Our church, established in God's great providence to lead all peoples of the world to salvation, celebrated its 39th church opening anniversary on July 25th.
On July 25, 1982, our church offered the opening service with the message, “The Treasure of Treasures Is Faith” in a sanctuary of about 33 square meters with 13 members including 4 children. At that time, through the prayer of Pastor Jaerock Lee, countless works of wonders, signs, and works of the power happened, and the number of people being saved increased day by day just like the Early Churches. In December 1984, our church moved to a 66 square meter sanctuary, and in February 1991, the number of registered members exceeded 10,000.
In July 1991, after the denomination of the United Holiness Church of Korea was formed in the providence of God, the Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee played a part in various religious events such as “Holy Spirit World Explosion Crusade” as the Joint Chairman in 1992, and “Peaceful Re-Unification Jubilee Crusade in 50th Anniversary of Independence of Korea” as the Administrative Chairman. In 1993, our church was selected as one of the world's top 50 churches by Christian World magazine of the United States, and has grown into a global church.
In August 1993, Pastor Jaerock Lee preached the gospel as the main preacher in the ‘Washington D.C. Evangelism United Crusade’ organized by 180 churches in the United States, and in September in the ‘LA Evangelism Crusade’. As well as North America, he gave glory to God by leading pastors' seminars in Argentina, South America in 1996 and 1997.
Our church, which had been striving for national evangelization and world missions, entered the era of the World Mission in earnest beginning with the ‘Uganda United Crusade’ in July 2000. In many countries such as Pakistan, Kenya, the Philippines, Honduras, India, Russia, Germany, Peru, the United States, and Estonia, our church held overseas crusades to proclaim God the Creator and Jesus Christ with the explosive power. As a result, countless souls were healed and saved, as well as Muslims, Hindus, and Catholics were converted.
In particular, through the Israeli mission that started on the 25th church opening anniversary on July 2007, and through the ‘Israel United Crusade’ held in Jerusalem in September 2009, our church played a significant role in the revival of Christianity in Israel. It was fulfilled just as God had told us to accomplish the mission in Israel and in the world from the early days of our church founding.
Even now, through the handkerchief on which Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed (Acts 19:11~12), God shows the works of power transcending time and space and guarantees His presence in our church.
In addition, our church is preaching with Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermons, which had been interpreted in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through countless prayers and fasting, via GCN TV, books, and social media, thereby saving souls and leading spiritual change and growth of Christians around the world living in the last days.
In the early days of the church founding, God showed 17 members a vision of the Grand Sanctuary to be built in the last days. By building the Grand Sanctuary at the most proper time, the providence in the end time will be accomplished so that all peoples of the world can come to salvation and receive the Lord who will come again.
We give all thanks and glory to God the Father, who will lead us in His good will, and will greatly accomplish the providence of the end time through the ministry of Manmin, confirming that the Bible is true through the works of the living God the Creator.
