Video excerpt from Pentecost service 2007

Zürich/Hamburg. "I would like to wish each and every one of you a blessed feast of Pentecost. May the fullness of God's blessing flow today, and may everyone particularly experience God's love and kindness." It was with these words that Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber began the Pentecost service 2007 in the Hamburg Congress Centre. His Pentecost message for all New Apostolic congregations around the world was taken from the gospel of John 14: 1: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”

Approximately 8,000 congregations around the world participated in the divine service. Via satellite transmission, the sound and picture from the Pentecost service reached more than 70 countries on all continents.

Here we will show a brief excerpt from the service (in German and English). This is also available in low version. Standing next to the international president of the New Apostolic Church is the English interpreter, Evangelist Ronald Hume.

Pentecost 2005: Audio file of "press conference"

The press conference on the New Apostolic Church's change in leadership took around an hour. The questions of the invited representatives from the media and other churches were numerous and very interesting. The two chief apostles—retired Chief Apostle Richard Fehr and incumbent Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber—took advantage of this welcome opportunity to respond in detail to questions and explain the position of the Church on various issues.

The press conference took place on 18 May 2005 in the Church's international seat in Zurich. Church and media delegates from Germany and Switzerland assembled in the NACI Congress Centre. First they heard opening statements from both chief apostles, and then there was a round of questions and answers. In cooperation with Jugend Online [Youth Online] we present a recording of the chief apostles' statements, as well as a summary of the questions and answers from the press conference of 18 May 2005.

Both of these recordings are only available in German. They are available for download in MP3 format:
