Apostle João Uanuque Misselo has been the resident District Apostle Helper in Angola since February. In an interview, together with District Apostle Rainer Storck, he gives insights into the country, its history, and the lives of the New Apostolic people there.

For many years, “A bond of love around the globe” was used as title for news in the New Apostolic world. Love is still the operative word today. New Apostolic relief organizations around the world fight to alleviate the consequences of natural disasters and in some regions specially trained brothers and sisters help their fellow members cope with grief.

Kitchener Central is the name of the church where Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider will conduct a divine service in Canada this weekend. The building is relatively unique in the New Apostolic architectural landscape – and conceals historical backgrounds that are not obvious at first glance.

The most recent District Apostle Meeting came to its conclusion with a festive divine service. And it was precisely this work that had been accomplished over the previous days that Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider chose as his main focus. He sees this as a guideline for making the right decisions—even for our members in general.

The most important periodical for the leaders of the New Apostolic Church is the Divine Service Guide. It serves to help the ministers around the world prepare for the divine services. What is the most important language? English, German, or another language? Answers to this were given at the most recent District Apostle Meeting.

A new variant of the Catechism of the New Apostolic Church is scheduled to appear in September 2015. This resolution was passed by the District Apostle Meeting at its most recent session. The reference work has been structured into "Questions and Answers" and is scheduled for publication in five languages to start.

Some people grow with the tasks they are assigned. And sometimes an entrusted assignment grows under the activity of a particular person. One of these people was District Apostle Hermann Dietrich Magney. He was born 140 years ago today.

Those who live through suffering and need will often see this as a test permitted by God. "But God does not need to test us in order to measure our faith or our love," emphasized Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider, "So why these tests?"

"It is the same everywhere—only completely different." That is how Chief Apostle Hans Urwyler described our common faith in the gospel in the context of the very different living conditions that prevail from country to country. This week, nac.today will also take a look around the globe.

What moves through the heart of the longest-serving Apostle as he looks back over his life—more than half of which he spent in this ministry—just before his retirement? What does he remember when he thinks back on his musical activities and his active missionary work? Answers from an interview with Apostle Rudolf Kainz.

The international leadership of the New Apostolic Church is meeting again at the end of this week in Zurich: how does such a District Apostle Meeting proceed? Who is in attendance? What will be discussed?

Tomorrow, 8 March, is International Women's Day – a celebration that has its roots in the battle for equal rights. Women in the New Apostolic Church cannot exercise a ministry, but they do perform invaluable pastoral work. How does that fit together?

Have you fallen ill? Have you stumbled upon the wrong person in your search for healing? Has the one who can help you asked something unexpected of you? Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider breaks down a biblical account that has a great deal to tell us in the here and now.

"Come over to Macedonia and help us!"—on 8 March 2015, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider likewise heeded this call from Acts 16:9. There he encountered a small, but joyful community with a rich and varied history, and members who often live in bitter poverty.

After 34 years in ministry, the longest serving Apostle currently in ministry will take his retirement: Rudolf Kainz—a man of humbleness as well as clear words, filled with vision and initiative, but above all, well-practised in the love of Jesus—will be discharged from active ministry on 15 March in Schaffhausen.

Joy is meant to be shared. This applies first and foremost to our “joy in Christ”. It is for this reason that nac.today has initiated a participation campaign: get creative and share your joy. The first submissions have already arrived.

Starting tomorrow, the New Apostolic Church in Spain will turn over a new leaf, so to speak. As of 1 March, the brothers and sisters there will be singing from a new hymnal. The new Spanish hymnal originated from a kind of big sister in a different part of the world.

Over the past few weeks, there have been a number of important occasions for which brothers and sisters have come together. Besides divine services and meetings with Christians of other denominations there were sacramental acts and ordinations.
