Two brothers, two Apostles, two pioneers—one was recruited by the US intelligence service, the other was struck by lightning. Wilbert Vovak and Ernest Vovak would have marked two significant milestones this week.  

You don’t necessarily need to organise a large-scale campaign to help. Every little bit helps to bring a little relief when disaster strikes. New Apostolic Christians in Venezuela are currently experiencing this firsthand. 

Three days, a range of topics, and hundreds of helping hands: at the Together Conference in Columbus, Ohio, believers from across the United States experienced what unity means.

Faith, fellowship, and new beginnings define the third issue of the community magazine. From Pentecost to new projects and spiritual reflections, this edition has lots to offer.

Big impact from second-hand treasures: Bonaire’s new thrift store is winning hearts and bringing people and the Church together. 

When congregations in Argentina today celebrate anniversaries, you often hear the names Gantner and Toplisek mentioned. As pioneers, these two friends and Apostles laid historic foundations. In all of this, a special kind of processed cheese and a widow played a decisive role.

First they praised Him to the skies—and then they condemned Him. And today? What about our own attitude towards Jesus? The Chief Apostle calls for self-examination. 

Standing firm, moving forward, and truly understanding why we do what we do: this is how growth can be sparked that feeds on itself, spreading from the inside out.

Jesus Christ has triumphed, and yet evil continues to have an influence. The Chief Apostle explains why and how a clear “no” can help in the fight against evil. 

It is now up to him to make the right decisions: Herman Ernst, the new District Apostle of South America. The Chief Apostle explained how this is done during the appointment.

The new edition of community takes readers on a journey through the diversity of the New Apostolic world—from a new e-learning platform to a New Apostolic television station to the topic of pastoral care. 

He listens. He lives what he believes. And he speaks the language of love. What follows is a tribute to District Apostle Minio from South America, who will retire this Sunday after forty years as a minister. 

There are many voices around us. They are loud, powerful, and persuasive, and they all seem to come from God. But which one speaks the truth? A discerning faith and Christ as our model and guide can help us discern the word of God. 

“Nuestros himnos” (Our hymns) was the title of a memorable concert held in Argentina in 2023. Among the anthems sung was “Cuántas horas hermosas aquí yo viví” (How many wonderful hours I have spent here), a heartfelt tribute to God’s fatherly love and protective care.

No one receives more in heaven than others simply because they hold a ministry. Eternal fellowship with Christ is the greatest gift a person can receive, says Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider.

Today, we honour Norberto Rubén Batista, who would have turned 75 on 12 March. Loved across South America, he left a lasting mark despite serving only two years as District Apostle.

“Don’t be afraid. Just believe!” The New Apostolic Church Canada presented the design of its logo illustrating the 2026 motto not with an explanatory video, but with a musical declaration of faith.

This specific door changed everything. A good fifty years ago, it was the New Apostolic Church’s gateway to Panama, the country that the Chief Apostle is now visiting again.
