These individuals receive free shelter and food for a period of three months. After that period they decide if they become missionaries and continue their life journey of rehab and relapse prevention through the word and work of God. They are not forced to stay, so they can choose to leave at any time. <br />The church has different informal rehab centers that are shelters designed for women or men. Most of these former drug users stay; some have relapses and leave from time to time. Their rehabilitation is the result of their spiritual transformation through the word and work of God. The donations these individuals collect help to pay for the free shelter and basic needs individuals receive at no cost. <br />The donations also allow the church to open new location at different places within the United States, Latin America, Caribe, and Europe. As any other Christian denomination, spreading the word of God is their primary purpose as well as helping those in need. Most of church members are of Latino decent; there are Whites, Blacks, and individuals from other ethnic groups as well. The flags on the church website represent the members of the church and their countries. <br />Apostol Rolando Gonzales was a faithful man of God who dedicated his life to fulfill Jesus Christ mission. God's communicates through dreams, visions, and even by personally talking to his chosen such as Paul, Moses, and so on. Those shocked by this have no knowledge of the bible's content. <br />The church does not have to be part of any group and is not required by law. The same way California does not require academic institutions to be part of APA. Those are regulations formed by third parties not the law. This is why there are not BBB complaints about this church. This church has a constitutional right to exercise their freedom of religion. <br />Those interested in knowing how much money this church collects should also ask the Catholic church how much money they make through their cash collection during a church service and that multiply by the number of masses in any given year. <br />The information provided here is based on ethnographic research of 20+ duration. Those interested in knowing more can contact me. If you do not have evidence about this church being a scam leave them alone. Your behavior and the behavior of those involved such as John of "all" faiths' James Wellman, and DA David Eyster, Mendocino County, show biases, discrimination, ignorance, and stupidity. 333FPsalm32:10https://www.blogger.com/profile/13667216968894755364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624683.post-2967118338473860192017-09-17T14:44:50.478-07:002017-09-17T14:44:50.478-07:00I just noticed today the DA alert on this church i...I just noticed today the DA alert on this church is no where to be found online. It is the same for my responses to DA for his discriminatory claims using Wellman's statements as the only source to support his claims. DA and Wellman, you are unprofessional and biased. Do not trust the paper cited on this site. They deleted the negative review I made about the DA and Wellman. This is typical of the American press; they clean your online reputation if paid. John where are your references to support your claims? I am not able to find the DA alert anymore. DA, Wellman and you are simply racists! 333FPsalm32:10https://www.blogger.com/profile/13667216968894755364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624683.post-70377673437502400752017-05-21T21:04:52.082-07:002017-05-21T21:04:52.082-07:00......333FPsalm32:10https://www.blogger.com/profile/13667216968894755364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624683.post-28928148215779451052017-05-21T20:53:27.117-07:002017-05-21T20:53:27.117-07:00"I would go so far to say it's a scam&quo..."I would go so far to say it's a scam" plus James Wellman equals cheap science. Or simply another form of a macro culture element attempting to dictate to other religions how they should be, think, and behave. If not, they are less than a religion, so just a scam. This is a legitimate institution! Those who collect donations are the ones in the process of rehabilitation themselves. A big proportion of them are former addicts. Some have been free of drugs and other conditions for years, and others are still in the process of rehab. Other proportion were disengaged individuals that were homeless due to their addictions or simply their disadvantage socioeconomic status. This information is based on a ethnographic research of a 20+ year duration. <br /><br />Reference: <br /><br />TBA/Psalm 51: 6333FPsalm32:10https://www.blogger.com/profile/13667216968894755364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624683.post-31702951765584878932015-11-16T23:30:37.844-08:002015-11-16T23:30:37.844-08:00Hey David.

I wanted to know what she believed, and she continued to repeat that following the 10 commandments was essential (she was very slow to admit to breaking them-and said she kept them all until I explained to her thats impossible unless ur Jesus...etc. then she agreed...) She emphasized giving up worldly possessions, and that there is only one church that Christ will return for. All this is true, but her way of putting it made it seem like a works based religion that felt they were the only ones who interpret the Bible sufficiently and accurately. There is just a check in my spirit about if this girl is being deceived or what. I noticed that they still hold to clean and unclean foods as well, and quote Acts 10:14 as grounds for this. (I believe the passage has more to do with the Gentiles being welcomed into the family of God than what God wants in our diet. Plus, in the end he declares all food clean.) I can't find any studies on this group online, and so I hope to do my own followup with their San Jose pastor soon. I hope to read more about your studies of this "church". Hopefully their hearts are in the right place.pineappleupsidedownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870759846028459567noreply@blogger.com
