A Seoul-based church hosted a Christian culture festival last week.

Pastor Lee Soo-jin, chairperson of the Pastors' Association, and 7,000 church members attended Manmin Music Festival 2018 held in Yeouido Park in Seoul on June 16.

The festival was hosted by Manmin Central Church of the United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ.

“Most of the members of our church have met and experienced God who is the healer, and the church has been praying for the prosperity of the country and for the welfare and peace of society and politics,” Pastor Lee said in her message.

“Manmin Central Church had conducted overseas crusades in 14 countries since 2000 and delivered the message of the cross, and in the crusades an innumerable number of people were healed and accepted the Lord. In the future even bigger crusades will be held on each continent and the greater works of the living God manifested.”

One of the members working with Yeongdeungpo Police Station said, “This cultural festival was held in good order and peace and featured a mature sense of citizenship. We are planning to publicize this event as a good example in the police.”

Singers and dancers of the Performing Arts Committee like the electric string quartet Miracle, soloist Joo Sung-kyung and the Brass Ensemble showed high-quality performances. The Power Worship Dance Team also performed a traditional Korean fan dance and an inspirational dance. In May 2018, the Power Worship Dance Team was invited to the 70th?Independence Day Festivities of Israel and played a role to promote the church and Korean Christian culture.

Approximately 7,000 members attended the event. The church's powerful ministry and charitable works were presented in a video, singers and dancers of Performing Arts Committee showed beautiful performances, and Rev. Dr. Lee Soo-jin delivered her message.

The powerful video produced by GCN (Global Christian Network) presented many cases of divine healing including burns, cardiac infarction and atopic dermatitis that have taken place by the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee Jae-rock, senior pastor of the church and the author of the books “The Power of God,” “God the Healer,” “The Message of the Cross” and “Love: Fulfillment of the Law,” which have been published in many languages. The second video presentation showed Dr. Lee Jae-rock's ministries on relief for the poor and students. He is currently giving relief to 220 elderly people who have not received proper dental treatment but are in need.
