Why do we pray the way we pray? And isn’t it irrelevant what posture we take when we pray? Whether we pray standing, sitting, or lying down, or have our hands folded or our arms wide open—does it really matter? Well, this much is clear, sometimes a gesture or a posture is worth a thousand […]

Jesus taught the gospel with authority. He passed this mission on to His Apostles and told them to teach all people in the world. This is what the Chief Apostle does regularly. Just recently He was in Rwanda and preached about the gospel of Jesus and how it can be implemented. Photo: NAC Rwanda Photo: […]

It has been on its way since October 2023 and has just arrived everywhere.

A trumpet player blowing his trumpet—a picture like any other. Nothing unusual, but there is a special story behind this photo.

Prayer works around the globe. New Apostolic congregations all over the world are thinking about and working with the 2024 motto.

Easter is coming up … and the divine services in March point the way there. There will be talk about mercy and solidarity, fellowship and the rule of God, and examples and precursors. Here is a glimpse at the Passiontide. God’s mercy reaches into heaven. This well-known declaration of faith from Psalm 57: 10 will […]

For God, it is the individual who counts: every single person. The example of the Ethiopian treasurer shows on whom, how, and why God bestows His salvation. Here are some extracts from a divine service for the departed.

Sacraments are dispensed, large churches are filled with young people, and donations are able to effect great things—the news pages of the New Apostolic congregations around the world were once again filled with good news that needs to be told.

The hand of God is powerful: it creates, it protects, and it provides. Those who so desire can remain in and at the hand of God, no matter what. It was in last New Year’s Eve service that the Chief Apostle explained exactly how this works, and what one must do in order for this […]

You can’t help but notice it: Argentina’s Eldorado Km 9 church is located high above the city and features a unique mixture of various styles and time periods. Built by the members themselves, it has always been a mighty fortress through the years, and this year it celebrates its 85-year anniversary. Un concierto para el […]

It would be a shame to waste a good excuse to celebrate, whether due to a Chief Apostle visit, the dedication of new place of worship, or simply an opportunity to be together. In any event, our brothers and sisters around the world had good reason for collective merriment over the past weeks. Photo: NAC […]

There are many similarities between the believers today and Mary, the mother of Jesus, back then, the Chief Apostle says. The point here is faith, trust, and patience as well as powerful people who fall and rich people who come away empty-handed.

Prayer has always been an important part of our life, but this year it became just a little bit more so thanks to our motto. Brothers and sisters from Ghana, Germany, and the Netherlands used this year’s annual motto “Prayer works!” as an opportunity to put on a short play and to gather with other […]

The goal of all Christians is to be ready when Jesus returns to take His own to Himself. Apostle Peter once wrote that one needs to be spotless and blameless for this. What exactly this means the Chief Apostle explained in a divine service. Photo: NAC Southern Africa Photo: NAC Southern Africa Photo: NAC Southern […]

Those who believe talk and share. They talk to God and they talk to other people about their faith. The divine services in the month of February examine our devotion to God. The month will be about profession, praise, gratitude, and intercession. Because prayer works! Faith is a gift of God. Those who have been […]

Failure, ingratitude, and exhaustion are things that can cause us to slip—even in our life of faith. ‌In a divine service for ministers, the Chief Apostle offered a psalm full of encouragement and inspiration that really applies to all of us.

When cultures clash. Do Africans have to become more European or Europeans more African? Do those who are more conservative have to become more progressive? Or the other way around? The answer can be found in the Bible. At the beginning of each District Apostle Meeting, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider addresses the District Apostles and […]

He would have been eighty years old today. District Apostle Alfons Tansahtikno did a lot of good in the district of Indonesia and was able to spread the faith, braving difficult conditions.
