From humanitarian aid and creative youth initiatives to revitalised congregations and the sound of music. Faith in action can be seen all over the world.
The province of Benguela in Angola was hit by a devastating flood in early April 2026. The New Apostolic Church joined the Abraço Solidário Benguela (Solidarity Hug Benguela) campaign in order to provide the best possible emergency relief to the people affected. On 24 April 2026, District Apostle Helper João Misselo, representing the Church, presented various relief supplies.

On 11 April 2026, around forty dusty cars were waiting in the church car park in the town of Recklinghausen, Germany, in need of a good spring clean. The young people had organised a car wash: vacuum the interior, shake out the floor mats, clean the windows, and wipe down the dashboard. After five hours of scrubbing and polishing, the young people had raised a nice amount of money. This will be used to cover travel and accommodation costs for this year’s youth weekend in Frankfurt am Main.

Faith that grows
On 1 March 2026, Apostle Emmanuel Adeyemi and other ministers visited the Molete-Oyebiyi congregation, Nigeria, which had been inactive for the previous ten years. The congregation is located on the outskirts of Ibadan and can only be reached over rough roads. The Apostle conducted a divine service there and ordained two Deacons as Priests. One of them has now taken over the leadership of the revived congregation.

Nnom Nnam is a village in the Mbini district in Equatorial Guinea. About 150 people live in the small village. The New Apostolic faith was introduced to the village in 1989 by Priest Antonio Mba Mikó. Over the following nine years, the number of worshippers grew to 42. The promising growth led to the construction of a church. Over time, the building began to show significant signs of wear and tear, prompting Apostle Salvador Mitogo Obiang to commission the construction of a new church in 2025. On 12 March 2026, the new church was solemnly dedicated by Apostle Oscar K. Nwanza. During this divine service, four more members were sealed.

The church served as a concert hall, allowing children and students from various secondary schools in Klaipėda to give a concert in honour of Mother’s Day.
