1. The spiritual realm was revealed!

Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee has clearly shown the spiritual realm with in-depth messages such as "Heaven", "Hell", "Genesis Lectures", and "Revelation Lectures" and various rainbows, aurora lights, dragonflies' descending, and the division of spirit.

In 2017, especially, his powerful prayer set demon-possessed people free. By witnessing the work, the church members realized how the enemy devil tempts people to sin, puts them in diseases and trials, and finally leads them to hell. It was another chance for the members' renewal. Also, they felt such a great and deep love of God that released demon-possessed people and brought a happy life on them again.




2. Branch churches were established by GCN viewers!

An untold number of people have experienced change through Dr. Lee's sermon programs and received healing through his prayer for the sick by GCN (Global Christian Network). And, through his prayer for the sick many have been healed. In 2017, significant fruit was borne via the GCN broadcast ministry.

People in the world listened to Dr. Lee's messages and received healing not only through TV programs but through YouTube and many social network services. The viewers in Moldova, France, Switzerland, and Taiwan began to gather together for the church services in their own homes, and they later set up branch churches as the number of people increased.

Dr. Lee had prepared for the broadcasting ministry knowing that it would become an effective means to spread the holiness gospel at the end time. He eventually opened GCN and it has been transmitted to cover about 170 countries.

The book was ranked as the top weekly and monthly bestselling book among Christian books for six weeks in a row, and has deeply touched hearts of the readers.

In December, another biblical figure series I Will Send Elijah to You was published, following the other series Abraham, the Friend of God; Jacob, Whom I Have Chosen, the Descendant of Abraham, the Friend of God; and Joseph, the Passage to God's Covenant which all sold well as bestsellers among Christian books. The books have brought spiritual awakening and more grace to believers.




4. The baptism of the Holy Spirit's fire heated the hearts of people in Special Daniel Prayer Meeting!

In February 2017, the baptism of the Holy Spirit's fire poured upon the attendees in the first Special Daniel Prayer Meeting of the year that was held in two sessions for 42 days. All people who joined around the world via GCN as well as the church members were given grace to thoroughly repent, experience healing, and receive financial blessing. Their hearts' desires were fulfilled such as getting a job or promotion, their sinful natures were burnt, and their frameworks of thoughts were destroyed.

In October, the second Special Daniel Prayer Meeting of the year was held under the theme of "The Fruit of the Shepherd's Power". They prayed earnestly to change themselves relying on the shepherd's love and the justice he had filled for them. The two special meetings accelerated the flow of whole spirit and gave them a chance again to take advantage of riding on the flow.

The pastors in the U.S. sent their prayer requests to Dr. Lee to prevent anticipated severe damage. After his prayer, Irma changed its course, rapidly weakened, and finally dissipated. So, they were able to escape catastrophic damage. This amazing work of God was carried in a posting in The Washington Post which is regarded as one of the leading American daily newspapers, entitled, "The Hurricane Irma died out after the prayer of Korean pastor, Dr. Jaerock Lee."

Even before that, through his prayer, many typhoons had changed the courses and died out such as Matthew, Joaquin, Irene, and Gustav. People were also protected by his prayer during major earthquakes and forest fires. Sweet rain poured during severe droughts, and torrential downpours stopped during flooding. People experienced God's protection in disasters beyond human control.




6. The temperature was controlled in Manmin Summer Retreat!

From 7th to 10th of August, the work of controlling the temperature unfolded in Manmin Summer Retreat 2017 held in Deogyusan Resort, Muju.

It was done as Dr. Lee had proclaimed during Sunday Service on the August 6th. He had said that the temperature would be controlled through winds, rain, and clouds and set between 25 and 26 degrees Celsius.

Mongolia Manmin Church and Chiang Rai Manmin Church in Thailand both experienced having the same temperature ranges at home as they joined the retreat via GCN live broadcasting.

Every year since 2014, he decorated his prayer house and invited the people who had tried hard and succeeded in resembling the Lord. He prepared for the party with much care to help them feel the beauty and happiness of heaven, receive God's consolation and strength to work more faithfully and have more hope for New Jerusalem.

Particularly, the banquet held in 2017 was more meaningful with the special presence of God (Exodus 16:10, 33:11; Numbers 12:8). Not only those who were invited but also other church members in and out of Korea gathered and offered up services to God. Accepting their longing, God blessed them with healing and answers.




8. The way to being powerful workers was presented in Leadership Conference!

In July, Leadership Conference 2017 was held under the main theme of "Power" based on John 14:12 and it was attended by people from 21 countries. Dr. Lee preached about the meaning of power, the original heart of God embedded in the power, and the kind of power that changes the hearts of people.

The attendees learned that in power is goodness and love of God who wants to save all people of all nations. Moreover, they felt the necessity of power for reaping abundant fruit of human cultivation in the sin-filled world in the end time. They made up their minds to become workers who have power.

10. The Performing Arts Committee brought the beauty of Heaven to the stage!

Dr. Lee felt sorry for this generation because even praises to God had become secular, so he tried to have God-pleasing praises offered up in the church. In an answer to his heart's desire, God Himself began to give songs in 2009. The God-given songs known as 'Manmin Praise' have been used in the church's events and performances. They have filled the members' hearts with God's love and the hope for heaven. With the Manmin Praise, Performing Arts Committee has shown outstanding performances all around the world and spearheaded Christian culture throughout the world.

In April 2017, the performers expressed the Lord's sacrifice and love with the Easter Musical "The Tears of the Lord". The performance deeply touched the audience and received high praises of many.

In October, the church's 35th anniversary celebration performance showed the heavenly banquet in New Jerusalem. The performers danced a waltz, depicted heavenly water sports, and showed various performances along with a video presentation.

In December, the Christmas Performance was a live performance produced in the genre of a vaudeville production. It described the Lord's life, His love of the cross, and the seven-year sacrifice of the shepherd under the title of "The Lord's Birth". The performance extended great grace to the audience.


11. Doctors of WCDN provided proof of divine healing in medical cases!

In 2004, World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) was founded with the goal of awakening educated people at the end time. Under the name of WCDN International Conference, doctors and medical professionals gather from around the world annually and present divine healing cases with medical data as evidence.

In October 2017, the 14th International Conference was held in Russia with approximately 400 doctors and medical professionals from 13 countries in attendance, and most of the presented cases were those accomplished through Dr. Lee's prayer. They also learned the spiritual law applied to divine healing through the special lecture "The Cause of Diseases" based on Dr. Lee's book God the Healer. The video presentation "Noah's Flood" that was produced based on Dr. Lee's lectures on Genesis also drew great attention. They all felt proud of joining the ministry of WCDN.




12. Greater and more rapid works of healing and answers unfolded with the handkerchief!

Acts 19:11-12 reads, "God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out." In the same manner the power of God has been performed through the handkerchief on which Dr. Lee prayed. In 2017 alone, a number of handkerchief healing meetings were held in Israel, the U.S., Germany, France, Moldova, Ukraine, Latvia, Kenya, Mongolia, Thailand, Pakistan, and Egypt.

When pastors or leaders prayed for the sick with the handkerchief on which Dr. Lee had prayed, people were healed of many kinds of diseases such as AIDS and Parkinson's disease; vision and hearing ability were restored; some were set free from the demon-possession and others had their hearts' desires fulfilled. The fiery works of the Holy Spirit extended the kingdom of God. And in 2017 in particular, these works unfolded more greatly and quickly.
