Understanding God’s word and preaching it correctly, this is what the Chief Apostle spoke about during a divine service for ministers recently. And he also included their wives.

If they are not practising then they are singing. And that with the right amount of talent, hard work, and stunning warmth and friendliness. Follow us as we take you on an excursion over an extended weekend with members of the Cape Town Children Choir.

Preparations for the Pentecost divine service are in full swing. After a good year of planning there remains only a short window of time for this in the end—and there is a good reason.

On site in Frankfurt: the Apostles have assembled from many countries of Europe. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider has invited them for an Apostle Meeting and a Pentecost divine service—a rare celebration.

When the Chief Apostle visits a congregation, he is usually the only Chief Apostle there. Not so in the congregation of Nordheide. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider celebrated the divine service while the retired Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber played the organ—something rare indeed.

Good Friday to Easter — eventful days bursting with emotion. And full of active characters. Victims, culprits, observers—they all contribute to this extraordinary chapter in the history of God's salvation.

Good Friday is a sad day. Or perhaps not? Jesus died so that man might live. Seen in this light, Good Friday is a celebration of the love of God—particularly as it applies to those who must themselves suffer.

Buchholz? Never heard of it? It is a small town just outside of Hamburg in the north of Germany, where the retired Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber lives, who led the New Apostolic Church from 2005 to 2013. And Buchholz is where Chief Apostle Schneider will be on Good Friday: the Chief Apostle will visit the Chief Apostle.

The journey to Kazakhstan had already been scheduled long in advance, but the question as to whether Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider would indeed be allowed to conduct the divine services that had been planned remained open to the very last minute. The reason: strict legal regulations.

This past Sunday, 25 October 2015, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider conducted a divine service in our central church in Buenos Aires in Argentina, in which he placed District Apostle Norberto Passuni into retirement.

From 30 May to 2 June 2019 there will be a remake of the European Youth Day—this time with participants from around the world. “I hope to see many young people from all over the world in Düsseldorf on Ascension 2019,” Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider says.

“We can hardly imagine under what horrible circumstances many people have to live!” the Chief Apostle prayed at the beginning of the District Apostles’ conference in Johannesburg in South Africa. Afterwards there was much to discuss and to decide for the District Apostles.

Two times each year, all District Apostles and District Apostle Helpers of the world come together for a District Apostle Meeting. They debate globally strategic topics that are of significance for the overall leadership of the Church. In October this meeting will take place in Johannesburg in South Africa.

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?

The making of the divine services for 2017 has begun—at least for nearly 30 Apostles from around the world. They are the writers of the Divine Service Guide, which is distributed to nearly 200,000 New Apostolic ministers around the world. The go-ahead was given at a recent authors’ workshop.

The subtitle of the new magazine of the New Apostolic Church says it all: "The New Apostolic Church around the world". After English, French, and Spanish, additional translations are now ready for distribution. The peculiarities of the Arabic edition are especially interesting.

His profession is land surveyor. As leading pastor and shepherd of the New Apostolic Church East Africa, Joseph Opemba Ekhuya now has a large field of activity to see to. Last weekend he was ordained as District Apostle for the region. But there were more ministerial gifts for the region.

"It also happens again and again in our day that things in our lives, in the congregation, do not always go as we would wish." — On Good Friday, Chief Apostle Schneider spoke about failure and victory in affliction, and drew some parallels to our own lives.
