Island hopping off the coast of Africa, a youth gathering on a mountain slope, and an intercultural encounter over lunch … The New Apostolic faith is found everywhere and it brings people together, as these three examples from the past month demonstrate.

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 ministers of the New Apostolic Church receive a copy of the Divine Service Guide, a publication in which the Chief Apostle provides thoughts for the sermons. In many District Churches this occurs on a monthly basis. Some countries, however, receive a yearbook, which contains a whole year’s worth of articles. In the month of April our sermons focus on the Lord’s Prayer—at least in those parts of the world where the monthly Divine Service Guide is used.

Active Christian love translates into hands-on help. This is the principle of the various aid organizations of the New Apostolic Church around the globe, who are currently working on many smaller and larger projects. Following are three examples in Africa, Asia, and Europe.

The first official meeting between the leaders of the New Apostolic Church Cape and the United Apostolic Church of South Africa took place in early February 2016. The discussions took place in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

The New Apostolic Church is starting a new project: every day starting 1 March 2016, it will share striking statements from sermons over social media. These will be published in German and English on neuapostolisch.de and newapostolic.org, as well as on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Spearheading the project actively here is the New Apostolic Church of Northern Germany.
