Celebrating faith, meeting new people, and exchanging experiences: that was the International Youth Convention in a nutshell. No small wonder then that all of our featured “People of 2019” have some connection to this event …

Twelve months in the year—twelve messages from Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider to the global Church. And all of them published in the church magazine nac.today! Just to help everyone remember them…

The year of reform to the ministerial order: that is how the year 2019 will go down in the history books of the New Apostolic Church. But there is something much more fundamental behind this. And the topic is still current. .

For many people, Christmas is the “feast of feasts”. Nevertheless, there are also many who do not celebrate it, either because they belong to another religion, or because they do not feel like it at the moment and cannot enjoy it. Where do we stand?

Just give thanks again! Right before the celebration of Christmas is a good time to do so. Why? Because Jesus Christ has come into this world and has become Man. He alone (!) is the reason we celebrate Christmas.

Only a few retirements and ordinations have taken place recently in the circle of the Apostles—the past six months comprise a relatively calm half-year characterised by continuity. There are currently 349 active Apostles around the world.

Enjoying divine services, cultivating fellowship, making music, and helping our neighbours—lively and active congregational life can be found on all continents. Join us on a tour through various countries…

“Well, where is your God now?” Scorners are most fond of making these sorts of remarks when things happen to be going badly for believers. But we find the response to this question in a time-honoured psalm. Here is what this hymn of praise has to tell us today.

Desert and sea, wide open spaces and narrow confines, wealth and poverty—this weekend, for the very first time, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider will visit a land of contradictions: Namibia.

Professing our faith—many of us look for suitable opportunities to do this in daily life. Some of our brothers and sisters have found an unusual method.

“This is the first message of Advent: God always keeps what He promises.” Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider illustrated this with a journey through the past, present, and future.

Fellbach, the name rings familiar in New Apostolic circles. Chief Apostle Richard Fehr was both ordained and retired there. And his successor, Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber, was ordained there. On Sunday, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider will visit the congregation.

Is work a curse? On the contrary, it is a divine characteristic in man. What’s more, it also allows divine gifts to grow and prosper. What environmental protection, salvation, and congregational life have to do with each other.

The old church year is over. The new one has begun. The time of Advent is about more than merely singing nice songs, setting up the Christmas tree, and enjoying the fine aromas of the season. The season of waiting is to be a time of action!
