2026年5月31日，#ASEZ 響應🌊「2026 全球藍碳生態系統保護倡議」，在香港西貢「白水碗」舉辦了海岸淨化活動！🌏 白水碗擁有寧靜的海灣和自然景觀，但垃圾與海洋漂流物卻悄然破壞了這片美麗的海岸。這天，ASEZ的大學生志願服務團以實際行動清理海岸廢棄物，為保護珍貴的「藍碳」生態系統盡一份心力——因為塑膠污染不只影響海洋，更會破壞這些吸收二氧化碳的關鍵濕地與沿海環境。 💡 關於 ASEZ ASEZ 是 “Save the Earth from A to Z” 的縮寫，是由 #上帝的教會世界福音宣教協會的大學生組成的國際志願服務團。成員們懷著如同母親般守護生命的心，致力於推動環境保護與永續發展。 我們相信，即使是小行動，也能帶來大改變！歡迎關注我們，一起為地球的未來努力。💚 On May 31, 2026, ASEZ responded to the 🌊 "#BlueCarbonInitiative 2026" by hosting a coastal cleanup at Pak Shui Wun in Sai Kung, Hong Kong! 🌏 Pak Shui Wun is known for its serene coves and natural beauty, but litter and marine debris have gradually been polluting this precious coastline. On this day, ASEZ university student volunteers took action to clean the shores, protecting vital "Blue Carbon" ecosystems—because plastic pollution doesn't just affect the ocean; it also damages these critical wetlands and coastal environments that absorb carbon dioxide. 💡 About ASEZ ASEZ stands for “Save the Earth from A to Z.” We are an international volunteer service team of university students from the World Mission Society #ChurchofGod. With the heart of a mother who cares for all life, our members are dedicated to promoting environmental protection and sustainable development. We believe that even small actions can create big change! Follow us to support a greener future. 💚

Hemligheten bakom hur kung Asa och kung Josafat av Juda fick Guds välsignelse Kung Asa och kung Josafat höll troget Guds förordningar och lagar, rev ner alla avgudar och styrde sitt folk och sina riken med den orubbliga övertygelsen att allt skulle gå väl så länge de hade Gud. Som ett resultat gav Gud deras nation frid och skänkte dem överflödande välsignelser och härlighet. Vi får inte efterlikna kung Asas och kung Josafats misstag i denna tid Genom historien som finns nedtecknad i Bibeln har Gud visat mänskligheten vägen till att ta emot hans välsignelser. Vi får inte begå synden att vända oss till mäktiga nationer för hjälp och samtidigt underlåta att söka Gud, som Asa gjorde på äldre dagar. Inte heller bör vi slå oss samman med dem som gör det onda eller eftersträva något tillsammans med dem, som Josafat gjorde. För när vi glömmer Gud och sätter vår lit till människorna och omständigheterna omkring oss, drar han tillbaka sina välsignelser från oss. De samlades i Jerusalem i den tredje månaden av kung Asas femtonde regeringsår. Den dagen offrade de 700 tjurar och 7 000 får till HERREN ur det byte de hade fört med sig. Sedan ingick de ett förbund att de skulle söka HERREN, sina fäders Gud, av hela sitt hjärta och sinne. Hela Juda gladde sig över eden, eftersom de hade svurit den av hela sitt hjärta. De sökte Gud ivrigt, och han lät dem finna honom. HERREN lät dem få ro på alla sidor. 2 Krönikeboken 15:10–15

On May, 26th, the World Mission Society Church of God hereinafter referred to as Church of God, held the 1440th Worldwide Blood Drive to give Life through the Love of the Passover. "No matter how advanced medical technology is, blood cannot be artificially created or replaced" (General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol.) The Pretoria Church of God was full of energy with about 130 believers, their families, and neighbors gathered. After an orderly medical examination and blood test, 65 people donated 29,250ml of healthy blood. The South African National Blood Service provided medical staff, blood donation supplies and snacks to help participants donate safely and comfortably. Hleneiwe Lekoniva, Donor Recruiter of the SANBS, expressed her gratitude by saying "It is very important for people to donate blood. Thank you to the church management for the opportunity". As the representative of SANBS, she presented the Certificate of Appreciation to World Mission Society Church of God.

Young volunteers from ASEZ WAO took part in a tree planting initiative in Bethelsdorp, Nelson Mandela Bay, on Sunday, the 10th of May 2026, as part of the organization's global “Mother's Forest” project aimed at addressing climate change. 25 volunteers planted 75 saplings during a 2-hour activity focused on expanding green spaces and promoting environmental sustainability. Volunteers spent the morning digging, planting saplings, covering them with soil and watering the trees. The “Mother's Forest” project led by ASEZ WAO, the young adult worker volunteer group of the World Mission Society Church of God, encourages communities worldwide to respond to climate change through tree planting and the removal of invasive species. According to ASEZ WAO, the initiative is inspired by “a mother's heart” that seeks to protect the earth and future generations. “Protecting the environment begins with small actions such as planting a single tree,” an ASEZ WAO representative said. The initiative received support from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment and Nelson Mandela University, which provided saplings and encouraged the volunteers. Ward 35 Councillor Noeleen Moodley praised the project, saying the trees would benefit residents particularly during summer when additional shade is needed in public spaces. Municipal Horticulturalist Msimelelo Ngcaku also welcomed the initiative and expressed interest in future collaboration with the organization.
