National Organization of the New Apostolic Church of North America Erwin Wagner August 8, 2001 Dear Brothers & Sisters, In heartfelt fervency of thought and prayer ~ from the Chief Apostle to the ranks of the youngest and newly ordained, regardless of ministry ~ the servants in God's house still seek to fulfill what King Solomon expressed over God's peop! in his time (1 Kings 8: 28): “Yet have thou respect (Luther tronsiation - incline thyself) unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and fo the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day." Revealed in this prayer Is the king's concem for the entire well-being of God's people, not because he was their ruler, but because the covenant between God and His people was the ruler over Solomon's heart and decisions for them. It would be indescribable to reveal the feelings that pass over all of our souls, because of what we * See that tempts, + Hear that upsets, + Face that creates fear, + live through that brings suffering. all of this, God, our Heavenly Father, and His Son have provided “servanis" who have godly compassion and whose prayers are “dedicated to our service”. In the wisdom prompted by the Holy Ghost in the gifts of their ministies, these servants bring to fruition Christ's Own statement (Matthew 24: “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (\uther transition - blissful, ultimate joy).” Administration Office Incorporated in tinois 3753 North Troy Street, Chicago, linois 60618 United States of America 1 ‘Telephone (773) 539-3652 Telefax (773) 478-6691This means to endure circumstances lasting not only one hour, one day, one week, one year, but our whole spiritual life-span. How many such situations have we not all lived through - in the past, the present, and will as long as life lasts. The support for each one - member or servant, child or adult, strong or weak, healthy or sick - comes from above according to Isaiah 35, especially verses 3 and 4: “Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence: he will come and save you." This is the deep prompting In the soul of our Chief Apostle and the inspiration of his ministry for God's work, that he will visit ATLANTA, Georgia, U.S.A, and conduct a divine service on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2001 that will be transmitted audio-visually throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, as well as certain regions in Central and South America where this Is accessible. The District Rectors and local Rectors will advise you of your respective locations. The Divine Service will commence at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, with the usual choral and musical preparation, approximately one hour prior. Regrettably seating Is limited. Those members in the Georgla region have been advised of the location. Please note: : Absolutely no one will be admitted into the at without a ticket. Individyals from the facility will collecting tickets, and no more than 700 can be inside the auditorium due to municipal and fire regulations. Such care that our Heavenly Father exercises over us must prompt our souls to happy thanksgiving, since even the Lord Jesus asked in Luke 22:35,A turther highlight follows on October 14, 2001: “OUR CHURCH THANKSGIVING SUNDAY” in all the regions and countries worldwide, entrusted to our stewardship by our Chief Apostle. This local service also has its special significance that we dedicate our thankfulness to our Heavenly Father by our visible and Invisible offerings and sacrifices. In spite of previously mentioned situations which we have faced in the past years, we also have experienced God's words in Malachi 3:10: “Bring ye alll the fithes (out of a compulsion of thankfulness) .... and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if| will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” May we ask that now already that you pray with us for all matters relating fo both of these events that it may be - in our own hearts, in God's house, at Christ's altar before the servant there, who Is the outlet for the Holy Spirit ~ as it states in Hymn 180; “The dwelling’s set aright”. With sincerest love and greetings from our Chief Apostle Fehr, In which we heartily Join, Yours very sincerely CSL, = fagner Richard Freund Leslie Latorcai Please note: Due to tne fact that both cur District Apostles, 8.
