Not power, but love and closeness to others: In the first interview, the Chief Apostle Helper shows how he thinks, feels - and believes.

Pentecost 2025, a divine service that will not be easily forgotten. And here are the memories for the photo album.

Knowing the truth and living truthfully: this was the call made by the Chief Apostle and his new assistant during the 2025 Pentecost service in Wiesbaden, Germany.

During the Pentecost service, Chief Apostle Jean Luc-Schneider designated his successor: the assignment of Chief Apostle Helper Helge Mutschler in the video.

Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider intends to retire at Pentecost 2026. He announced this during the Pentecost service in 2025, and also named his successor.

The New Apostolic spotlight is on two German cities this week: the International District Apostle Meeting will convene in Mainz, while the Pentecost service will be broadcast from Wiesbaden to the rest of the world.

The first Sunday in June will take the Chief Apostle to Moscow, the Russian capital. Far removed from day-to-day political events, the leader of the New Apostolic Church International wants to touch and reach the congregations in the country with the good news of salvation in Christ.

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.

“I am thinking of the many brothers and sisters who are in great need today,” the Chief Apostle says. And: “This is the message I would like to share with each and every one of you,” the video ends.

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.

Twenty years ago today, Chief Apostle Richard Fehr handed over the ministry to his successor. In a video interview later, Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber revealed how this came about.

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.

In today’s world people feel almost compelled to share almost every aspect of their lives with everyone else. But isn’t there someone far better to speak to first?  – The video from a divine service with the Chief Apostle.

Called to be a blessing? How is that supposed to work in a world where evil rules and the good seems so weak? In a divine service recently, the Chief Apostle had some answers.

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.

A drone view of a congregation waving? This may not be all that unusual these days, but the story behind it is touching. And the Chief Apostle himself tells the story.

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.
