Love Bears, Believes, Hopes, and Endures All Things (2)

“… [love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Senior Pastor Rev. Jaerock Lee (1 Corinthians 13:7)

One day in 1998, my wife received ‘Manmin News’ placed on the plate with pancakes from some people. Even at that time, the members of the church made pancakes and delivered “My life is nothing ‘Manmin News’ to preach. After reading ‘Manmin News’, my wife believed 100% of God’s word and many testimonies without God’s work” contained in it, and she wanted to visit Manmin Central Church with such words and works of Deacon Bongbae Kim (Age 56, the 20th Parish) God. So, I drove her to Manmin Church for the Friday All-night Service. At that time, many members were diligently walking towards the church, and they seemed very happy. I felt that Manmin Church is a very gracious and Holy Spirit-filled church. On that that, my wife became the fl ock of Manmin, and two days later, I began to attend Manmin Church with her. Afterwards, listening to sermon tapes of the Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee, such as “the Message of the Cross”, I got to know God’s will one by one, and it was interesting to live a Christian life. However, I wondered why the church members were following the Senior Pastor so much. I was wondering what kind of person Dr. Lee is. So, I diligently attended the meetings with him. ࢕ The members came to him with various problems and received his prayer. The Senior Pastor always preached God’s love and His living works so that the members could receive answers from God, and he tried to plant faith to them by all means. Senior Pastor Dr. Lee’s attitude towards the members was always the same from the beginning to the end. He was gentle, and he was like a caring and loving father. After receiving prayers from Dr. Lee, the members who experienced answers and blessings glorified God with their testimonies. As these good works continued to take place, after I met him, I came to love the Father God and the Lord 6 Manmin N ews No. 699 Aug. 1, 2021
