Brother Romer Bellecer’s story is a testament to this truth. Once believing his identity left him without purpose, he began searching for meaning in religion. But it wasn’t until he watched a biblical debate featuring Brother Eli Soriano that something was sparked in him—a bold message that directly challenged his doubts and stirred his heart.
Though his former religion had taught him to question what he heard, Brother Romer couldn’t ignore the power and clarity of the Scriptures as taught by Brother Eli Soriano and Brother Daniel Razon. What began as a mission to prove his friends wrong turned into a humbling realization: the truth he once resisted was the very light he needed. Through God’s mercy, he found acceptance, purpose, and the courage to live a life rooted in faith.

In the bustling region of New Jersey, where the pace of life can often feel overwhelming, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) brethren find a steadfast source of peace and hope. In the midst of their daily routines and personal challenges, they hold on to a shared truth: that their ultimate goal is not of this world.
It is this profound belief that makes them captivated by the song “Pangarap ng Puso,” a beautiful song of praise to God composed by the Overall Servant of MCGI, Brother Daniel Razon. The song serves as a powerful reminder that while the world may bring trials, the true purpose of a Christian is to seek salvation and to be with our Father God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
As they sang together on August 24, 2025, their voices blended in a chorus of shared faith and unwavering hope.

MCGI Chapel, Apalit, Pampanga – Thousands of MCGI Youth members flocked to the MCGI Chapel at the ADD Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga, last August 24th, in celebration of the youth’s 40th anniversary. This special gathering served as a joyful preparation for the youth’s upcoming 40th anniversary—a testament to four decades of faith, hope, and love.
Starting as a small group of assembled youth brethren back in 1985, initially known as the Kapisanan ng Kabataan Tungo Kasakdalan, the MCGI Youth has grown over the decades, proving to be the beacon of hope among today’s youth while championing good works and serving our God in many ways possible. Through the years, the MCGI Youth has found itself as the major workforce of the Members Church of God International, making up the bulk of its active members who participate in the Church’s outreach activities to serve Him and the community.
The MCGI Youth’s General Assembly celebrated 40 years of faith, hope, and love. From the highlights of the Youth Department’s early days up to its current endeavors, the MCGI Youth did not let this moment pass by, as over 16,000 youth members attended the said event, with over 219 connected remote venues all over the world.
Truly, the years went by quickly, and generations of youth have come and gone, but one thing remains true: MCGI Youth continues to grow in numbers, and they continue to give praise to our Lord while being of service to humanity.
JEREMIAH 30:19 (KJV)
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
A Memorable Day for the MCGI Youth
The MCGI Youth were greeted by no other than Kuya Daniel Razon, MCGI’s Overall Servant, and the latter was received with a very warm welcome. Kuya Daniel emphasized how grateful the entire organization has been to the efforts of MCGI Youth over the years, stating how he himself was once a youth of the Church. He also claimed that this is a stepping stone for all MCGI Youth to be the example that will also support the next generation of youth who will serve God.
Kuya Daniel went on to share how his own journey as a youth member shaped him into the man he is today. From being one of the pioneers of the Kawan ng Cordero (KNC, now known as MCGI Kids and Teens), to finding his way into being the assistant of the late Brother Eli Soriano – of blessed memory – in his radio and television broadcasts back in the 1980s.
From discussing how the youth should focus on being stewards of God’s works, how the youth should strive to remain in God’s love through charity and good works, Kuya Daniel also sent a heartfelt message to the youth. He showed how he’s glad to see the MCGI Youth come together as one, not just in the celebration of the 40th anniversary, but in faith as well.
“Alam niyo po, hindi masusukat yung kagalakan na aming nararamdaman bilang dating kabataan din na makakita ngayon ng mga kabataang kasangkapan ng katuwiran sa Dios. Kabataang nagpapahayag ng karangalan ng Dios. Kabataang hindi nagpapatangay sa iba’t ibang mga gawa ng sanglibutan. Sa iba’t ibang ligaya na ino-offer ng sanglibutan, na alam naman nating ligayang mayroong katapusan.” said Kuya Daniel.
[You know, we cannot measure the joy that we feel as former youth members, to see today’s youth continue to be of service to God. Youth who continue to bring glory to our God. Youth who don’t conform to the world’s temptations and enjoy temporary happiness as we know it.]
Kuya Daniel went on to emphasize the importance of the youth part of life in dedicating a life spent in good works, as our Lord Jesus Christ set an example in his journey here on Earth. One thing that the MCGI Youth is thankful for is the chance to serve Him in their younger days, as it is temporary, and not all young people choose to live a life under the teachings of God.
Remaining in God’s Love
As written in II Timothy 3:1-5, perilous times shall come. This prophesied that people would be arrogant, ungrateful, stubborn, and would love the pleasures of life more than to love God. Throughout his discussion with the MCGI Youth, Kuya Daniel greatly emphasized how important it is for them to remain in God’s love, not just in their younger days, but for the rest of their lives.
“Kaya kung makakita ka ba ngayon ng grupo ng mga kabataan na maibigin sa Dios, kay sa maibigin sa kalayawan, hindi ka ba magiging proud? Hindi ba masasabi mo, ‘milyong salamat sa Dios?’ Para saan ‘yon mga kapatid? Ito ay sa karangalan ng Dios na tumawag sa atin… Isang bagay ang lulunduan – magsipanatili kayo sa pag-ibig sa Dios o sa takot sa Dios. Sapagkat in the end, kayo rin po ang makikinabang.” Kuya Daniel explained.
[If you could see a group of youth today who love God more than the pleasures of life, wouldn’t you be proud? Wouldn’t you say “a million thanks to God”? What is that for? That is for the glory of the God who called us into his fold. It boils down to one thing – remain in God’s love or in fear of God, because in the end, it is you who will benefit from it all.]
That’s the mission and path that the MCGI Youth is treading right now. To prove that they are a group of youth who love to serve God more, rather than to spend their youth in the pleasures of life and vices. MCGI Youth stands different – the living testament of our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal’s statement “Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan” (the youth is the hope of the nation).
With all the dangers and temptations of this world, the MCGI Youth has stood strong for 40 years, zealous in good works, and serving God and humanity when it matters most. Kuya Daniel hopes that the MCGI Youth of today’s time will remain steadfast in upholding the faith, and keeping to the doctrines that have become the foundation of the youth’s charitable works.
A Gift from Kuya & 40 at 40
To cap off Kuya Daniel’s speech, he announced his latest composition, “Alalahanin”, dedicated to the MCGI Youth. The song tells about how the youth should remain in God’s love, how they should spend their lives as youths in service to God, and to ceaselessly continue praises to Him, similar to the main messages of his earlier discussion. This same song will be used by the MCGI Youth in the upcoming Anniversary Thanksgiving this September 6th.
Kuya Daniel and Ate Arlene Razon also joined in a picture-taking session with the youth members inside the MCGI Chapel, which delighted everyone – definitely a moment worth remembering.
The MCGI Youth also announced the launch of its program “40 at 40”, highlighting 40 community services conducted across the globe, which kicked off with a documentary from the youth members of NCR District 6, where they helped a foster home for children. This initiative by the MCGI Youth will continue throughout the year, and various documentaries featuring various stories of resilience, hope, and humanity will be championed.
One can look back and say that this is a day to remember. The MCGI Youth continues to set an example for all youth to follow – that loving God means being of help to others, and reaching out to those in need. This celebration of 40 years of MCGI Youth’s consistent work will not be possible without God’s help, and there’s definitely more to expect as they will continue to come 40-gether in faith, hope, and love.
Thanks be to God for this wonderful opportunity to serve Him and the community.
From a life of brokenness and addiction, Brother Jun Fortuno’s journey stands as a powerful testament to how God’s grace can make a man whole.
A life once consumed by drugs and alcohol, Brother Jun Fortuno’s turning point came after he struck his wife in a drunken rage. Following the loss of his job in 2000, he sought forgiveness and discovered the “Ang Dating Daan” program. Inspired by his son’s faith, he and his wife were baptized and found peace by joining the Church choir.
Despite facing hardship, including a time when they subsisted on little more than cassava, our MCGI family supported them with food and work, revealing God’s grace in his life. Today, Brother Jun’s home is a place of charity. Serving as a group servant and choir member, his life stands as a testament to how God can make a broken man whole.

Brother Daniel Razon, the Overall Servant of the Members Church of God International (MCGI), celebrated his 40th Sabbath anniversary on November 28, 2023 by providing small-scale livelihood capital to 300 beneficiaries. In MCGI, a Sabbath anniversary commemorates the yearly remembrance of one’s baptism in the Church.
The beneficiaries were MCGI brethren encountering financial difficulties due to calamities and other life challenges. They received cash assistance and goods to establish or sustain their micro-businesses, such as food carts, sari-sari stores, and online selling ventures.
A Divine Obligation to Serve
In an interview regarding his 40th year of service, Brother Daniel, also known as Kuya Daniel, expressed his gratitude to God for calling him into the Church and granting him the opportunity to serve and care for his fellowmen.
“I always want to remind our brothers and sisters to trust in God’s goodness. Whenever we face problems or difficulties, we should pray and ask for God’s mercy and help. We also have a brotherhood that God has given us, and with His help and mercy, we should do our best to serve our brothers and sisters who are in need,” he said.
He also emphasized the essence of true religion, which is to help the oppressed, the orphans, the widows, and those in need, and to show them God’s love.
“Through the Church, we can reveal God’s love and care, especially to our brothers and sisters who will never be forsaken by the Lord. We are valuable to God, even though most of us are poor and uneducated, but God has shown His appreciation to us by calling us into the Church. This is a sign of God’s love for us,” he added.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
James 1:27, King James Version
Grateful Recipients
During the granting event held at the MCGI Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga, some of the recipients couldn’t hide their happiness upon meeting Brother Daniel in person.
Sister Minerva Caiyas was elated when she conversed with Kuya Daniel during the event, stating, “I am extremely joyful because I had the opportunity of meeting Brother Daniel personally on his Sabbath anniversary.” She conveyed her gratitude to God for receiving Kuya Daniel’s grant, enabling her to relaunch her business. “I’m also thankful to God that even though my business folded because of the recent calamity, I am a recipient of Brother Daniel’s grant.”
Another beneficiary, Sister Ramona Cardava, expressed her gratitude to God for Brother Daniel’s generous heart towards his brothers and sisters in faith.
“I thank God for the financial aid and Brother Daniel’s big heart towards the brotherhood. I cannot repay his kindness; all I can do is trust God to reward Kuya Daniel for his love for us.”
The Caralipio couple commended Brother Daniel for consistently reminding the MCGI brethren to support and love each other, much like the late Brother Eli Soriano always did.
“We often hear Brother Daniel say that there are no difficulties within the brotherhood as long as we help one another, just as we always heard from Brother Eli,” the couple said.
God’s Help is Paramount
Brother Daniel acknowledged that his gifts to the brotherhood and his charitable endeavors are limited compared to what God can do. He then encouraged the members of the Church to persist in serving and placing trust in God’s goodness with zeal and unity so that whenever they seek God’s help, He will always do it in the best interest of His servants.
“God is good, and His kindness endures forever. We cannot limit what He can do for us. Therefore, in any situation, we must always seek His help first,” he emphasized.
The livelihood assistance program is among the various charitable initiatives of MCGI led by Brother Daniel, who is also a renowned media personality, singer, songwriter, and public servant. Additionally, he serves as the President and CEO of Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International or BMPI, which operates UNTV News and Rescue, a television network dedicated to public service. UNTV airs the religious programs of MCGI, such as Ang Dating Daan and The Old Path, both hosted by Brother Eli Soriano and Brother Daniel.
