Don’t just plow ahead. A quick thank you will just not do. District Apostle Wolfgang Nadolny (Berlin-Brandenburg in Germany) advises us to carefully think about how we can praise God.

Working with heart, soul, and mind: discussions by the District Apostle Meeting were on the agenda for day two and three of the 2017 Pentecost council in Austria.

For the first time this year, the District Apostles and their assistants will meet for a conference. This time, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider has invited them to Vienna (Austria). The focus will be on the New Apostolic conception of ministry.

The 2017 Pentecost meeting has started. Yesterday, Wednesday, was devoted to welcoming the arrivals. Today the District Apostles will meet and immediately get down to work. Here is the first set of pictures from Vienna (Austria).

How do you declare your love for a city? Johann Schrammel did so by dedicating a marsh to Vienna in 1886. About a quarter of the Austrians live in their capital, but the city welcomes even more tourists each year. What makes this city so fascinating?

Sitting on the couch or relaxing on the terrace? — “Go into all the world!” No time to rest! Our ministers make their way all around the world: high up into the mountains, far into the interior of countries, and over vast continents.

Ten satellites and eleven ground stations will make it possible: on Pentecost, the New Apostolic Church around the world will edge closer to one another and form one large congregation. And in the process the central divine service will return to the place of its roots.

Preserving unity is the greatest challenge. With Apostle Edy the Church in South East Asia will receive an energetic Helper.

It all began with a newspaper ad… This year, the New Apostolic Church in Brazil is celebrating its 90th birthday—with a lot of music, a youth convention that transcends borders, and an unusual invitation to all.

Older members take their well-deserved retirement and younger helpers take on responsibility. That is how life is everywhere, even in New Apostolic congregations.

District Apostle Joseph Opemba Ekhuya is fascinated by the wisdom of God and its potential. Food for thought from East Africa with references to a king, a pilot, and eagles.

The places where ministers sanctify themselves, have discussions, and engage in training can be very different. And it is definitely not always on a Sunday that they get together.

When Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider sets off for the South East Asian part of the world this Wednesday, there will be some drastic changes in store for the New Apostolic District Churches in the region. The congregations have been prepared well in advance.

Faith overcomes borders—between countries and cultures, between poor and rich, between hearing and seeing. Following is a bouquet of colourful examples taken right out of New Apostolic life.

Glorifying God as a short-term project? An interesting idea. It would make the task a little less challenging. District Apostle Michael Ehrich (Southern Germany) urges us to do more, however.

A few good ideas, a bit of money, and a hands-on approach—and before long things start rolling: for the individual, for everybody. And sometimes things go a lot quicker and better than hoped for.

The liturgical year is an annual cycle of feasts that focus on Christmas and Easter. The New Apostolic Church also follows the liturgical year. What is this exactly?

Charity begins at home and should not stop inside our own Church. This is an approach that many congregations across the globe practice.
