If we believe and trust in God, Jesus’s unique and valuable sacrifice and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we shall be completely delivered from the bondage of Satan’s malignant acts for eternal glory.

The District Apostle Michael Ehrich conducted a live transmission service in Conakry central church, Republic of Guinea on Sunday the 16th June 2024. This service started at 6:30 pm because he and Lead Apostle Hans-Jurgen Bauer had arrived an hour before the service from Cote d’Ivoire. Apostles and Bishops both active and retired from West Africa 1 – Sierra Leone, Guinea, la Cote d’Ivoire and Liberia together with their wives, were invited.

Text word of the service: John 14:1 - “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."  The District Apostle expressed his appreciation for all to be in the divine service to keep the sabath as a commandment.  Jesus encourages the disciples in his farewell statements that He will come again and receive the bride into the glory of God - John 14:3. They are assured of the coming of the Holy Spirit to strengthen them to establish and develop the church of Christ. It is very important to believe, trust and follow Jesus and not rely on one’s education, intelligence, wealth etc. All are equal before God no matter what... Faith is a gift of grace; so it is one’s decision to be humble and open the soul to receive the gifts of faith. We have to trust in His words that he is the way, the truth and the life... John 14:6 and ‘‘He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water‘‘ John 7:38.

Concrete points
The Ministry is divine and a carrying power. Let’s accept the functions of ministries given by Jesus and put everything in God’s hand even in difficult times. We may have sorrows and needs but we take everything to Jesus. Let’s believe in the love of God to fulfull His divine promises. Our faith could be tested that sometimes we feel we have no power...we should come to the divine service to regain the strength. It‘s good to emulate the sacrifice of Jesus to bring our offerings. We could bring the 10% of our monthly earnings or small amount as the case might be because God’s work is based on sacrifice.

Leading Apostle Bauer
The District Apostle informed that the Lead Apostle Bauer has served the region for 16 years and had scatered the seeds of the gospel of Jesus for others to continue; implicating his name BAUER (farmer). Apostle Bauer while serving for the last time, assures the presence of God in the divine service in which our faith grows. He reminds all about the gifts of blessing brought by the District Apostle - the gospel of Jesus. He sends the Apostles with the commission to care for and prepare the bridal congregation for His imminent return. This is preferable to other works - seek first the kingdom of God and other things would follow and that in God’s glory there is no trouble.

Acts
Plenty District Ministers were retired, some appointed as District Rectors and others assigned as Deputy District Rectors. What climax the acts was that Lead Apostle Bauer was relieved of his function as Leading Apostle and Apostle Saa Marc Leno of Guinea was assigned Leading Apostle for Sierra Leone, Guinea, la Cote d’Ivoire and Liberia.
