“Where will you spend eternity?” This question written on a sign had something to do with the beginnings of the New Apostolic Church in Austria. Here is a look at the country that will be hosting this year’s Pentecost celebration.

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?

Not everyone can be so carefree when they partake of Holy Communion: some of the ingredients in the wafers can be harmful for people with certain illnesses. But even here, Germany’s main wafer bakery can provide assistance.

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.

“When I think about Ascension Day, I think about a cloud that slowly makes its way heavenward with the Lord Jesus on top of it,” says fourteen-year-old Michael in Confirmation Class. Fair enough! After all, that is how the Bible describes it.

“I am a natural scientist and a convinced atheist—so what am I doing here? Why is it that I never miss a divine service? How does all of this fit together?”—Katja Krumm from Steinen, Southern Germany tells us about her journey to faith.

The washing of the feet — “a very short story, but one with such rich content,” says Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider before going on to add, “Let us understand this lesson and put it into practice. The blessing will be great!”
