Complimentary Dining facilities for the Needy
By Emmanuel Padilla and José Luis Estrada Jr.
August 12, 2007
Each year, hundreds of thousands of faithful Christians, tend to the invitation by the Apostle of God, Samuel Joaquin Flores, to the Holiest of Convocations. Many of them attend this calling motivated, solely by their faith, not knowing where they will sleep or what they will eat.
Because of the low monetary resources of some, free dining facilities have been established to alleviate their nutritional needs. The facilities illustrate the care that the Servant of God has for each member, tending not only to their spiritual needs but also to their nutritional welfare.
Close to fifteen-thousand brethren are served high quality, nutritional meals, three times a day, every day, by other members of the Church. Facilities are strategically located for greatest access and convenience of all attendants. Presently, facilities are located in every central locations: Hermosa Provincia (Fundación Elisa A.C., Siloe lot: Mexico, Honduras, USA, Canada, and others), Colonia Bethel (Fundación Elisa A.C.), and Colonia Maestro Aaron Joaquin.
Each dining facility is funded by the Church and supporting internal social organizations. The dining facilities of the Fundacion Elisa A.C. are funded, primarily, by its Director, Eva Garcia de Joaquin who has supplied the foundation’s causes with food and merchandise from her own home. Other facilities are funded by different churches that raise funds throughout the year to be able to provide substantive and nutritious meals during the festivities.
Thus, it is with the utmost liberty that the neediest brethren attend the Holy Convocation, for they know that they will be provided a place to sleep and something to eat throughout their stay in Guadalajara. Such is the care and concern that the Servant of God has for his people.
