, God blessed the members to be forgiven of all sins and transgression and gain the blessing of 'regeneration'.

Since the church's opening, Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor of Manmin Central Church, has borne abundant fruit with its 10,000 branch and associative churches. It was done by having firm faith and offering unceasing sacrifice to accomplish God-given visions such as the world mission, the construction of Grand Sanctuary and entering the Holy City of New Jerusalem. He has prayed that many more spiritual warriors will come out who will proclaim the love of God the Creator, His power, and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

On December 25 in 2010, people of whole spirit, which is the highest level, came out (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Witnessing the power of the Spirit that can't be performed by men, the church members came to long all the more to become people of spirit whom Satan can't touch. Manmin's pastors and members will not forget the love of God given to them during the past year 2013. They won't forget the shepherd's sacrifices either and will become spiritual workers and move ever forward for souls' salvation.

Interview of Merit Award Honoree

"I came to have a certain vision to achieve the world mission as Manmin's Levite worker"

Deacon Dongwon Seo, GCN



I confess from the bottom of my heart that I am what I am by the grace of God and through December 25 of 2010 and March 31 of 2013 that were afforded to me by Dr. Jaerock Lee's love, sacrifice, devotion, and tears.

In 2013 when Dr. Lee issued forth the original voice, I corrected my Christian life through the three-month-grace period given to pastors and Levite workers. I also changed my attitude in worship service and prayer in Manmin Prayer Center's Divine Healing Meeting and Daniel Prayer Meeting led by Center President Boknim Lee. Then, I could recover my first love. I was also healed of degenerative lumbar disc and received financial blessings as well.

Additionally, Pastor Heejin Lee's appointment as GCN TV's General Director provided another turning point for me both in spirit and body. Most of all, my goal to enter New Jerusalem in Heaven was made firm and my vision became clear to deliver the love of God to the whole world at this end time full of sins and evil as a Levite worker of Manmin who can contribute to achieving the world mission.

I give all glory to God, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Jaerock Lee, Mrs. Boknim Lee, and the church members who have prayed for me with love. I also give thanks to my spiritual family, GCN President Elder Boaz Lee and all workers, especially, to Manmin Magazine production team members. Hallelujah!
