Glorifying God is not something that is done only on the quiet. Singing, dancing, making music together, and telling others about the gospel are other ways of praising and worshipping God. Our brothers and sisters in Africa are leading the way. Join us as we look at three events there.

How far has the organisation of the International Youth Convention 2019 progressed? No one is better informed than Apostle Franz-Wilhelm Otten. He was already involved with the European Youth Day 2009 and is involved this time too.

A gigantic country with a long history and a lot of people between hope and wealth—in terms of area, Russia is the largest country in the world. Its mighty capital is Moscow. The New Apostolic congregation there is comparatively small, but young and active.

Between joy and fear. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been in the grip of war and violence for years. The Chief Apostle knows the fears as well as the hopes and makes a point of addressing these issues twice on his trip there. Join us for part three of Peter Johanning’s travel diary.

A group of Canadians have been busy with a special project: weaving sleeping mats from recycled milk bags.

The Orchestra Néo-Apostolique de Lubumbashi (O.N.A.L.) was established three years ago and has made good use of the time since. The orchestra gave its first public performance on the occasion of the Chief Apostle’s visit on 15 July 2017. And it was a resounding success.

Day of the youth in Suriname, Vacation Bible School on the Philippinesa, and a marathon for a more peaceful world—all that and more is happening in God’s beautiful world.

An appeal of a special kind: Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider is constantly striving to keep an eye on the younger generation of the Church. This was not only part of his Pentecost sermon in Vienna, but also applies to the teaching materials that will be used in the various levels of Church instruction.
