===Pre-Broadcast===
{{Main|Eli Soriano}}
Bro. Eli Soriano was baptized on April 7, 1964, at the age of 17. He expressed desire to become a church worker and soon attended ministerial classes under Bro. Nicolas Perez. In 1970s, Soriano began conducting nightly ''pulong'' (gathering) from town-to-town preaching in the province of Pampanga and later realized that his lifetime is not enough to reach the entire Philippines. In the year 1972, Perez handed Soriano the only Church Minister title.<ref name=":0" />
