I Met the Lord Through Sermons on YouTube_ Words of Life and Powerful Works Live on the Internet
Today, more than ever before, we have more means of media to evangelize the world. Our church has been spreading the gospel via GCN TV, book translations into 60+ languages, MANMIN NEWS in 30+ languages, and the church website in 7 languages. In this era of social network services such as Facebook and Instagram, we are spreading the gospel also through YouTube, a worldwide video sharing site
Home Churches and Local Sanctuaries Through YouTube Broadcast
India has the 7th largest territory and 2nd biggest population in the world. More than 300 million people watch YouTube videos in India. It is expected the number of viewers would increase exponentially as the Internet connection increases. Pastor John Kim of Delhi Manmin Church said, "There is growing persecution against Christianity in India. Missionary works through media such as YouTube has become more important than ever in these times. The believers here voluntarily put the voice-over and subtitles in Hindi over the sermons of Rev. Jaerock Lee and began to broadcast them on YouTube. As a result, we get hundreds of prayer requests, testimonies, and requests for counseling every month. A great number of people are experiencing divine healing and God's blessing through the Senior Pastor's prayer. As the viewers of sermons on YouTube are increasing, they invite me to their groups to preach the gospel, and through such meetings, family churches are being organized." The same kinds of events are taking place in Latin America, too. Colombia Manmin Church uploads videos of Sunday morning services and Friday all-night services of Manmin Central Church in South Korea. Thirty to forty locations in such countries as the United States, Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and sometimes Spain, several Middle Eastern countries, and Italy, watch the videos of the services. The viewers came to meet the living God and local sanctuaries were opened: 1 in Honduras and Mexico respectively, 3 in Venezuela, and 4 in Colombia.
Contents that Let the Viewers Experience the Works of the Holy Spirit
In order for this media to be effective in spreading the love of Jesus Christ, the contents must be spiritually useful and powerful. The reason why videos of our church on YouTube have proven to be effective is because they contain the words of life that our Senior Pastor, Rev. Jaerock Lee has received by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through his countless fasting and prayers. They not only teach clearly the providence in the cross through Jesus Christ, but also contain very deep spiritual messages. They quench the thirst of the believers who are spiritually thirsty all over the world. As in John 4:48, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe," it is very difficult to have faith in this end time without actual evidence of the living God. However, through the prayer for the sick of Rev. Lee in the video, many people experience divine healing and they gain true faith and strength to change. Special Healing Sessions are being held in the 2nd part of the last Friday all-night service of each month. Those who attend them on YouTube receive divine healing through the prayers done with the handkerchief on which Rev. Lee prayed (Acts 19:11-12). They are giving glory to God greatly (Page 3). Brother Kailash in India said, "I los my confidence since I lost my hearing in my left ear. I was always worried I might lose hearing completely. However, I came to know about Rev. Jaerock Lee on YouTube, and my hearing was recovered through the special divine healing session recently."
