So you lead a life in accordance with Jesus' example — and what do you get out of it? You sure aren't spared suffering and need, after all. Is it even worthwhile to be a Christian? "Yes it is!" says the Chief Apostle, and points to the promise of God: the difference will show in the end.

“Peace amidst our earthly fears” is the plea in an old hymn from the New Apostolic choir repertoire. This is the wish of all Christians. Jesus already told His disciples that they would have tribulation in the world, but that they could be of good cheer as long as He was with them. And what about today?

The Church is building a hospital, Apostles are working on growing together, and young people are occupying themselves with the Catechism—here is a look around the world from Africa to Europe to South America.

Helping hand in hand: that is how New Apostolic congregations have been helping refugees for months—most often together with other Christians, initiatives, and organizations. Infrastructural support is also coming increasingly from the Church leadership.

We are to make decisions ourselves instead of asking for signs or leaving them up to the discretion of the ministers! Such was Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider's appeal. Nevertheless, a mature Christian will allow himself to be led by the Holy Spirit. How does that work?

The District Apostle district of Zambia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe hosts an International Women's Day once each year. Actually, the event takes place over several days, namely from Friday to Sunday. So what is it all about?

Three active Apostles in a row have passed away in the past few days on the African continent. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider paid tribute to their commitment to the now grieving congregations.

The fate of the many refugees who are currently travelling in Europe has moved the hearts of New Apostolic Christians around the world. This is demonstrated by the reactions in social networks. But it is not just talk and discussion: concrete help is also being organized.

Doing the will of God: that is the objective of each and every believing Christian. Yet each and every one of us must make personal decisions for ourselves. This was something that Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider made clear recently in Tbilisi in Georgia: “God expects us to be mature children of God.”

On Sunday, 19 April 2015, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider celebrated a divine service in Dodoma, the national capital of Tanzania. On this occasion, he placed District Apostle Shadreck Lubasi into retirement and ordained Joseph Opemba Ekhuya (45) as his successor, and commissioned him to lead the New Apostolic Church East Africa as District Apostle. A few weeks before this change, the two Apostles gave nac.today an interview.

Many millions of people around the world are refugees. Many of them flee their countries for fear of terrorism and out of concern for life and limb. Helping them when they arrive in their new country is an expression of active charity.

Europe and Africa — two different continents, two different cultures. In Europe, the membership numbers of many churches are decreasing, and even New Apostolic congregations are being closed. But the Church is growing in other places.

In our Spotlight series, the District Apostles are asked to express their thoughts on our 2015 motto “Joy in Christ”. This time, it is District Apostle Michael Ehrich’s turn. He is from the south of Germany.

Randolph is the name of the new as well as the old congregation in the state of New York (USA). It is the spiritual home of a group of people who over many years testified of their faith and who, instead of seeing the challenges, kept their focus fixed on the possibilities and the potential. But let us start at the beginning.

Yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning at 3.35 a.m., Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider landed at the international airport in Yerevan, the national capital of Armenia. Over the weekend, he will visit ministers and members in Armenia and Georgia, its neighbour to the north.

Southern Africa is a fascinating region with a rainbow of nations, languages, and many New Apostolic Christians in numerous congregations. Today nac.today reports about two events, one in Lesotho and one in South Africa.

Every tenth person in Zambia is New Apostolic. Such numbers is something that the Hamburg native, Nicole Ide, is not familiar with at home. The New Apostolic sister from northern Germany was in Africa for the first time at Pentecost this year and, together with a cameraman, documented the Pentecost events in Zambia; also for nac.today.
