the only thing different, is the

Colegio Ekklesia is a Christian educational institute based in Cali. The
Bolivian evangelist pastor Julio César Ruibal (1953-1995), aka the apostle of
the Andes, and his wife, Ruth Ruibal, established in 1974 in La Paz the Ekklesia
Bolivian Christian Center, today with 23,000 members. They moved in 1978 to Cali,
where they founded the Ekklesia Colombian Christian Center. After the murder of
her husband, Ruth Ruibal succeeded him as the senior pastor of the church.
Colegio Ekklesia, established in 1981, has been approved by the Colombian
government for a curriculum based on Biblical principles and values.

Ministries website
The church and school are named for the Greek word ἐκκλησία, originally the
citizen's assembly in ancient Athens. Its Latin counterpart, "ecclesia", was
used by the early Christians; the word was translated to French ("église"),
Spanish ("església"), Catalan ("església"), Italian ("igreja"), Portuguese ("igreja"),
and Esperanto ("eklezio") to designate both the church as a building and as a
Christian community on a local or global scale.
The flag of Colegio Ekklesia was designed by Laura Cristina Vásquez Ramos,
student in 8th grade in 2006-2007. She won a contest organized by the Student's
Council and validated by the Academic Council. The proposed flags had to account
for the school's philosophy and representative colours: white and wine-red.
The flag is horizontally divided white and wine-red by a thin wavy yellow stripe.
A golden yellow torch stands in the middle of the flag. The name of the
institute, "Colegio Ekklesia" is written in win-red letters in the white stars,
in a slightly arched pattern.
White represents God's holiness and purity. Wine-red represents the blood shed
by Jesus on the cross for salvation. The yellow stripe represents the resources
offered by God.
The torch represents the source of light that anyone shall be for the sake of
mankind, in a life dedicated to God. The torch is fed with oil, the symbol of
the Holy Ghost that revives fire in our heart.
