And now, smiles please. No proper District Apostles’ Meeting would be complete without the traditional group photo of the leaders of the New Apostolic Church International. Here is the 2026 Cape Town version.

Cape Town is hosting its fourth New Apostolic Pentecost celebration. Each has had its own unique character and left lasting impressions—inviting a moment of reflection.
