In the heart of Melbourne, a group of university students came together with one mission: to make the city cleaner and safer.

जब यीशु इस पृथ्वी पर आए, तब उन्होंने कहा, “मेरा राज्य इस संसार का नहीं है।” नबी यह भी गवाही देते हैं कि हमारा स्वदेश स्वर्ग है, यह पृथ्वी एक ऐसा स्थान है जहां हम स्वर्ग में पाप करने के बाद अस्थायी रूप से निवास करते हैं, और इस पृथ्वी पर हमारा जीवन एक परदेशी का जीवन है। अब, आइए हम सब परमेश्वर के राज्य का भोजन खाएं, जो नई वाचा है, और स्वर्ग के राज्य के नागरिक बनें जो धर्म के और पवित्रता के कार्यों के माध्यम से विवाह के वस्त्र पहनकर स्वर्गीय विवाह भोज में प्रवेश करते हैं।

On March 23rd, 2025, members from the Church of God in San Diego and Escondido volunteered together for the 8,642nd Worldwide Cleanup Campaign. They joined with the Public Works Office in Imperial Beach to clean and protect the wildlife habitat. The 150 members along with Mayor Paloma Aguirre, Officer Wbaldo Arellano, and the Imperial Beach Parks and Rec gathered at the Bayshore Bikeway that runs along the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The goal for the clean up consisted of beautifying the Imperial Beach Bikeway area. They removed invasive plants and brush within 80 cubit yards, and picked up trash and debris in the surrounding areas. The efforts of the San Diego volunteers were essential and made a significant impact on their environment. The clean up supports the Blue Carbon Initiative and they aimed to improve the air quality and restore the habitat for the existing plant and animal species. The Bayshore Bikeway is a beloved location by local neighbors and is a protected wildlife habitat. The city of Imperial Beach works to maintain it for the benefit of the local wildlife. Also they do their best to beautify the area as it is a high traffic area for residents and bicyclists. The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge is home to beautiful wildlife in San Diego Bay. There is a diversity of endangered, threatened, migratory and native species that needs to be safeguarded. Through the event, the members of the Church of God worked together to remove invasive plants that threaten the native species. They were able to collect 10 tons worth of invasive plants and trash. The overall mood of the residents improved as they saw them actively involved in beautifying their community. The Imperial Beach Bayshore Bikeway clean up was highlighted and aired on Fox 5 San Diego. Mayor Aguirre expressed her thanks to the volunteers for continuing to help beautify Imperial Beach. She stated that she will “come out next time and put in elbow grease” with the members too. The Imperial Beach Environmental Officer, Wbaldo Arellano, expressed how the volunteers took care of a large area in such a short period of time. He explained that due to the lack of staff it is difficult to maintain the area. He appreciated the assistance from the members and mentioned that he looks forward to working with us again in the future. The Church of God will continue to support environmental projects that benefit our neighbors in the future. 0:05 – Opening 0:39 – Imperial Beach Cleanup 2:32 – Imperial Beach Officials and Residents Statements 4:35 – We Love You!

इस युग में जब हर चीज AI से प्रतिस्थापित हो रही है, एकमात्र चीज जो नहीं बदलती वह है स्वर्ग ऐसे युग में जब AI मानव श्रम की जगह ले रही है, मनुष्य धीरे-धीरे अपना स्थान खोते जा रहे हैं। ऐसे युग में जब चिकित्सा, राष्ट्रीय रक्षा, शिक्षा और यहां तक ​​कि कला और साहित्य के क्षेत्र भी AI से प्रतिस्थापित किए जा सकते हैं, मानव जाति को अंनत सुखी भविष्य के लिए परमेश्वर के वादों पर विश्वास रखना चाहिए। परमेश्वर की कलीसिया में मनाई जाने वाली नई वाचा स्वर्ग के राज्य के लिए परमेश्वर का वादा है स्वर्ग में वह भविष्य जिसकी समस्त मानवजाति आशा करती है, उस नई वाचा में निहित है जो परमेश्वर ने हमें सिखाई है। पिता परमेश्वर और माता परमेश्वर के इस पृथ्वी पर आत्मा और दुल्हिन के रूप में आने का कारण है कि उन्होंने दुनिया के अंत को पहले ही देख लिया था और वे मानवजाति को एक अंनत सुखी भविष्य देना चाहते थे। मैं तो अन्त की बात आदि से और प्राचीनकाल से उस बात को बताता आया हूँ जो अब तक नहीं हुई। मैं कहता हूँ, ‘मेरी युक्‍ति स्थिर रहेगी और मैं अपनी इच्छा को पूरी करूँगा।’ यशायाह 46:10 जिसने हमें नई वाचा के सेवक होने के योग्य भी किया, शब्द के सेवक नहीं वरन् आत्मा के; क्योंकि शब्द मारता है, पर आत्मा जिलाता है। 2 कुरिन्थियों 3:6
