…I am there with them. This is what Jesus promises all those who take part in a divine service—whether online or in person in their congregation. “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” This Bible verse from Matthew 18: 20 was often cited […]

A church? Well, it was rather two centres with very different cultures. One man brought the two ends together and laid many additional foundations.

Our 2022 motto “Together in Christ” comes with lots of learning objectives. District Apostle Kububa Soko from Zambia took a deep look at its contents and shares his insights with us.

Fluctuating case numbers and adapting to changing Covid-19 measures are challenging people everywhere. But there is a comforting constant in all of this—our online and dial-in services.

Clarify things between the two of you, just you and God, openly and honestly without any go-betweens. You will find what you have lost.

During the pandemic, they have proven themselves to be a reliable offer: the central online services in the various time zones and countries.

A 34-year-old man from Bosnia speaks 73 languages, a language service agency claims. But even with such an amazing talent one could not communicate with all the people in Papua New Guinea.

It began with positive steps towards one another that developed into a common path forward. Much has happened since the ecumenical work of the New Apostolic Church started 22 years ago.

It is a beautiful picture: Jesus is sitting at the table with His disciples and passes the cup to His neighbour, who passes it on to his neighbour, and so on until all have drunk from it. For District Apostle Mark Woll from Canada this is a concrete idea that is connected to our motto […]

Life is followed by death. Jesus reversed this equation. A few days after His death, He came back alive. An apparent defeat became a victory.
