An Unshakable Hope: Kuya Daniel Razon Leads MCGI’S 3rd Quarter Special Thanksgiving of God’s People in South Korea

On October 9, 2026, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) gathered for Day 1 of its 3rd Quarter Special Thanksgiving of God’s People, with South Korea serving as the main venue host venue where MCGI Overall Servant Kuya Daniel Razon led the global quarterly celebration.

Hearts overflowed with gratitude and praise through joyful thanksgiving presentations delivered by MCGI Kids and Teens, newly baptized brethren, the MCGI Youth, and delegations from Region 1 and Region 2, NCR District 6, Region 3 and Region 4, and NCR District 2.

Bringing a touch of Korean-inspired warmth to the gathering, brethren in South Korea welcomed Kuya Daniel, Ate Arlene, and the global congregation through the heartful chant “Hananimkke Gamsahamnida” (“Thank You, God”), expressing their deep gratitude to the Almighty and their love for the Church.

In his opening remarks, Kuya Daniel Razon reflected on the Church’s humble beginnings alongside Brother Eli Soriano and Sister Luz Cruz, looking back on the early days of the ministry and how far the work has expanded through God’s grace.

Today, with modern technology opening new avenues for global communication, MCGI continues to reach more people with God’s words and expand its charitable initiatives through MCGI Cares.

The biblical topic provided the congregation with a timely, uplifting reminder: “It is not over until it is over”—until God’s divine purpose is fulfilled.

Even amid sorrow and tribulation, the hope He bestows allows the brethren to find joy beyond their present struggles and patiently await His salvation. This hope encourages the brethren to persevere in faith, remain steadfast in their service, and continue doing what pleases God.

As the first day of thanksgiving came to a close, one truth remained at the heart of the gathering: even in times of sorrow, hope in God gives us reason to rejoice.

To God be all the glory forever!
