Manmin Central Church has devoted itself to giving the best of praise to God since the opening of the church. The Performing Arts Committee is in charge of the duty. It has 30 performing arts teams, five choirs, the Nissi Orchestra, and 18 soloists.

They present God's grace through their praise, dance, worship dance, instruments, and Korean traditional music in meetings in and out of Korea. They also move the hearts of a great number of souls through GCN TV (Global Christian Network). Among the teams is the Power Worship Dance Team. With the variety in their worship dances giving glory to God, they have also received the love of the church members.





The team has been formed for 14 years

In 1999 the team was composed of six members for the Transfiguration Mount Tuesday Worship Service that was for five missions: Young Adults' Mission, College Mission, Canaan Mission, Paul's Mission, and Mary's Mission. This Transfiguration Mount Worship Dance Team came to belong to Performing Arts Committee in 2001 and with the addition of three new members their name was changed to the 'Power Worship Dance Team'.

They have been participating in various events and the team now has 14 members. In particular, the team gave glory to God with wonderful worship dances beginning with the 2003 Russia United Crusade and continued with Dr. Jaerock Lee's crusades in Germany, Peru, the U.S., and Israel.


"We are one family in the Lord"

From 9:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., the members practice very hard during weekdays. They take lessons and prepare for special performances for services or events. Nevertheless, they feel like practicing more. So they often practice all night and even on Saturday or during national holidays.

In the midst of it all they also put their time and efforts into developing and designing new choreography. They share ideas about it and try their best to present the best performances. What's interesting is that they have no secrets they keep from each other. They talk about their personal matters and share everything with love like the Early Church members.


Trust in service and love

Their practice time is a good chance to practice the love they've learned. If there was a member who lagged behind others, other members came to church earlier in the morning to help and encourage her. Of course, they did so voluntarily. As the member noticeably improved in her dance skills, with confidence she came to play a significant role on the team.

Sometimes, they have fallen down or run into each other but they stood up immediately. This is because they didn't want to make other members worry about them even though it hurt. They always feel the love and put trust in each other, so they feel like they are in Heaven.

Most members started to dance late in their lives so they had to get over some painful times with patience in their studies in modern dance, jazz dance, ballet, rhythmic gymnastics, and acrobatic dance. But they thought all the time, "As long as we can give grace to church members with a little bit of toil…" They have comforted and encouraged one another saying, "We can do more." On this foundation of love, the new members have improved their dance skills.


Testimonies overflow in their lives

The team members have given out the fragrance of Christ around about them, and supported their families and relatives. Their families came to have peace and the financial blessing and healing testimonies flood over their lives.

Deaconess Jinah Kim, the team leader was healed of a hip fracture and twisted pelvis; Sister Sora Chung was healed of pain caused by inflammation between collar bones and ribs; Deaconess Ji-yung Cho, of damaged thumbnail; Deaconess Myung-hee Hyun, of pain in right knee; Sister Yeonkyung Kim, of backache; Sister Kongjoo Lee, of bloody nose and menstrual pain; and Sister Yeonok Kim was relieved of backache caused by a sprained back. Sister Ahgang Kwon had 1.5-liters of fluid in the pleura of her left rib cage, but it totally disappeared.


The goal of becoming the best of the world-class teams

In 2003, they came to have a vision for the world mission while giving the performances in Dr. Lee's Russia United Crusade. They saw their performance spread to the whole world through many TV broadcasting stations and realized that how important the praise filled with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit was in the Christian ministry.

To have better skills than worldly cultural arts performances they have taken lessons. They have been preparing for the day when they will accomplish the world mission with the shepherd.

Based on dance skills, choreography, and performance skills, they also prepare themselves to become dance teachers for new members. They now practice earnestly to become the world's best team. We hope that through them spiritual praise and dance will be spread throughout the whole world.
