IMCR Conference 2000 overview (2)

On September 24(the Lord's Day), some representative pastors who attended the IMCR Conference preached from the 2nd service to 7th service in Grace and Truth Church.

The special lecture by Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho, the highlight of the conference, lasted for 4 hours from morning till afternoon on September 25(Monday) in Anyang Sanctuary of Grace and Truth Church. Before listening to Rev. Cho's special lecture, they entered the broadcasting room and observed how to manage and control the simultaneous broadcasting system in 23 sanctuaries.
And then they listened to Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho's special lecture. Because they were so full of the grace and truth of God they clapped their hands at each touching and challenging moment during the lecture.
In Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho's lecture on "Laymen's roles in church revival and mission", he suggested many guidelines for understanding laymen's roles and vitalizing their ministries in the church, which have became elements for Korean church revival in the history of Korean Christianity.
The pastors listening requested Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho to provide more details, so the pastors postponed their afternoon schedule and Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho continued his lecture after lunch and emphasized things such as successful ministry and ways of preaching, holy worship service and praise, the reasons of depression in European and American churches and measures that can be taken, various doctrines and opinions which distract from the gospel, and the gospels that we should preach and teach.
All the pastors listening to his lecture were touched and moved by the grace of God so that they stood up and gave him a big hand after his message.
They visited Kyongbok Palace and other cultural and historic places, and
then they observed ordinary citizens living and working by looking around
Namdaemoon markets until late that day.

On the fifth day, September 26(Tuesday), IMCR volunteers named Somkimi and Dowoomi, conducted choirs and deaconess Hyewon Song sang special songs during the lectures and seminars. Rev. Andy Gaor from the Philippines delivered his lecture with the title of " 21st Century Church Vision: REVIVAL and MISSION", Rev. Nathaniel O. Adekolu from Nigeria lectured on "Vital Gems for Excellence and Success in Life and Ministry" and professor Heungsup Song gave his lecture on "Satan's Mass-cultural Temptations and Christian Strategies".
All the pastors and church members attended "2000 Men's Home Cell Seminar" at 7:30 on that evening and they were touched and moved by Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho's message. They also praised the Lord by listening to a women's choir and by watching the musical, "Living Christmas Tree" performed by the Suwon Choir Committee.

a Certificate of IMCR Completion in encouragement of their participation.
The pastors expressed their thanks for the warm hospitality of church members.
