Some people run for politics.
Some people run for money.
Some people run for fame.
Some people run for their lives.
People run for different reasons.
But last January 31,2010:
Over 50,500 people have ran and joined the benefit half-marathon led by Mr.Public Service 'Kuya' Daniel Razon to raise funds for the completion of the construction of 10-storey Christian School that will provide FREE Tuition fee, FREE books, FREE uniforms, FREE meal, FREE lodging and allowance to scholars.
Where can you find a 'Christian' School like this?
(Only La Verdad Christian School)
The Isang Araw Lang – Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo (Just One Day – Run for Free College) was held last January 31 at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
Members of Church of God International (aka Ang Dating Daan) joined the half-marathon-for-a-cause with one mission in their minds, to help the less fortunate youths to have FREE education and finish their studies. This lives-changing benefit marathon was spearheaded by Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro Daniel Razon.
MCGI members are well-known as wide-Bible readers with their church presiding minister Bro Eli Soriano as their preacher. Not only these cool church-goers can read the bible, they can also run for the benefit of others. Being a Christian, we should not be confined inside the church or locale only; we should also go outside and think/care about others.
Other church groups maybe too busy in attracting politicians inside their church but the MCGI is serious in inviting all people to think about the welfare of others, to reach out. The FREE Education, books, uniform, meal, lodging and allowance are just part of the on-going free public services by the morning show Good Morning Kuya everyday. FREE Bible, Medicine, Medical Checkup, Legal advice, transient homes, Bus rides and MRT rides are given away for FREE to all our fellowmen.
Other participants of the event were Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Dionisio Santiago, members of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA), and members of several Rotary Club chapters in the Philippines. All of them are also encouraging everyone, specially Filipino youth to stay off drugs. As Bro. Daniel Razon said to the participants "No to drugs. Yes to God!".
Run with us.
Let us help others.
Let us run with a mission.
Let us finish our course.
