Missionary Work…
The New Apostolic Church USA cares for a number of overseas countries
in which we provide missionary support. Our ministers often travel
to offer divine services, meetings, visit the members, and provide soul
care on all levels.
In addition, our youth and adult members are also encouraged to
accompany the ministers to these countries. This provides
invaluable experiences of faith for both those who travel to these
countries and islands and the members who live there.
All our ministers and missionaries are volunteers.
A Special Charitable Fund
In January of 2005, the New Apostolic Church USA
District instituted a special charitable fund in order to address
the needs of the poor and those who have suffered under catastrophic
events and natural disasters.
The fund was established in order to fulfill one of the purposes of
the Church, which is “to carry one another in charity and
goodwill”. It serves as a vehicle to make special donations beyond
our regular congregational offerings. Together with our prayers we want
to be an example of what King David said in Psalm 41:1&2 (part),
“Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him
in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and
he will be blessed on the earth.”
Contributions so designated by church members, guests or any other
person or company will be separately accounted for and used to provide
worldwide relief to the poor. Donations are used towards general
benevolence programs that support, for example, Aids Awareness, Drought
Relief, Natural Disaster Aid, Orphans and Widows, and Water Well
Projects. No administrative costs are deducted from contributions
earmarked to this World Relief fund.
Special relief donations can be made by check or wire as follows:
