MMTC Is Looking for New Trainees!

Nowadays, we see the signs of the last days recorded in the Bible becoming clearer. Also, God who said, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" (Isaiah 6:8) is more anxious to find His true workers at this critical time. He is looking for workers who will go out and spread the gospel with the heart of the Lord.
Since its founding in 1982, our church received a vision toward world evangelism from the Lord. From that point on, we have been praying without ceasing, and devoting ourselves with our hearts and offerings. Establishing MMTC (Manmin Missionary Training Center) was also a part of this effort. Now MMTC is recruiting its 20th class of trainees. We urge Manmin members who have a vision toward world missions to enlist and participate.

Training Organization for Future Missionaries

MMTC (Manmin Missionary Training Center, President Deborah Lee) was established in September, 1997. Starting from the first class in October of that year, it has had 19 graduations as of 2009. The graduates are now working in 11 countries including the USA, India, Nepal, Belgium, China, Thailand, etc. Thirty-seven of them are serving the Lord as missionaries, thirty-nine as missionary candidates and eight as pastors.
With a vision to establish mission centers in major cities around the world and cultivate many missionary candidates, MMTC has been training people with its unique and effective training programs through God's powerful works.
MMTC is building cooperative networks by planting mission fields, sending-off missionaries, through literary missions, holding seminars, running the "Message of the Cross' camps during Vision Trips around the world. All these activities consist of theory and practice. First, the trainees receive various, dynamic education needed in ministry, and they study the Bible and then experience real, hands-on missionary activities. In addition, MMTC is now undergoing preparations to take even newer steps toward world evangelism.

Qualification for Trainees and the Training Process

Qualified trainees are baptized Christians who are registered members of the church, who have a dream and vision toward world missions. Even those who received baptism at a different church are qualified; as long as they are registered members of the church. In addition, applicants should be in good health and have no problems with traveling to overseas countries and have at least a high school diploma.
The training is made up of two parts: the first part consists of a regular study course and the second part is an internship. During the first part, which is the regular course study, trainees will listen to lectures for 3 months, and after taking a vision trip and conducting research and making a presentation of a certain mission field. Then, during the second part of the training, they will participate in a ministering internship for 3 months, followed by a short-term mission trip (6 months). After finishing the entire training, they will be interviewed and commissioned as a missionary according to the church denominational laws.
The training program consists of three categories: mission praxis, mission adaptation and strategy, and equipping through the Word. They learn about the overseas vision trip, short-term mission, ministering internship, and lectures include: Communication in Different Cultures, Leadership and Teamwork, Practical Preaching, Spiritual Gifts and Missions, International Etiquette, Healing Mission, Broadcast Mission, Regional Studies, Administration of Missions, Planting Churches in Different Cultures, Spiritual Equipping through the Word, Introduction to the Old and New Testaments, Church History, Introduction to Missions, The Fivefold Gospel, and Preaching Practicum. Especially through the vision trip, the trainees have a chance to apply what they learned to their mission field and experience ministering in other countries.
Before being commissioned as a missionary, trainees make a clear decision about where to go and in what direction to lead their mission, through the vision trip. Beginning January of 1998, starting with the first vision trip to Japan and Taiwan, MMTC has been taking vision trips to West Asia, China, Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Indochina. Because there are many cases where a mission field is decided, and then a commissioned missionary is sent to that region, the vision trip is considered a "Field Operation" through which trainees have the chance to research the spiritual, cultural, economical and social situation of their mission field, and prepare for their future ministry.

From an Egg-Vendor to a Missionary - Pastor Jacob Lee (Graduate of the 2nd Class of MMTC, Missionary in Africa)

Once an egg vendor, the fact that I am now saving souls in Africa as a missionary is like a dream. In 1997, after joining our church, I got to hear the testimonial sermon of Bishop Dr. Myongho Cheong via cassette tape. Through the message, I repented of my past, and while fasting and praying with the thought, "How could I pay back the grace of the Lord?" in my heart, I received the vision to work for mission in Africa.
In 1998, while being trained in MMTC, I gained a clear vision about the African mission which seemed just vague while attending various programs. In November of that year, I was commissioned to Nairobi Kenya where Bishop Dr. Myongho Cheong works. I was ready to obey with 'Amen' whenever the Lord called me. So I had no fear about the things to come.
After I arrived in Kenya, I realized that there was nothing I could do with my own thoughts; I had to do everything with prayer. Though I received training through MMTC, I had to be trained again in a real ministry setting. The most difficult thing of all was communication, because of the short preparation time I had. Because I was unable to set apart a specific time for studying, I had to memorize English vocabulary words by sacrificing some sleep. I disciplined myself with a determination heart that I wouldn't sleep unless I reached my daily goal. So before long, I could understand and speak English pretty fluently. I always experience God's help in my ministry when I rely on God with faith in the scripture, "Everything is possible for him who believes" (Mark 9:23).
Now I am devoting myself to praying earnestly to become a powerful servant to spread the holiness gospel in 54 countries in Africa.
