How did the Pentecost service get to the various congregations? In very different ways. And some, like the Democratic Republic of Congo, made a celebration of their own out of it.

Working with heart, soul, and mind: discussions by the District Apostle Meeting were on the agenda for day two and three of the 2023 Pentecost council in Cape Town.

The feast before the feast: twenty-two congregations across the Western Cape had their midweek service conducted by a District Apostle or a District Apostle Helper. The congregation in Tafelsig experienced a special surprise—and for good reason.

The agenda has been defined and the conference equipment is set up: starting today, the International District Apostle Meeting is in session. Yesterday, the host and the team from the New Apostolic Church International put the final touches on their preparations.

Over the next few days, the focus of the New Apostolic world will be on Cape Town in South Africa.

They will conduct divine services, attend a concert in Silvertown, and celebrate the birthday of the church on Pentecost.

The 2023 Pentecost festivities in South Africa have started: the participants are currently arriving. The first to arrive in Cape Town on Tuesday was the Chief Apostle. Tonight, the District Apostles will fan out to various congregations to conduct divine services. Here are pictures of the arrivals.

Jesus, women, and the apostolate… While the biblical findings are indisputable, they do not provide clear answers. How does the New Apostolic Church treat this? Here is the first interim conclusion on the question of what the New Testament says about the ordination of women.

New Apostolic Christians from all over the world can tune into this year’s Pentecost celebration on two occasions. Not only will the divine service on Sunday be broadcast but also the concert on Saturday. And the hosting district is quite famous for its music.

The name Magney is well-known in New Apostolic circles in Germany: there were two Apostles with that name. The younger of the two was confirmed by the older one some eighty years ago. And the older Magney died in a bombing raid eighty years ago today. Today we pay tribute to a pioneer.

To reign with Christ is a higher form of service. This is what District Apostle John Kriel from South Africa says in his article on our annual motto. What exactly this means he explains by telling us what we need to let go of and what we need to hold on to.
