Bro. Gilbert Loreto, 33, Former Born Again Member, Bulacan Province
On Joining the Church of God
I want to have a new life, and for my sins to be cleansed. I’m now ready to serve the Lord. I’m prepared already.
My neighbor invited me to a Bible Exposition at first. He just told me to listen to the topics, and I found it okay.
Everything was taken from the Bible. And that’s when I learned that if it comes from the Bible, you’ll see that there are the Lord’s commandments in it.
It’s different here than in my previous religion. I was a Born Again member and also got baptized in the Mormons’ religion.
Our neighbor told me to just continue listening, and that it would be better if I would be able to listen to the doctrines. Then, I decided that I was ready to become a member of the Church of God, of The Old Path.
On Being Baptized
It felt nice. I felt that it was easy for me to have mercy on others. Also, I was able to discontinue with my vices. Many bad things were gone away from me. It feels so light inside. I’m elated. It’s like I have this new life.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
Bro. Eli preaches well. He is truthful because what he teaches is from the Bible. He knows a lot and is so wise, because it is God who gave his knowledge.

Sis. Elaine and Elaisa Garcia, 16 and 15, Former KNCs, Laguna Province
On Joining the Church of God
Sis. Elaine: I want to obey God’s commandments, especially because we have our parents supporting us.
Sis. Elaisa: I want to obey the commandments of God.
Sis. Elaine: The lessons from the doctrines are in the Bible and are true. So thanks be to God.
Sis. Elaisa: Our parents are members of the Church. Ever since we were kids, my parents had always brought us to Church services. That’s why we went to the KNC [Kawan ng Cordero or Flock of Lambs] where we listened to Bro. Eli until we grew up.
On Being Baptized
Sis. Elaine: I was crying because of sheer joy. I was elated. It feels so light inside.
Sis. Eliza: I’m happy. I felt light.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
Sis. Elaine: Bro. Eli, I hope that I will get to see you personally, God willing.
Sis. Elaisa: May God keep you and I hope you will have more strength.

Sis. Lilibeth Magadia, 23, Former Catholic, Laguna Province
On Joining the Church of God
I love the teachings. Also, before my day comes, I want to have done something worthwhile in my life.
While surfing channels on television before, I was able to listen [to Bro. Eli]. I don’t recall what channel it was as it was since a long time ago already.
But it was in the recent Bible Exposition that I got to listen to it more intently, and it continued from then on.
I felt very welcomed [at the locale]. Actually, I’ve long been wanting to know someone who can make me understand what is in the Bible. And now I have.
On Being Baptized
I’m a new me. I feel like someone new.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
I wish you long lives that many more people’s hearts will be enlightened.

Sis. Lourdes Icban, 21, Former KNC, Pampanga Province
On Joining the Church of God
I wanted to join already. I was also moved by the songs of Bro. Daniel; I got encouraged by them, and also by the songs of Bro. Eli.
I was a KNC before as well; only, I wasn’t able to continue listening to the teachings. So now, with God’s mercy, I decided to pursue this.
When I was in Grade 4 or 5, I was in the KNC. I wasn’t able to listen for a long time. I guess, because also of my youth and vices here and there.
Lately, I’ve been pondering about it, and as I said, I got encouraged by the songs of Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel. That’s why I became a member this day.
On Being Baptized
I was crying. After I got immersed, I felt okay already.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
I hope that they will be able to encourage many more to join and be members here.
