Money Goes To Church
A well-worn one dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.
The twenty dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the county. "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean."
"Wow!" said the one dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"
"So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church ...."
The twenty dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

Afraid of the Dark...
A little boy was afraid of the dark.
One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom.

The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out there. It's dark."

The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. "You don't have to be afraid of the dark,"
she explained. "Jesus is out there. He'll look after you and protect you."

The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's out there?"

"Yes, I'm sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him," she said.

The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little.
Peering out into the darkness, he called, "Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?"

Three Friends Go to Heaven...
After dying in a car crash, three friends go to Heaven for orientation. They are all asked the same question: "When you are in your casket, and friends and family are mourning over you, what would you like to hear them say about you?"
The first guy immediately responds, "I would like to hear them say that I was one of the great doctors of my time, and a great family man."
The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in the children of tomorrow."
The last guy thinks a minute and replies, "I guess I'd like to hear them say, 'Look, he's moving!"

NAC International Reports

Pentecost 2009: “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”
04.06.2009

Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber chose this year’s Pentecost greeting from 1 Corinthians 15: 57: “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” In a letter addressed to all congregations of the New Apostolic Church around the world, the Church leader writes: “Christ attained the greatest victory of all on Golgotha, namely the victory over death. Those who belong to Christ can share in
this victory.”

Each year on Pentecost, the international Church leader of the
New Apostolic Church sends a special Pentecost greeting to
all New Apostolic congregations around the world.
For the year 2009, this special text was taken from
1 Corinthians 15: 57. In a letter to all the Apostles,
Chief Apostle Leber shares his thoughts on this passage.
He writes as follows:
“This passage indicates that the Lord will stand by us and give us the strength in order to attain victories ourselves, no matter how small they may be. The important thing is to gain the victory over unbelief, unbridled egoism, despondency, and sluggishness. May it be our motto to gain a victory every day!”

Faithful With Much...
At a Wednesday evening church meeting a very wealthy man rose to give his testimony.
"I'm a millionaire," he said, "and I attribute it all to the rich blessings of God in my life. I can still remember the turning point in my faith, like it was yesterday:
I had just earned my first dollar and I went to a church meeting that night. The speaker was a missionary who told about his work. I knew that I only had a dollar bill and had to either give it all to God's work or nothing at all. So at that moment I decided to give my whole dollar to God. I believe that God blessed that decision, and that is why I am a rich man today."
As he finished it was clear that everyone had been moved by this man's story. But, as he took his seat, a little old lady sitting in the same pew leaned over and said: "Wonderful story! I dare you to do it again!"

More flooding in Southern Africa
04.04.2009



Zurich. “It is my sad duty to report that renewed flooding in the southern part of Africa has caused much suffering for the region’s people.” So begins a letter written by District Apostle Charles Ndandula (Zambia) addressed to Chief Apostle Leber. The District Apostle relates that, in Zambia alone, some 15,000 members have lost all of their belongings as a result of the catastrophe. The international Church leader has responded by deploying the relief organisation known as NAK-karitativ.
Zambia, Malawi, and neighbouring countries have once again been affected by heavy flooding. In the meantime, local Church representatives and the New Apostolic Church’s relief organisation based in Zambia — the Henwood Foundation — are busy trying to gain an initial overview of the damage. Further details are not known at this point in time.



NAK-karitativ has set aside 170,000 Euros from its donations pool for emergency relief measures.
