Love, trust, and discipleship: these are the impulses that Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider set for Pentecost from 2014 to 2025—highlights in a video.

“So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel.” Echoing the words of Luke 9: 6, the District Apostles and their assistants set to work on Wednesday. 

He did it again—just like three years ago. Chief Apostle Jean‑Luc Schneider surprised a congregation on Wednesday that had been expecting the visit of a District Apostle instead. Here are the photos from Hanover Park.

The New Apostolic Church is embarking on a historic week: believers from all around the world are turning their attention to the Pentecost celebrations in South Africa—and the ordination of a new Chief Apostle.

Pentecost is just around the corner. Preparations are in the final stages and excitement is building. Here is the second preview video from South Africa.

The resurrection of Jesus is more than a victory over death: it reveals God’s plan to transform human beings so that they can enjoy eternal fellowship with Him.

First they praised Him to the skies—and then they condemned Him. And today? What about our own attitude towards Jesus? The Chief Apostle calls for self-examination. 

Standing firm, moving forward, and truly understanding why we do what we do: this is how growth can be sparked that feeds on itself, spreading from the inside out.

God always has time. He never grows tired, and His intentions are always good. Even when He says no sometimes, it is out of love. A heartfelt message for the children from a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

Jesus Christ has triumphed, and yet evil continues to have an influence. The Chief Apostle explains why and how a clear “no” can help in the fight against evil. 

A new treatment has been found, a hostage is to be released… What does it trigger in people when they know that help is coming? And what does that have to do with faith? Some encouragement from a divine service.

Unloved and forgotten? When life reaches its darkest moments, questions arise. The answer is this: “Do not forget your mission.” The Chief Apostle explains to whom this applies—and why.

Reborn with a new heart and a new spirit in order to be part of a new promise … The Chief Apostle explains what this means. 

God helps at the right time. Modesty, trust, and openness guide us along the way. In a divine service for the departed the Chief Apostle illustrated what this means specifically. 

With less than six weeks to go until the 2026 Pentecost celebrations, excitement is building and preparations are entering an intense phase.

“Listen, my friends, don’t show favouritism.” This is the message the Bible seems to be addressing to us today. At its core, the message is about love. How can we achieve this? The Chief Apostle offers some guidance. 

When exhaustion weakens our faith, God does not give up on us. Instead, He renews our strength and gently leads us forward—step by step. Chief Apostle Schneider explains how.

Salvation is both a gift and a mission. Those who believe in Jesus are urged not only to receive God’s love, but also to pass it on and share it with others.
