Description	:	On June 28th, 1883, the Evangelist, H. F. Niemeyer, with his wife and three children, arrived in Queensland. He was sent from Germany to seek souls for the Apostolic Church.

Read More	On June 28th, 1883, the Evangelist, H. F. Niemeyer, with his wife and three children, arrived in Queensland. He was sent from Germany to seek souls for the Apostolic Church. When he landed in Brisbane the whole of his money left to him was a halfpenny, but he found employment with his brother-in-law, Mr. Lose, who was then in Brisbane in business. He worked for him for five months to learn a little of the English language, and after that he went on the land in Grandchester. But in the school of suffering he had to learn the will of God, for one of his children became very ill, so that all hope for its life was given up. Mr. Lose advised the Evangelist to call a doctor, for, he said, should the child die he would come in conflict with the law of the land. The Evangelist Niemeyer had no intention of doing such, for, he said, if God wishes to take the child, no doctor can help it. He believed in God alone as his helper, so he and his wife went into a room by themselves and earnestly prayed to God to help them, and oh, wonder of wonders, next morning when his brother-in-law saw the Evangelist's wife feeding the child, he just stood and looked and said nothing, and quietly walked away and left them to themselves. In these five months of the Evangelist's employment he had saved a small sum of money, for which he bought the necessary tools for the farm in Grandchester. On being sent from Germany to evangelise, be had to fulfil his calling. He left his wife and family with his brother-in-law and went on the farm, but the very next day the tempter came to him and offered him a good place in Brisbane, the wages should be two pounds per week, a free house, and free rations. He was strongly advised by his brother-in-law to accept this and let the farm alone, but the Evangelist Niemeyer said: "I have said I am going on the land, and on the land I am going, and with the help of God I will find what I am seeking." He again served his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, up to three weeks before his end, and he passed peacefully away out of this life on February 29th, 1920, to await the call of Him whom he had served so faithfully in this life. So ended the life of a very true, honourable, and sincere Evangelist and Apostle, H. F. Niemeyer, the founding Apostle of the Apostolic Church of Queensland. With the passing of Apostles over the years the Lord has always provided men to replace them and continue His work in that ministry in accordance with His promise Matthew 28:20 "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
