Ang Dating Daan’s 34th Anniversary: A Global Celebration of Good Works


The Members Church of God International’s (MCGI) will take part in celebrating its flagship radio-television broadcast Ang Dating Daan’s 34 years on the air. With the theme “Shaping A Nation Zealous of Good Works,”the Ang Dating Daan has lined up various public service activities not only in the Philippines but also abroad.

Bro. Eli, who is the Presiding Minister to MCGI, hosts the program which for years saw its massive impact extend from the Philippines to the South American nations. Originally in Tagalog, the show now caters to its Spanish and Portuguese-speaking constituents.

A Global Celebration

To commemorate the anniversary, Ang Dating Daan, also known as The Old Path, has lined up simultaneous acts of goodwill that is expected to draw participants in the Philippines, as well as MCGI brethren from different cities and countries.
