The rich contents help the members grow up in faith. Accordingly, Manmin News is now read and loved by many people in overseas countries as well as in Korea.

Deaconess Hyangran Kim said, "I read Manmin News that was put on my bed in the hospital and went to Manmin Central Church. I listened to the sermon in the church and received the prayer for the sick. Afterwards, the severe pain in my arms was gone and my crooked middle finger was straightened. It was amazing!"

Deacon Byeongwoo Bae in Busan Manmin Church recounted, "After I received Manmin News on the street, I searched for the church's website and listened to Dr. Lee's sermons. I was greatly moved. When I saw the powerful works being performed that had occurred in the biblical times, I even could not believe my eyes."

Missionary Ping Ping Wong of Singapore Manmin Church stated, "Manmin News includes good and rich contents and great pictures. I can gain spiritual knowledge and find the keys to problem solving. As I read the testimonies, my faith grows up. And I can choose from numerous editions according to whom I want to evangelize because it has various kinds of contents."

Let's give all thanks and glory to God who has guided the way of Manmin News until this 29th anniversary. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee who supported Manmin News, those who have been devoted to its publication, and all people who have prayed for it and evangelized others with this paper.
