In England in 1832, John Bate Cardale was called, through prophecies, as the first apostle of the second sending.
Eleven more men from various Christian denominations, social positions and religious training were called to the newly founded apostle ministry from then until 1835.
After a long period of combined preparation, these apostles started to travel around the world, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The main point of their gospel was that the Church had deviated from its origins; only through restoring the Universal Church to its perfect state could the return of Christ be ensured.
They were convinced that the restoration of the apostles' ministry was necessary to achieve that perfect condition.

After the death of three apostles in 1855, the apostolate declared that there was no reason to call new apostles.
During a meeting at Albury in 1860, the German Prophet Heinrich Geyer called two evangelists to be apostles.
After deliberation, the apostles rejected this calling, explained the callings of substitutes as coadjutors to the remaining apostles and affirmed that no further callings to the apostolate would be accepted.
