MILESTONES OF FAITH: MCGI NEW YORK MARKS 26 YEARS WITH THANKSGIVING AND CELEBRATED AS FEATURED STATE IN SERBISYONG KAPATIRAN
From humble beginnings to a glorious harvest of faith, the MCGI Locale of New York celebrated its historic 26th Anniversary in a magnificent gathering of thanksgiving and praise that drew brethren from across the United States and Canada.
The milestone was marked by the presence of Servant-in-Charge Brother Josel Mallari, alongside Assistant Servants-in-Charge Brother Marvin Go and Brother Mon Bernardo, whose visit brought immense spiritual inspiration and encouragement to the brotherhood.
Adding to the week’s historic highlights, MCGI New York was celebrated on Thursday, June 11, 2026 (local time), as the Featured State during the Serbisyong Kapatiran (Brotherly Service) program hosted by the MCGI Overall Servant, Brother Daniel Razon.
Looking back at their journey, pioneer members fondly and tearfully recalled the locale’s infancy in June 2000. In those early days, long before the era of modern streaming and satellite technology, a simple phone patch line served as the precious lifeline that allowed the small batch of New York brethren to tune in and gather for various Church services.
Through a moving and timely video message during SK, Kuya Daniel powerfully urged the brotherhood to remain firmly united, to constantly love one another, and to unswervingly hold on to the true faith and recognition of the Almighty. Inspiring everyone to stay humble yet zealous, he reminded the congregation:
As the Locale of New York steps into its 26th year, the entire brotherhood stands completely united, firm in faith, and forever grateful for the Almighty's endless mercies that have sustained them from the very beginning.
To God be the highest praise, all the honor, and all the glory, forever!
