Features
Paraguay is a country located in the heart of South America. Its name is derived from the Paraguay River, which runs through the country from north to south. Stretching approximately 2,100 kilometers, the river originates in the Brazilian Highlands, flows through Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina, and eventually joins the Paraná River. It serves as a major transportation route for cargo vessels. Vast sandbanks resembling beaches line parts of the river, and in its upper basin lies the Pantanal Conservation Area—the world’s largest wetland—spanning regions of Brazil’s Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul states, as well as portions of Bolivia and Paraguay.
Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay, is situated along the Paraguay River and is home to one of the nation’s major trading ports. With its wide river and abundant greenery, the city provides a distinctive natural setting. In this environment, the members of the Church of God in Asunción diligently preach the word of the water of life given by the Spirit and the Bride,[1] sharing the hope of heaven with their neighbors. To preserve the city’s greenery and provide residents with a pleasant living environment, they also carry out environmental cleanup campaigns throughout the city. Their efforts include cleanup and beautification activities along the Boggiani Bike Path[2] and Eusebio Ayala Avenue,[3][4] which have drawn considerable media attention. Local news outlets have reported on the members’ volunteer activities on multiple occasions, helping to raise public awareness and encourage broader community participation.[5][6]
In addition, church members visited a nursing hospital, where they cleaned the interior, swept leaves from the roof, and served warm meals to elderly residents. They also provided joyful experiences through cultural programs that included musical performances, choreographed dances, and New Song presentations. Following the example of Christ, who sacrificed Himself for the salvation of humanity, the members have actively carried out blood drives to save lives and raise awareness about the importance of blood donation. Many citizens, along with church members, have participated in these blood drives, which were organized in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the National Blood Service.
In August 2018, Korean members of ASEZ, the university student volunteer group, together with local church members, met with President Mario Abdo of Paraguay and expressed their commitment to continuing volunteer activities for the benefit of the local community.
