Special moments in Erica West with Chief Apostle Helper Helge Mutschler
On Wednesday, 20 May 2026, Erica West congregation was filled with excitement, reverence, and a deeply holy atmosphere as members gathered for a blessed divine service conducted by Chief Apostle Helper Helge Mutschler.
Congregants from the invited congregations arrived with joyful anticipation, creating a spirit of great expectation as they prepared their hearts for the service.
The Bible text was taken from Isaiah 41:10 NKJV: “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
It was shared that this verse had been written to Chief Apostle Helper Helge Mutschler by a sister who wished him well upon receiving the great responsibility of becoming the next Chief Apostle.
The opening hymn, “Mighty God, We Praise Thy Name” (Hymn 49), set a wonderful tone for the evening as the congregation united in praise and gratitude to God.
Apostle Neville Williams was then called upon to serve along, sharing supporting thoughts based on the text verse and encouraging the congregation to place their complete trust in God’s guidance and care. The service centred around five powerful promises contained within the Bible text.
On the words, “For I am with you,” the congregation was reminded that God is always beside, behind, below, and above His children, remaining their constant rock and solid ground in every circumstance.
Further emphasis was placed on the words, “For I am your God,” reminding all present of the close relationship God desires with His people, while “I will strengthen you” encouraged members to rely on divine strength during challenging times.
On the promise, “I will help you,” the Chief Apostle Helper shared the comforting thought that our help comes from the cross, where Jesus Christ made the ultimate sacrifice for mankind, and that God’s hand rests upon the shoulder of His children, guiding and supporting them through every situation.
Lastly, the congregation reflected on the assurance, “I will uphold you,” finding comfort in knowing that God faithfully sustains and preserves His people through His righteous right hand. It was also shared that Jesus sat at the right hand of His Father, symbolising honour, victory, and eternal fellowship with God, reminding believers of the hope that they too may one day share in that glory.
The choir beautifully rendered “One Spirit, One Goal,” creating a moving moment as voices blended together in praise and devotion. The atmosphere throughout the service remained uplifting, sacred, and filled with heartfelt gratitude for the rich blessings experienced.
The concluding hymn, “Come Ye That Love the Lord” (Hymn 406), brought the service to a joyful close as the congregation departed spiritually strengthened and inspired.
