Interview with Israeli pastor, his ministry around the globe
Pastor Daniel Rozen from Israel told about his life and ministry to a reporter of Christian Telegraph. During the interview he gave a unique feedback about Manmin central church at Seoul, Korea, and its senior pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, who demonstrates a special role of encouragement to pastor Rozen's ministry "Living Stone International Ministries" to preach the Gospel in Israel and around the world.
What can you say about the Message of Holiness?
For the past ten years I boldly preached about holiness and purity to different churches and denominations, for I saw at this present generation a strong need for people to hear this message of the Gospel. God had put a burden in my heart to even write a book on this. As an author of the book entitled "The Call to Holiness" I am privilege that God used the book in changing lives of people. To mention some testimonies; wearing suitable dress for worship, youth stopped piercing and tattoos for they understood it is demonic influence of Satan, they start to live a new clean lifestyle and left behind them the evil world of fashion. A thousand copies of the book in Bulgarian language was sold during my crusade held this year in May, soon it will be printed in Italian and Kazakh.
I witnessed the Holiness Gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour as one of the main pillar teaching of rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. I visited Manmin central church, Korea, for the first time about two years ago, on the very first service I attended I felt a magnificent flow of the Holy Spirit covering the church while worship was going on, glorious presence of God when the senior pastor delivered the word, the purity of hearts, a special flow of unity and love to one another, it was awesome! Holiness Message with unity is key to revival like in Manmin church.
Israel has a multi-cultural and multi-religious society. How does it affect life? What are the main challenges and difficulties?
It is somehow a challenge to live in a society like this but a great privilege to settle in the land of my forefathers and be a part of the fulfillment of prophesies in the Bible. It is still fresh in my mind that year of 1991 there were only three thousand believers in Messiah Yeshua but now, almost twenty years later we reached to twenty three thousand, this is a breakthrough in Israel and for us it's revival now in the land. Regardless of differences true faith in Jesus Christ must prevail for no one can stop the move of God.
September 2009 Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee held a multi-cultural festival in Jerusalem, Israel entitled "God is Great" with the cooperation of Crystal Forum Association. God showed him a vision to minister in Israel, during his ministry for three years countless people received Jesus as their personal Saviour, signs and wonders were seen and healing miracles manifested. Dr. Lee's special love and concern is one of a kind, I am so blessed to know him.
As believers in Yeshua our Messiah in Israel we faced difficulties and challenges like all others such as rejection, persecution from a certain group in society because of our faith, this group of people like in Jesus time who were against the work of God (Sadducees and Pharisees) last year they burned the car of one of our pastors, they make problems to our children at school, some others are verbally threatened, stones are thrown in churches and windows were broken and some other kinds of bad motives and actions. But we've decided not to focus on the problem rather focus on God for solutions on how we can move on and save our children in this new generation, the fire of revival.
Are doors open to preach?
Out of these challenges the unity of 'Crystal Forum Pastors Association' greatly impacted the on going Holy Spirit fire of revival here in Israel that started since of last year within this small community a part of messianic body in Israel. Reaching out the young generation thru youth camps was done three times in this year, crystal music festival, family conferences, pastors and leadership meetings. September 4, 2010 our biggest conference held this year at (ICC) International Convention Centre, Haifa entitled "transformation" with our two anointed guest speakers Bishop Dr. Myeong-ho Cheong ambassador of Africa Manmin church Nairobi, Kenya and pastor Henry Madava of Kiev, Ukraine, Victory Church, of more than two thousand attendance from congregations all over the land of Israel the conference was successfully done. Besides, God dramatically opened doors for us at the government offices, it helps us in accomplishing all these revival events. This was exactly the prophesy of Dr. Lee he said, 'you will do more things than ever before'. Thanks to God. Open doors outside Israel, I travel to China, Hong Kong and Philippines aside from Europe and United States I see great revival people are hungry for the truth and they are saved in Jesus Christ name.
How did Crystal Forum begin?
It started with six pastors including myself two years ago, with the heart’s burning desire for unity. We gathered together and prayed that God would help us through. Our hearts long for more and a question of what does the future hold for our messianic community in Israel? Each one is unique in a way. What can we do now? Our present struggles? As a young pastor to whom to talk with and share my burden? These same questions each of us felt in one way or another and we longed for a body which would stand together at all times. Short while later with prayer and fasting 'Crystal Forum Association' was officially registered as a non profit organization a ladder towards unity. Dr. Jaerock Lee played a special role during his 777 days of ministry in Israel for he visited almost all our congregations; he served and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fatherly love and humility. His compassionate heart touched me personally. We treasured all the helps, sacrifices and efforts he contributed for the expansion of the Kingdom of our God here in the Holy Land, Israel. As director of the association I would like to express my heartfelt thanks first to our almighty father God of sending him to us and to you senior pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee thank you so much. Right now we are increasing In numbers more than twenty pastors united together with the love of Jesus Christ for one purpose expanding the Kingdom of God on earth.
What impact Manmin church done to your life and your ministry?
As Israeli pastor of "Living Stone International Ministries", I am determined to fulfil God's calling in my life to travelling around the world preaching the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for from out of Zion the word of the Lord will go forth, the prophetic apostolic end-time calling of Israel and the nations. I am more encouraged than ever before having Dr. Jaerock Lee my spiritual father who prays and intercedes for me everyday. I gained more revelation knowledge upon reading his books Heaven 1 and 2, Hell, Awaken Israel and many more. I continue boldly preaching to churches holiness and purity without compromise, I trust the Holy Spirit of God to move in a mighty way. I press towards the goal of the mandate God had given to me 'preach the Kingdom of God ' In Jesus Christ name. I know I am not alone, they are praying for me and one of those Is Manmin central church my blessed family.
