A cookbook, a wheelchair, and a compliant congregation. Together people can achieve so much more. This is what members in South Africa and Nigeria, the Philippines, and France and Germany experienced over the past few weeks.

Why do we pray the way we pray? And isn’t it irrelevant what posture we take when we pray? Whether we pray standing, sitting, or lying down, or have our hands folded or our arms wide open—does it really matter? Well, this much is clear, sometimes a gesture or a posture is worth a thousand words.

Jesus taught the gospel with authority. He passed this mission on to His Apostles and told them to teach all people in the world. This is what the Chief Apostle does regularly. Just recently He was in Rwanda and preached about the gospel of Jesus and how it can be implemented.

It has been on its way since October 2023 and has just arrived everywhere. For the first time in its ninety-year history, the Guide for Ministers is being published on the official website of the New Apostolic Church, nak.org.

A trumpet player blowing his trumpet—a picture like any other. Nothing unusual, but there is a special story behind this photo. It is about two prayers to which God responded in a way that helped everyone involved. After all, prayer works!

Prayer works around the globe. New Apostolic congregations all over the world are thinking about and working with the 2024 motto. The results can be seen and heard everywhere: in children’s services, ecumenical meetings, or meetings for ministers.

Easter is coming up … and the divine services in March point the way there. There will be talk about mercy and solidarity, fellowship and the rule of God, and examples and precursors. Here is a glimpse at the Passiontide.

For God, it is the individual who counts: every single person. The example of the Ethiopian treasurer shows on whom, how, and why God bestows His salvation. Here are some extracts from a divine service for the departed.

The Divine Service Guide is looking for an editor. The job advertisement raises questions. Well, don’t Apostles write the articles? Why is this preaching aid necessary in the first place? And why is it the way it is? nac.today dug a little deeper.

Sacraments are dispensed, large churches are filled with young people, and donations are able to effect great things—the news pages of the New Apostolic congregations around the world were once again filled with good news that needs to be told.

You can’t help but notice it: Argentina’s Eldorado Km 9 church is located high above the city and features a unique mixture of various styles and time periods. Built by the members themselves, it has always been a mighty fortress through the years, and this year it celebrates its 85-year anniversary.

It would be a shame to waste a good excuse to celebrate, whether due to a Chief Apostle visit, the dedication of new place of worship, or simply an opportunity to be together. In any event, our brothers and sisters around the world had good reason for collective merriment over the past weeks.

There are many similarities between the believers today and Mary, the mother of Jesus, back then, the Chief Apostle says. The point here is faith, trust, and patience as well as powerful people who fall and rich people who come away empty-handed.

Tune in for a spiritual impulse … Brothers and sisters in the southern part of Germany can do this on two radio stations. On World Radio Day 2024, one of the programme editors gives us a tour of her day-to-day work.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is not the only place where prayer is by far the best WiFi connection. In his spotlight article on our annual motto, District Apostle Michael Deppner of the DRC explains how we can establish this connection.

Prayer has always been an important part of our life, but this year it became just a little bit more so thanks to our motto. Brothers and sisters from Ghana, Germany, and the Netherlands used this year’s annual motto “Prayer works!” as an opportunity to put on a short play and to gather with other denominations and pray outside our church walls.

The human aktiv Annual Report 2022 has just been published: the aid organisation of the New Apostolic Church Southern Germany invested almost 1.5 million euros in humanitarian projects. This made it possible to provide both relief aid and longer-term aid, especially in African countries.

The goal of all Christians is to be ready when Jesus returns to take His own to Himself. Apostle Peter once wrote that one needs to be spotless and blameless for this. What exactly this means the Chief Apostle explained in a divine service.
