Each Wednesday morning, Iman “Chipo” Matongo, a political economy major from South Africa, wearing the requisite face mask, makes her way around a kitchen in La Sierra University’s Sierra Vista Chapel, selecting items from a central table piled with fresh and non-perishable food products.
Matongo is among roughly 15 or so La Sierra students who arrive to choose from bags of rice and beans, vegetables, fruit, pasta, cereal, canned goods, and other foods each week. The food pantry, which also provides toiletry items, is organized by the university’s Office of International Student Services, or OISS. It is a donor-supported outreach that has grown substantially since its inception in 2010 with the arrival of OISS director Heidi Weiss-Krumm. For students like Matongo, it offers a safety net from a fall into devastating choices between proper nutrition or necessary textbooks and study resources.
The common thread that ran through the six lectures on day three of the symposium was how God’s people must live at the end of time, as they expectantly wait for the return of their Lord.
