Learning together and from one another: we make better progress when we work together, even when this involves acquiring new knowledge or abilities. This is an experience that is common to musicians, teachers, South Americans, Central Europeans, or West Africans.

Seeing what is preached, signing what is sung. Sign language makes both language and music tangible—whether in Sunday School or divine service.

The divine service in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on Sunday, 12 August was broadcast on national television. On that occasion, the Chief Apostle preached before an audience of thousands about the significance of Holy Communion.

Stephen kept on going until the bitter end. But whose threshold for pain actually goes that far? Not to worry. It doesn’t have to. After all, it is less a martyr’s death than his life that makes him an example. Following are some references from daily life—for daily life.

Mastering daily life, finding a good job, being successful in life—such are the wishes of our young people in the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, these requests often remain unfulfilled, unfortunately. — Our young brethren in faith are asking for the assistance of God.
