peace." Next day she went on to emphasize, "God is alive and works even
today! You can meet Him only if you have faith!"

Rev.
Mikyung Lee praying for the sick |
While Rev. Mikyung Lee is praying for the sick, many
were approaching to the pulpit to testify their experiences of healing.
Some threw away the sticks, some removed the glasses, some shouted
"Hallelujah!" after being healed of hearing problem, and various other
diseases were healed in the name of Jesus Christ.
Rev. Timothy Rai, the senior pastor of Lokanthali church,
who
interpreted in Nepalese, said, "It's amazing to witness the
manifestation of the power of the living God through Rev. Mikyung Lee
from Manmin church. Many pastors were deeply touched by powerful works
of the Holy Spirit through the healing festival"
The
missionary to Nepal, Grace Lee says, "When I introduced on Manmin
ministry here in Kathmandu and Himalayan region, the pastors and church
leaders were touched because they could see the very strong
manifestation of God's power through Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. Some of them
wanted to have this kind of healing festival here in Kathmandu. God
sincerely answered the prayers of these pastors"
Meanwhile 400 pastors and church leaders in Kathmandu
attended
the seminar on "The secret of church growth" on Nov. 17(Fri) at BICC.
Based on Acts 2:42-47, Rev. Mikyung Lee explained the practical method
to experience the revival in the church they are ministering through
the example of Manmin Joong-ang Church that was established in 1982
with just 13 members and 7 USD by Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and grew up to
have 100,000 with 4,600 branch churches globally.
Bro. Jeremi Jung, the international coordinator, said, "I
give
all thanks to God Almighty for what he has done through the seminar and
the healing festival which unified the local churches and encouraged
them to have confidence in their heart on the revival of churches in
this special season of change in Nepal. We'd like to help the local
church leaders, if they want, to continually work together to take this
opportunity for the development of Christianity in Nepal'"
Recently the government of Nepal and Maoists signed a peace
agreement ending the 11 long years of conflict and bloodletting.
