 Hilik Bar (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Tourism in Jerusalem)
Mr. Hilik Bar, ministry of Foreign Affairs and Tourism in Jerusalem stated, "I experienced such an amazing power in 2009 Israel United Crusade with Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. The powerful works manifested through Dr. Lee before many people in International Convention Center were awesome. I felt like he was a father of countless people. It was a true blessing to have the great event in Jerusalem. I hope that in the future such events will continue to be held.
What's more amazing is that Dr. Lee's prayer caused it to rain. Israel was gripped by severe drought for a few years. We were short of water because it hadn't rain. The Sea of Galilee was at a very low water level. But God listened to Dr. Lee's prayer and poured down a lot of water upon Jerusalem and Israel. I give thanks to Dr. Lee who prayed for it to happen."
 
Israel has two seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. The dry season is between May and October. The statistics from 2002-2007 showed that for each of those years there had been no rain in September. The people were suffering from the worst drought effects and shortages of water from 2008 to 2009 in particular.
During the 2009 Israel United Crusade on September 6th and 7th, in the midst of the drought, Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed for it to rain in Israel. After the prayer, on September 8, 9, 20, 21, 22, 29, and 30, heavy rain from the Northern area of Israel to the middle part relieved the drought.
Then, local people asked Dr. Lee to pray once again. During Manmin Central Church's Sunday Morning Service on October 4, 2009, he prayed again from Korea for Israel to enjoy abundant rain. Beginning the next day, once again it started to rain here and there in Israel. It became a topic of national conversation. It was reported in the literary media including The Jerusalem Post, the leading Israeli English daily magazine, Call Haire, a Hebrew Newspaper; Haarets, an Internet portal site (haaretz.com); and In Victory (invictory.org) also carried articles.
