There are many ways to live open and co-operative partnerships. This goes from extending hospitality to mutual acceptance to working together. And this is demonstrated by congregations and districts right around the world.

There is harmony in diversity. Music can overcome barriers between cultures, religions, and nations. Three examples from the New Apostolic world illustrate this.

Fellowship is something that New Apostolic Christians not only experience in divine service. They often also spend time together outside of church in the circle of the youth, their congregation, or even with the Chief Apostle.

Kalaallit Nunaat, as the island is called in Greenlandic, is full of contrasts: geologically it belongs to North America, politically to Europe. Four-fifths of the country is covered by a massive ice sheet year round. In summer, the coastal areas are green. Apostle Jörg Steinbrenner just loves the country and its people.

Frankfurt, a place steeped in history; a gathering of all European Apostles; a great Pentecost concert; and a large congregation that celebrated a feast of thanksgiving … This is how Pentecost 2016 will be remembered.

If they are not practising then they are singing. And that with the right amount of talent, hard work, and stunning warmth and friendliness. Follow us as we take you on an excursion over an extended weekend with members of the Cape Town Children Choir.

The Pentecost concert in the magnificent Wiesbaden concert hall turned out to be a firework of sound. From old masters to new songs, the audience heard magnificent and exciting works. We captured some moving moments on camera.

“Great! Outstanding! Wonderful voices! A fantastic programme!”—such were the unanimous reactions to the evening’s musical programme. Pentecost concerts are legendary. The special thing about this year was a children’s choir from Cape Town that performed in Wiesbaden.

“Welcome!” — That is the word of the day in Frankfurt, as today is the day when all those participating in the Pentecost festivities of the New Apostolic Church are arriving. The children’s choir from South Africa—which will be performing at tomorrow’s concert—already arrived yesterday.

Pentecost is a very special feast for the New Apostolic Church—a kind of birthday celebration of the worldwide Church. Following are some highlights from four decades.

The countdown is on: 32 days to go to this year’s Pentecost celebrations. This time in Frankfurt (Germany). The preparations are in full swing and there is growing excitement. There is even a dedicated website.

Believers here gather for divine service in a stadium even during the rainy season. It is here that hundreds of believers receive the sacrament of Holy Sealing in the same divine service—and it is here that many have not yet seen the Chief Apostle. The latter will change this weekend.

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.

The Chief Apostle will be in the company of twenty Apostles and 14 Bishops this coming weekend. The journey is taking them to West Africa, right on the Atlantic. What is on the itinerary?
