They are the newcomers to the District Apostle Meeting: assistants today and Church leaders tomorrow. It is time to get to know them better. Today we meet District Apostle Helper Herman Ernst from South America.

Many contributed to the development of the Church by preaching or doing soul care, but Apostle John Erb also laid the legal foundations for the New Apostolic Church in the United States. John Erb was born 150 years ago to the day. He had his share of ups and downs in life.

It was a sign that even the disciples did not understand. And its message still resonates today. Here is the story of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, explained by the Chief Apostle.

No one is immune to it. Everyone who takes on a ministry or a task in the Church appreciates some kind of gratitude or recognition. But when positive reactions fail to materialise, the only true motivation becomes apparent.

What it means to really trust in God and how this characterises a Christian life was described in a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

We are supposed to serve the Lord with gladness. But how? The answer is clear: those who serve God have reason to be glad— and not only at some point down the line, but here and now.

Sometimes in life it is as though we have been thrown into a fiery furnace. Life can be hard, and it is certainly tempting to take an easier path. But such paths lead away from God. Let us follow the example of three young men.

At least three major tasks await Herman Ernst, the new District Apostle Helper for South America. The Chief Apostle outlined the main points during the official assignment. 

Faith, fellowship, and Caribbean vibes: In Jamaica, the New Apostolic Church brings people together with heart, commitment, and an extra dose of love.

It has been five years since Covid closed our churches. This clip was recorded during the pandemic, but its message is still as relevant as ever—and it motivates.

Eager, tenacious, happy. This is how Herman Ernst Guigou described himself after his ordination as an Apostle. This weekend he is to be assigned as a District Apostle Helper for the New Apostolic Church South America. 

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.

‌It is one of the longest countries in the world, but the visit will be rather short. The Chief Apostle is travelling to Chile this week, to the city where the New Apostolic faith first took a foothold in the country. 

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!”

This was the beginning of a faith dialogue with young people. But the opening question was a tough one, and the Chief Apostle simply switched roles during the interview.

The visit of the District Apostle, a special meeting, 50 years of fellowship—there are so many reasons to celebrate. And it is not only at Christmas that brothers and sisters in faith on every continent come together to rejoice with one another.

Why faith in Christ is the key to overcoming fears and finding inner peace – a message full of comfort and hope.

Inevitably, everyone is part of the problem. But everyone can also be part of the solution—if they so desire. All you have to do is get to the root of the problem and God will do the rest.
