BRO. DANIEL SORIANO RAZON, the Vice-Presiding Minister of the Members Church of God International, was born in Bulacan on October 11, 1967 to Bro. Dan Razon and Sis. Beth Soriano Razon. Bro. Daniel grew up with the Bible as his guide mainly because of his uncle, Bro. Eli Soriano, who treated the Razon children as his own. When he was three, Bro. Daniel would recite poems in thanksgiving services held by the church. And when he was 17 years old, Bro. Daniel got baptized in the Church of God.
In his decision making, Bro. Daniel always consulted and heeded the advice of Bro. Eli. Even if he originally intended to be a doctor, he followed his uncle’s advice to study Mass Communications. Even then, Bro. Daniel was already an industrious person, working to support his studies. And on 1987, he reaped the labors of his hard work and received a diploma from the Centro Escolar University of Manila with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications.
Although he was reluctant at first, and Bro. Eli didn’t even ask him to be one, Bro. Daniel soon became a worker in the Church of God. And after a few years, he became the officer-in-charge of the Metro Manila division of the church. It was during this time that Bro. Daniel conceptualized many of the church’s existing organizations for the brethren’s benefit. He is also the brainchild behind the Bible Expositions of Bro. Eli that would break attendance records of the biggest closed venues in the country, including The Araneta Coliseum.
The time soon came that a Vice-Presiding Minister of the church had to be appointed. Although Bro. Eli had the doctrinal right to appoint Bro. Daniel, he chose to let the members decide from some nominated officers-in-charge. But the congregation’s vote was unanimous. Bro. Daniel was elected Vice-Presiding Minister of the Members Church of God International in 1998.
Having been biblically guided by Bro. Eli, Bro. Daniel has become the Mr. Public Service that many have come to know. And, indeed, many of the underprivileged are thankful that a man on television has understood the real meaning of service to the public.
