Missionary Church of The Disciples of Jesus Christ

The Missionary Church of the Disciples of Jesus Christ (Sp.: Iglesia Misionera los Discípulos de Jesucristo)based in Covina, California. The organization's most visible public activity is the solicitation of donations from the public by white-uniformed associates who are stationed outside the exits of various department stores and supermarkets, and other public places. This funding supports ministries to the drug addicted and homeless, as well as general prosletysing and church-building activities. The church has facilities in Covina and in Bell Gardens, as well as other locations.

They are known for wearing white suits with bear patches that read "Missionary Church of the Disciples of Jesus Christ" and they have small badges affixed to their lapels that identify them as affiliated with a registered religious organization that qualifies as a non-profit organization.

Caesar Rivera, is their Chairman, Director, President, Secretary and Treasurer at Missionary Church.

The organization has no record of any donations.

The organization has been accused of being a cult.

In October 2005, the city of Pasco, WA revoked the church's permit for a missionary training center and closed the Lewis Street facility.

Missionary Church of the Disciples of Jesus Christ is not at all transparent, does not have any record nationally explaining how its funds are used, has no record of giving grants to local food banks and whose entire track record as a religion seems to be confined to doing the necessary legal paperwork and then mimicking a religion in all the methods open to bodies of worship to fund their operations but absolutely none of the operations to do any helping, preaching or even basic worshiping.
