A concert to mark the visit of the Chief Apostle? That’s actually pretty standard for the agenda, just like this weekend in Kinshasa. What is unusual about this concert is where the instrumentalists have learned their handiwork, namely in the Church’s own music school.

A strong will to succeed will help us to secure many individual victories, District Apostle Rüdiger Krause of northern Germany writes in “Spotlight”.

“Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language that they may not understand one another’s speech.” Six thousand languages have developed since then, and everyone speaks at least one of them: their mother tongue.

Victory with Christ. How do we achieve that? District Apostle Mark Woll has found a tried and tested recipe in Romans 12: 21: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Once I was travelling in a non-Christian country and a woman beside me asked me the purpose of my visit. I […]
