MCGI’s Seven-Session Mass Indoctrination Set on February 8 February 2, 2010

PAMPANGA, Philippines – A seven-session Mass Indoctrination will be held by the Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path) program host, Bro. Eliseo Soriano come February 8, 2010 (PHT) at all Members Church of God International coordinating centers in the Philippines.

“Our Bible Expositions in different parts of our country [the Philippines] and in different parts of the world are what necessitated us to also hold Mass Indoctrinations,” said the MCGI Presiding Minister in his video invitation on Youtube.

He stressed that mass indoctrinations are really intended for those who attend Bible Expositions and listen to the preacher’s TV, radio and Internet programs. He added that these people “ask us how they can be members of this organization, the Church of God International.”

  The completion of indoctrination sessions is required before a person receives baptism and becomes a member of the Church.
“This happens when you have received the doctrines that the Lord Jesus Christ teaches in its entirety. So this mass indoctrination is the instruction of the entire doctrines of the Lord Jesus, the commandments that must be fulfilled for a person to be a true Christian,” the award-winning television host further said in the video message.
“I hope that you will give time and accept our invitation, our fellowmen, and may God bless you.”
Bible Expositions are held at least semiweekly worldwide via the Internet at MCGI chapters and vast venues like the Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines and in hotels.
It is in these events where people get to ask Bro. Eli on faith and spirituality live, while he reads to them the answers straight from passages of the Holy Scriptures. Hence, the program’s slogan, “Ask Bro. Eli, the Bible Will Answer”.

MCGI Breaks Blood-Donation Record in Half Time June 18, 2011

Manila, Philippines — Two days before Blood Donors’ Day this year, Members Church of God International (MCGI) donated 2,601 blood bags to the Philippine National Red Cross, just 52 units short of its 2009 record where the latter awarded the organization for its outstanding contribution.
The World Health Organization and partners anually hold the World Blood Donors’ Day every June 14th. This blood donating campaign is aimed at raising awareness of the need for safe blood and to give thanks to voluntary unpaid blood donors for their gifts of blood.

As donating blood requires a three-month period in between donations, this year, MCGI goes full-throttle by making its blood drive quarterly.

Fifty-four MCGI chapters nationwide opened its doors for the undertaking with one holding its blood donation drive on June 9; in total, MCGI has given 2,637 units of blood this year. This is the second time that MCGI has held a mass bloodletting event across the country for 2011. Their initial effort on March 13 produced 1,900 units, that is approximately 1,186 liters of blood.

While science and technology struggle to find a substitute for human blood, the need for it is increasing and urgent. In fact, dengue and other blood-related cases that need transfusion of blood have alarmingly increased this year, according to a report published on the Philippine Red Cross website.

The event is made possible with the help of the Philippine National Red Cross, its volunteers, and the Kamanggagawa Foundation Inc.

This public service of MCGI started more than a decade ago, when its presiding ministers Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon formed the Blood Donors’ Society: the group that campaigns blood-donation within the Church. Since then, MCGI has proven to be a committed partner of the Philippine Red Cross in providing reliable blood to the masses.

MCGI’s next nationwide mass blood drive is expected in September.

Worldwide Synchronized Prayers for MCGI Starts

Beginning March 6 this year, at 10 p.m. (Philippine time), the whole congregation of the Members Church of God International will begin a worldwide synchronized prayer time with a live feed emanating from Pampanga, Philippines.
Members of the Church of God are found in all six continents.
Worship centers nationwide and overseas will participate in the ceremony through satellite or by accessing the link that the MCGI Broadcast Department provides.
Through the worldwide community prayer, Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon encourage all to live a prayerful life. “Prayer is our weapon against the evils in this world,” said Bro. Eli.
Prayer is a basic doctrine in the Members Church of God International. All Church gatherings, either spiritual or socio-civic, begin and end with prayers.
The doctrine on prayer may be heard and learned in the two-week indoctrination process. Today, a new set of indoctrination sessions starts in all Ang Dating Daan or MCGI coordinating centers nationwide; sessions begin at seven in the evening.

MCGI Announces Third Quarter Thanksgiving Schedules August 11, 2010

The Members Church of God International (MCGI) will hold its third quarter International Thanksgiving this year on September 3 to 5, 2010, with the ADD Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga as its main base.
Bro. Eli Soriano, the Presiding Minister of MCGI, recently announced the dates for the three-day International Thanksgiving, in response to inquiries of members from chapters worldwide.
It has been customary for the congregants to ask for the next thanksgiving calendar right after the previous grand assembly. This way, members can right away allow themselves full physical and spiritual preparation before the upcoming event.

Among the most-anticipated part of the International Thanskgiving is Bro. Eli Soriano’s deep discussion of topics about the mysteries and wisdom of the Bible. For years this segment has not only awed the members, but has also enlightened and captured the interest of visitors. Some visitors are eventually led to a more in-depth study of the Scriptures and become members.
MCGI considers the International Thanksgiving as an opportunity to see their fellow brethren from distant regions, continue doing good works, offer thanksgiving, and reflect on the new and interesting topics prepared by Bro. Eli Soriano.
Every Saturday, Philippine time, the Church conducts regular thanksgiving services. This practice had been the trademark of the organization, and by far, is the only religious group which frequently offers thanksgiving to God.
