In the autumn of 2004, the New Apostolic Church moved to Almelo and merged with the congregation in Almelo. The church building was sold and on 5 February 2005, the first service was held by the Acts Revival Church Enschede, a black African Pentecostal congregation with English and Dutch as the main languages. There is also a French-speaking Pentecostal church in Enschede. It meets in the Dutch Reformed Eastern Church from 1929. (53-05)
