Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee began Latin American ministry by conducting the Blessing Crusade and Pastors' Conference in Argentina in 1996. He also proclaimed the living God and the Lord Jesus Christ with manifestations of signs, wonders, and powerful works in 2002 Honduras Miracle Healing Crusade and 2004 Peru Healing Crusade.

Since then many churches in Latin America have joined in his ministry as branch and associative churches and the word of life and works of God's power have been provided to them via the broadcasting and publication ministries, which help their spiritual growth.

GCN TV's various programs including Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermons, testimonies of God's power, and high-quality Christian culture have been broadcast continent-wide through many TV channels and broadcasters. There are around 3,000 channels of Enlace that is one of the leading Christian broadcasters for Spanish speaking people; JBN TV (Jesus Broadcasting Network) of Honduras; Channels No. 17 and No. 76 of El Salvador; and Christo Vision TV of Costa Rica. Next, his books in Spanish and Portuguese are also available through publishers like Nueva Vida of USA and Editora Naos of Brazil.

From September 18 to 22, 2012, GCN TV (www.gcntv.org) participated in the 2012 Iberoamerican Confederation of Christian Communicators and Mass Media (COICOM) Exposition held in San Pedro Sula, Honduras in Central America, which is a festival of Christian broadcasters for Spanish-speaking people. Its Opening Ceremony was attended by approximately 9,000 people from 20 countries. The Honduran President, Porfirio Lobo Sosa, was among the prominent figures from various political and religious fields in attendance. Representatives of GCN TV met the President and spoke about Dr. Jaerock Lee's ministry.

Many broadcasters and Christian leaders visited GCN TV's booth and they said as follows: "I still remember well the 2002 Honduras Miracle Healing Crusade led by Dr. Lee" and "I have watched Dr. Lee's sermon programs via Enlace and JBN TV." Pastor Herman Ponce of Ebenezer Church, which hosted the Opening Ceremony, stated that he had been so greatly blessed after receiving Dr. Lee's prayer that he built a new sanctuary and experienced great revival. He also expressed his desire to visit Manmin Central Church to gain knowledge of Dr. Lee's ministry.

GCN TV's booth visitors including Pastor Luis Fernando Solares, President of COICOM showed great interest in the programs produced with HD (High Definition) technology and Dr. Lee's books published in Spanish.

They said, "GCN TV programs are the best in spreading the gospel" and "I received a lot of grace through Dr. Jaerock Lee's books. I believe the books will lead many Honduran souls to the way of salvation."

GCN TV joined COICOM in 2002 and has maintained close relations with Christian broadcasters of Latin America via the annual exposition. In this exposition, GCN TV formed new additional partnerships with 12 TV broadcasters and 11 radio stations.

Those participants who had supported Dr. Jaerock Lee's 2002 Honduras Miracle Healing Crusade said to representatives of GCN TV that they had received blessings. Pastor Misael Argeñal of La Cosecha Church, which Dr. Jaerock Lee had conducted one-day revival meeting after the crusade, expressed his thanks, saying, "Great revival came to Honduran Christian churches after Dr. Jaerock Lee's visit though Catholicism was predominant here. Even our government began to actively support us. My church has completed the construction of the new sanctuary that accommodates approximately 25,000 people, which is the biggest in Latin America. We also actively perform a broadcasting ministry."
