"International Ministries & Church Revival(IMCR) Conference 2000" was held actively and successfully by Grace and Truth International Ministry in every sanctuary including the Garden Sanctuary of Grace and Truth Church for 6 days and 5 nights from September 22(Friday) to 27(Wednesday).
With the title of "Church of Apostolic Faith and Leadership", this conference was the second international conference composed of about 300 pastors from 16 countries including America, Japan, Canada, Nigeria and the Philippines and some missionaries dispatched from Grace and Truth Church. They had a wonderful and gracious time by meeting new challenges and obtaining the knowledge for international ministries and church revival. They were also filled with the Holy Spirit by comforting and encouraging one another during the 2nd IMCR Conference. The pastors started to arrive at their lodgings, the Grace and Truth Garden from September 29(Wednesday). After morning orientation on September 22(Friday), they visited our church members' houses to observe the home cell meetings and enjoyed fellowship with one another. Then they listened to top home cell leaders' testimonies and they were deeply touched and challenged.
The official schedule started with an opening ceremony and welcoming party at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After the pastors' entry with their own national flags, the opening ceremony presided by Elder Kwon, permanent committee of International Ministry, was followed by Rev. Jun Orino's prayer, special songs by the Southeast Mission Committee choir and a Pan flute choir called the Corban orchestra, welcoming address by Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho(IMCR Chairman), introduction of pastors according to their countries, introduction of IMCR coordinators, congratulation message by Rev.

YongDo Kim, the general secretary of the Council of Korean Protestant Denominations, thanksgiving message for invitation to the conference by Rev. Andy Gaor, and the benediction by Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho.
After the welcoming party, all the pastors attended the Friday Prayer Service in the sanctuaries of Anyang, Suwon and Ansan cities. Before starting the service, Rev. Jerry Berenguer from Canada testified about the wonderful revival in his church with a changed ministry enthusiasm and spirit-filled ministries for the year since he attended the first IMCR Conference in 1999.
On September 23(Saturday), they observed the Grace and Truth pastors' morning meeting through the simultaneous video link between the sanctuaries of Anyang, Suwon and Ansan. Rev. Yoshinobu Murakami from the Osaka Central Church delivered a special message on the elements of Church Revival.
They also watched a video about the introduction of Grace and Truth Church with laymen's voluntary service activities in every organization according to their talents. There was a question and answer session between Rev. Dr. Yong Mok Cho and the foreign pastors about Rev. Cho's church ministries.
In addition, all the pastors had a time for testimonies and fellowship by introducing their ministry experiences until late in the evening. As a result, they had a gracious time, comforting and encouraging one another.
During the special lecture and fellowship and testimonies, deaconess Kyehee Lee, and elder Keumsan Lee and his wife sang wonderful songs for the pastors.
