Schools without toilets? Days of instruction without drinking water? In some places this is completely normal. However, it does make learning more difficult than it needs to be, especially for girls. One way of combatting the problem is called WASH.

Friendships need to be cultivated, especially when they span the Atlantic. And this is why a Swiss national, a well-known figure, dropped in on the Youth Symphony Orchestra Argentina just a few days ago.

Not only her own large family call her Mama Rose. The members of the Calgary-Chestermere congregation (Canada) also affectionately know her by this name. They appreciate the caring nature and self-sacrificing commitment of Sister Rose Kamwanji Ndumbi (62).

Whether young people do something for the congregation or something is done for them, they are important because they are the future of the Church.

It was to be specifically for young people. That was the idea that District Apostle Norberto Batista announced in 2007 when he decided to launch a magazine for his working area. And it is still produced for the youth, every month anew.

The Covid crisis is still not over, there are wars, natural disasters, and catastrophic hunger. With all the negative news, it is easy to forget a very important group within the Church: children and young people, who are our future.

They are back… the pictures of refugees desperately seeking a safe place. We saw similar images already back in 2015. Elena Kloppmann saw them too and could not get the pictures out of her head. That was when she decided that she wanted to help. Today she is helping in the Mediterranean.

Although there is a lot of suffering in the world, people also have reasons to celebrate—some more, some less, and sometimes for no particular reason at all.

Dogs in the church or motorcycles in the Philippines—sometimes help comes in unexpected ways. Over the last few months, natural disasters and explosions were the top stories in world news. What didn’t make the headlines was the good news, namely the help that came.

Ralf Pilgrim, an Evangelist, has been the rector of the Bad Harzburg congregation in Germany since the end of September 2021. He only moved there with his family in 2020, but he has known the congregation for longer…

Divine services with the Chief Apostle, reports from various congregations, and a Bible story for children… community, the magazine of the New Apostolic Church, is published quarterly. On nac.today it is featured as a digital edition, and many countries print the magazine.

The charity human aktiv supports a thrift shop. NACRO and NAK karitativ have made a difference in people’s lives with water pumps. And brothers and sisters wrapped presents for children. Christmas can come.

The Catholic practice of confirmation as a sacrament was only accorded a few quiet centuries. But then the reformers came along and sought to anchor the Christian rite of initiation in the act of baptism alone—and nevertheless instituted their own practice of confirmation in the process.
