Pentecost is approaching. As inspiration, here is the 2023 Pentecost hit from Cape Town, “Spirit renewed”. The anthem, which thrilled listeners around the world, will also be heard at the Pentecost concert in Wiesbaden this year.

The hosts introduced themselves with the “South African Medley”. The piece was one of the highlights of the  joint concert given in April by the Young People’s Choir of the New Apostolic Church Southern Africa and the Youth Orchestra & Friends from Germany.

The destination was a region that no District Apostle had ever visited before. On the way there, Tshitshi Tshisekedi used every conceivable means of transport. Pictures of a pastoral journey.

The Youth Orchestra & Friends from the New Apostolic Church Western Germany spent ten days in South Africa. The highlight of the trip was the concert with the NAC Young People’s Choir in front of an audience of over 4,500.

When people hear Angola they think of oil and diamonds, beautiful beaches, desert, and jungle. But Angola has so much more to offer. Deeply religious people live there with dreams and hopes for a future.

Even difficult paths can be part of a divine plan as the story of Joseph shows impressively. Those who believe in God’s love learn to recognise the beginnings of new hope even in suffering and guilt.

The friendliness and discipline he encountered in the church is what fascinated him already as a child. And that is exactly what Duncan Burton Mfune stood for as a District Apostle. He passed away yesterday, at the age of 88.

No new churches this year: the New Apostolic Church in the Democratic Republic Congo South-East has decided to suspend its building programme. Instead, the money will be used to invest in Sunday School.  

Those who know they have been set free from sin make a conscious decision to be God’s servant, and this out of love and gratitude. This was the subject of a recent divine service in Kenya.

Faith, love, and hope; and peace, joy, and knowledge—all of these can come to fruition through the word of preaching. But this doesn’t just happen. Here is what every believer can and must do for themselves.

Two hands that come together to form a heart. This is the 2025 logo of the New Apostolic Church Southern Africa. The idea behind it is explained in this short video clip. 

It is the big fanfare before take-off: three hundred young musicians from Germany are preparing for their tour to South Africa with a rehearsal weekend and concert. This is not their first international tour.

God is not there to make life difficult for us. On the contrary, He does more good for us than we realise—sometimes even through trials. Are you wondering how this can work? The Chief Apostle recently shed some light on this question.

Whether under mango trees or in a large church, God dwells among the people. He lives in their hearts and in His congregation. The Chief Apostle recently gave a tour of this dwelling place.

Even though things did look good for a year or two, funds are becoming increasingly scarce for non-profit organisations. For this reason, NAK-karitativ favours a specific type of donation.

The New Apostolic faith is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. There is nothing unclear about that.  But what exactly is the teaching of Jesus? The Chief Apostle names seven aspects and invites us to test ourselves.

Hands and hearts and wonders of nature: these are the most popular symbols in the logos used by the Regional Churches to symbolise our 2025 motto “It’s time to do good!”

There is story of two brothers. The older one was a medical doctor, the younger one a doctor of pharmacy. The older one ran his own hospital as head physician, the younger one his own pharmacy. Both came from Ghana, both were named Kankam, and both were Apostles of the New Apostolic Church.
