A leadership personality with his own unique profile: that was District Apostle Ernst Hermann Graf. He passed away recently at the age of 95. Following is a look back on his life.  

Fifty years ago, the New Apostolic Church took root in Pakistan. Chief Apostle Helge Mutschler will be visiting the country this weekend.

Two brothers, two Apostles, two pioneers—one was recruited by the US intelligence service, the other was struck by lightning. Wilbert Vovak and Ernest Vovak would have marked two significant milestones this week.  

Some things in the gospels are not readily understood. After all, two thousand years lie between their world and ours. A new series takes a closer look: at people and powers, at customs and traditions.

The Petrine office: this is the term used to describe the specific mission of the Chief Apostle. In the following lines, the actual bearer of this office explains its origin and significance.

His legacy to the New Apostolic Church includes a historical self-portrait and some cultural peculiarities: eighty years ago, on 25 October, Karl Weinmann was ordained an Apostle.

Figuring out the correct dates of his life is a challenge. But then the pioneers of those days had more important things to do than writing down numbers for posterity. What matters is the spiritual legacy: Apostle George Henwood Mkandawire would have celebrated his 125th birthday these days.

Even his opponents called him an Apostle of love: eighty years ago, District Apostle Jan Jochems from the Netherlands retired—following years of tension. 

God wants to help all human beings, both the living and the dead. This conviction is confirmed by the biblical motif of Christ’s descent into the realm of the dead—and corroborates the New Apostolic concept of the departed.

Gravestones tell stories, but not always the right ones. This can even upend an anniversary feature, like the one about Apostle Menkhoff and his birthday—a historical detective story.

When congregations in Argentina today celebrate anniversaries, you often hear the names Gantner and Toplisek mentioned. As pioneers, these two friends and Apostles laid historic foundations. In all of this, a special kind of processed cheese and a widow played a decisive role.

Is Tafelsig, the congregation hosting the 2026 Pentecost service, the largest New Apostolic church in the world? The answer is not entirely straightforward, as it depends on how one counts.

From pivotal moments in church history to musical highlights and major transitions, the Silvertown congregation has long been—and remains—a centre of New Apostolic life in South Africa. 

As the host of this Pentecost celebration, the Regional Church of Southern Africa looks back on a journey marked by faith, steady growth, and enduring solidarity—from its first mission to the Regional Church that it is today. 

He was not Angola’s most prominent Apostle. Yet he made what had been entrusted to him flourish—and did so unseen. Fernando Muliata would have turned 75 today.

Today, we honour Norberto Rubén Batista, who would have turned 75 on 12 March. Loved across South America, he left a lasting mark despite serving only two years as District Apostle.

The countdown to Easter began this week. Many Christians are preparing for it by fasting. Read about what Jesus really wanted and what our hearts, hands, and brain can learn now.

He became the vital link in the reunification of the two New Apostolic sister churches in Indonesia: Apostle Martasudarma, who passed away fifty years ago.
