AUGSBURG, GERMANY


One of the most fascinating cities of Germany is the ancient city of Augsburg.Founded in the year 15 B.C. by Tiberius who would later rule as Caesar during Jesus lifetime, it was named in honour of Emperor Octavius Caesar "Augustus". It may very well be the  site of the first Apostolic Church on the other side of the Alps. Augsburg has been the center of a great deal of religious history including serving as the center of much of the Reformation in Germany. It was here in  1518 that Cardinal Cajetan was sent from Rome to examine Martin Luther on heresy charges. Later the Treaty of Augsburg ending the great war between the Protestants and Catholics was signed here giving Protestants the right to worship free of Catholic control.





APOSTOLIC LIGHTHOUSE AUGSBURG    The Apostolic Lighthouse church here in Augsburg was our first work in the country. Today it has grown in the face of great spiritual opposition to be a living Jesus Name One God Apostolic Church whose members come from many nations, Italy, Germany, America, Nigeria, Bulgaria, Sierra Leone,Turkey Little surely is MUCH when God is in it. In addition to Apostolic Lighthouse in Augsburg we have recently expanded into the city of Munich as we were privileged to lead a wonderful Pastor, Brother Paul Wilson  into embracing the One God Jesus Name message and  bringing his entire church into TRUTH! In this picture we were blessed to have some of the young people from Calgary Alberta visiting us and giving us a wonderful concert!
