Features
The capital city of Colombia, Bogota, sits at an average altitude of 2,625 meters above sea level. It is the fourth highest capital city in the world, following La Paz (Bolivia), Quito (Ecuador), and Thimphu (Bhutan).[1] Home to numerous cultural institutions—including the National University of Colombia, the Gold Museum, and the Botero Museum—Bogota is often referred to as the “Athens of South America.” Since the 2000s, the city has been praised for its successful urban transformation through innovations such as public transportation reform, dedicated bicycle lanes, and the creation of parks.[2][3]
After coming to Zion by accepting God the Father and God the Mother, members of the Church in Bogota have dedicated themselves to preaching the truth of the new covenant, hoping that all citizens may enjoy the blessings it contains. They put the teachings of God the Mother into practice, striving to spread God’s love to family, coworkers, and neighbors—wherever they are, at all times.
Following Christ’s teaching to “be the salt and light of the world,”[4] the members actively participate in community cleanups, helping beautify Bogota, a city that blends tradition with modernity. They collect trash in various areas such as Barrio Santa Rita Street, Boyaca Street, Champion Park, and along the Canal Maranta in Engativa. They also make efforts to save lives through ongoing blood drives. In 2014, the Central Military Hospital sent a letter of appreciation, acknowledging the members’ altruistic spirit and their great contribution to saving the lives of soldiers in need of blood transfusions.[5]
In August 2019, ASEZ WAO, the Church of God’s Young Adult Worker Volunteer Group, visited Bogota from Korea and joined with local members to carry out a range of global partnership initiatives. They visited various institutions, including government offices and Kennedy Hospital, to introduce ASEZ WAO’s activities. Public officials, hospital and university representatives expressed support and agreement with the initiatives. ECCI University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ASEZ WAO.[6] In recognition of ASEZ WAO’s contributions to urban development, human rights, and social well-bding, the Bogota City Government awarded ASEZ WAO a certificate of appreciation.[7]
