[30th Anniversary of the Church Opening - Special II] Israeli Ministry - In the Great Missionary Journey in Israel, Jesus Christ Was Proclaimed!
Dr. Jaerock Lee started the 777-day Israeli ministry
On July 25, 1982, God set up Manmin Central Church and gave the church vision for the national and world evangelization and the construction of the Grand Sanctuary. He said that the church would 'awaken' Israelis when the Lord's coming is drawing near.
Finally, God allowed for the first meeting to be held in Nazareth where Jesus grew up on July 25, 2007 that was the 25th Anniversary of the Church Opening. From then on during his 12 visits, he preached the gospel following the Lord's footsteps from Northern to Southern Israel for three years.
His visits made the local Israeli pastors realize the love and providence of God towards Israel in the fiery works of the Holy Spirit. As a result, they became one in mind about the Israeli churches' growth, and in the unity of pastors they organized Israeli Pastors' Association named 'Crystal Forum'. As the Israeli Christian community gained its momentum, Dr. Lee started to preach the gospel to the orthodox Jews in earnest and tried hard to fulfill God's providence written in the Bible.
2009 Israel United Crusade held in International Convention Center in Jerusalem
From September 6 to 7 in 2009, Dr. Jaerock Lee's 2009 Israel United Crusade was conducted in International Convention Center (ICC) in Jerusalem which is the capital city of Israel as well. It was hosted by the Crystal Forum. The crusade was held under the theme of "God Is Great" and attended by local people and a large number of people from 36 countries. The event became a historic moment.
Dr. Lee delivered the message on "God the Creator" and "Why Is Jesus Our Only Savior?" His words were confirmed with signs that followed. By his prayer for the sick, numerous people were healed. They stood in lengthy lines on stage to give glory to God with their healing testimonies.
The crusade was interpreted into eight languages and live-broadcast through GCN TV, Enlace, CNL, TBN Russia, and Digital Congo. Furthermore, it was broadcast via public broadcasters, cable TV networks, and satellite TV such as Day Star, Miracle TV, Heaven TV 7. Through all of them, the crusade was broadcast to around 220 countries. As a result, the crusade was perceived as an unprecedented historic event in Christian history.
Downpour in Israel that followed by the prayer of power during the United Crusade
In 2009 Israel was suffering from extreme shortage of water due to a long period of drought. At the Israel United Crusade, Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed that it would rain. Pastor Daniel Rozen, president of Crystal Forum said, "On Tuesday, which was the next day of the crusade, I heard on TV news program that it was raining in the central part of Israel. It hardly ever rains in Israel in September. But there was heavy rainfall when I was on the way to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem a week after the crusade. It happened just as Dr. Lee had prayed. This is a proof of God's being with us."
The weather report announced by Israeli Meteorological Administration said the amount of rainfall in this period was much more than the average amount of the period of other previous years. The Jerusalem Post, which is Israeli major literary media, covered the story with the headline of "Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee of Manmin Central Church of Korea prayed for it to rain in Israel." And In Victory that is the major Christian portal site in Russian speaking countries also talked about it in the article entitled "Korean Pastor Prays for Rain."
Messianic Jews are preaching the gospel in the works of the Holy Spirit
Since the Israel United Crusade, the number of pastors who belong to Crystal Forum has been increasing over time and the local churches are being revived. They also have conducted a special crusade every year, commemorating '2009 Dr. Jaerock Lee's Israel United Crusade'. In fact, Messianic Jews had been neglected and ostracized by the society just because they accepted Jesus Christ, but through these events, they have become full of energy and have taken the lead in spreading the gospel.
In particular, a few Israeli pastors have led many miracle healing meetings with the handkerchief on which Dr. Lee had prayed, not only in Israel but in many countries including USA, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Estonia, and Finland as well (Acts 19:11-12).
In addition, Dr. Lee's books available in multiple languages such as Awaken Israel, The Message of the Cross, The Measure of Faith, Tasting Eternal Life before Death, and Heaven I & II are available in Israel and gaining in popularity. And, the courses of MIS (Manmin International Seminary) are open, which help the spiritual growth of Israeli pastors and believers.
Currently, people in Israel can watch Dr. Lee's sermon programs and receive his prayer for the sick via TBN Russia, CNL TV, Holy God TV, and Rodnoy Israel TV.
