we call them any time for a pigeon. it's a piece of cake tomorrow today in 60 minutes on d w. i. she's got a thought they will grade a ah ah ah ah richie geez! from you train, stranded, entirely. pushed

. i want to go home. because of that, as soon as possible, a little away me. i'm scared of war. we want peace to prevail. when he has heard this, they are very comfortable here and they'd like to stay. but of course that isn't possible because there are always more people coming not be done. no, yes. if if it were helping people and lead the respective of whether the believer so go to church. it's what ah ah ah, with the parish center of st. mark's lutheran church in berlin states district. it's been

functioning as an emergency reception center since the beginning of march, when the 1st ukrainian refugees arrived in germany. during the nazi era, the building house, the senate of the confessing church, which opposed the war. people made homeless by bombing raids, found refuge here. now the parish is offering a merchant c. accommodation once again, providing food and care for 80 people the longer from his wrangell, for it was 90 human sugar. i'm certain i have a guardian angel taking care of me and i'm willing to cram off. he brought me to this place if you say yours, if a buddy of allison pleased him, my family has always been very religious on them. we went to church a lot with jennifer in soviet times. funny to we suffered greatly from repression. push that button to put a video deposition his article. many refugees spend

a large part of the day keeping in touch with relatives back home. the rest of the time they're finding their feet and getting to know berlin. ya cannot troubleshoot the parishioners help every way they can and would, would, would, would people helps ukrainians. people morale, sean mama, nothing's normal. any more since the war started shelf i missed my father and my big brother were in a foreign country, brought the other there for so i no matter what life throws at me, then allah, dat. i like people and they like talking to them like i you so for your miles, i mean you dollars. willis was for when i was supposed to go to the hospital in khaki to be treated there. then the missile started flying. the hospital no longer exists. yes, it will be over to the letter. i hope they'll be able to help me here in germany.

yellows available most of the parish center provides basic services for most of the refugees. groceries abort with donations. pastor carolyn marie, good fit is delighted with the donors generosity and how quickly the project came together. canals hutchison put us all st till martin, we always have a lot of fresh produce fruit tomatoes. and of course lots of potatoes, lemons, onions, fairfield, are. those are the things most need it on the whole food to cook, available are caretaker, remodeled the house cleared everything out. we arranged for beds through the brandenburg branch of the german red cross. i organized the donations and recruited a lot of volunteers to how comedy and after 6 days we were ready to welcome our guests here. hadn't got everything was well prepared for up at the refugees, so need clothes. they weren't able to pretty much with them.

yep. mm hm. and am i in a clara come by yet some that few. we've always had a clothing bank exact, but now we have a lot more space and have labeled the items and made them more available. and so that anyone can help themselves at any time. is our gases have responded very well once they choose things, they like things they need after fleeing their country switch. when the whole operation is dependent on volunteers for the inexperienced, interacting with refugees is often an emotional rollercoaster. this is the, the avoid with the gun l. i must say the refugees are very comfortable here. nothing after just 3 or 4 days. they're smiling as though the nick that can really my d. c. m class. but mom, it's so cruel. switched by so awful. so terrible what they've gone through me as to what i see on tv or hair on the radio war from people to the extent that we can communicate a bit. so i have to admit, it brings tears to my eyes. that's good. got it. just incredible.

ah, in a have been switched on within 12 hours. we had everything we needed to feed. but in 80 and a 100 people actually had us for showing christianity in practice here. so to speak, hang on to the members of our church and all the volunteers who had never done anything in the parish before or helped out are demonstrating it here. i think everyone sees that that, that i put before were you involved with the church previously gone? it's that they live as it been, but they only now go mind. oh no, not at all. it was over. i'm not involved in the parish either, but not for any negative reasons. speak of it. we just never made contact. but i'm

fully integrated here, and it's a lot of fun. it's helping people to help themselves with him. when you see that you're helping people, it makes you feel a bit better when him and even if it's only cleaning, taking up the rubbish, wiping down the kitchen, or whatever. creative vision possibly shall hurt, but faith doesn't come into it. now out there was a negative mish, does it? well not in the sense that i'm now involved in the church and it's faith in humanity that counts the compassion. just helping people where you can hear from my cousin. ah, the lutheran church of the holy trinity in berlin's charlatan book district, a benefit concert to raise humanitarian aid for ukraine. music by international artists. some of them from war torn syria,

rams, manhattan. it warms my heart to think that we were in a similar situation with our syrian friends when there was war in syria. and there is still more in syria. they click on the women of the kiki in that our syrian friends are now supporting us in this difficult situation. visit us on the find that thank you so very much. it was john. as a few seen, bankers ah says the start of the russian war of aggression, you train, they have been dozens, even hundreds of concerts like this to send a message of solidarity to ukrainians. c ah, but the pulse to realize is that it's only a truck in the ocean. v

as in here and is in the house michelson. be griffin oman, sky height. we're throwing big words around at this house. liberty, justice, and peace, manuel. but you can only get those things in small coins either today i think we've experienced here on a small scale. what it can be like when people come together in the house under one roof. wanted him saying got under the blessing of god, am to share joy and music with each other. but when they're also united in spirit and difficult times. however, i do ask that you also help at the exit with large coins, also affordably with rustling bills, russian and shine, and harrison the concert organizes, i determined that the donations not disappear into a large part and be spent on general projects in ukraine. on the contrary,

they have very specific aims, and their ideas are sometimes controversial, providing equipment for ukrainian fighters, for instance, 1st aid medical packs. so the german lutheran church is collecting funds to supply military goods, albeit in a broad sense of the term. is that appropriate? as chris understood as a churches, we've always supported humanitarian organizations and humanitarian efforts. what we did today was to collect donations for 1st aid and emergency medical equipment that something i could support my artist target unless it's a sad occasion. but of course, we also want to help a little with our donations and express solidarity solidarity. it took hours. i think it will. one can do right now what these people are doing, donating, we all feel better when we do that. i think even if one only makes us auto nation, it's incredibly important. ah,

the former so called house the statistics built during the communist era. part of the derelict building has been taken over by salon ukraine. it's a project at the berlin city mission, a church based organization providing social services for people in difficult situations. the cafe is a meeting place for refugees from ukraine, helping them find their feet in a strange country. they've reached germany and are safe. but what now, what comes next often gonna, they want to know how to find a job where they can take language courses, whether children can go to school or kindergarten. and so their problems here,

they can get information and exchange ideas. how's the cafe is open to people of all ages. it's about helping people help themselves. not distributing handouts on you them at all. thus isn't coffee, okay. half a ukraine is about meeting as equals. the 2 ukranian women here are highly qualified professionals. one is a business coach, the other is an economist. they know what they compatriots need to. both of they both have lots of contacts and are continuously inviting people. they know you have skills that are useful to the refugees, or who simply want to get to know the oil casino re a ball con, cooks regularly at cafe ukraine, chatting at the cocktail bar with summer on the way. she is now mixing fruit cocktails for her delighted customers by the business woman has always been fascinated by what a good bartender can achieve. now said, chance to prove she's got what it takes when you are

a gas. ah, most of the time i really love them. they ask me like, what do you prefer something sweet, something fi? see something like something to friend, something fresh. what do you, once you even cannot name, can say anything, they're just gonna make it perfectly with, were you what we just even talked to? what's the secret more than just to drink the bartender office an opportunity to converse, to enjoy life a little. that ease is the pain of being a stranger of leaving home to start a new life somewhere else. for me it's always my home. where is that? where i what is my family? there is my home. yeah, i me, a lot of, i mean, a lot of just a minute more. but a die as,

as is august. the pastoral care has an important role to play in the refugee and will crisis. some people arrive hair and at 1st they come down. then after a few weeks, the trauma becomes apparent. it's not easy to leave your home, your house, your familiar surroundings, and start afresh in a foreign country. you don't know what will happen to the people you've left behind, husbands and fathers, minutes. this is a stressful situation and of course, arriving in a foreign country and not speaking the language is also very difficult. we have a psychologist here who offers her services. people can approach her individually and arrange a session via learning to cope with anxiety. natalia cova leanne co teaches helpful skills through educational games. many of the women are worried sick about their husbands. sons and brothers caught up in the war with them did the some, i believe in the law, brought 1000000. if i blaming y'all, but most of this is really the most painful issue. and not only for me who has

family in ukraine, my family is very important. i want us to be together. but i don't know if we can go back or away and just me bring my own up. you're more than we're going over. you gotta rolled as faith play in this brutal question that some 78 percent of ukrainians identify as eastern orthodox christians. how comfortable do they feel among lutherans or some i'm janet damien, are but over there by sure. but we have different religions, but that doesn't determine whether people help each other or not. you. thing is that for me it's just the opposite. if it's a great human story, by shy, we're all just people now claudia and we help each other regardless of nationality or culture. you have ethan. that's pretty cool. i thought i thought you thought on mash eyes, a tova is working at the sewing machine in a side room of cafe ukraine. she's the fashion designer and had to give up her studio in cave, sorta. so this is,

she fled the war without any prospects. now, after just a few weeks, she's able to stand on her own 2 feet again. so so i was there last year was worthless, but of those i, we have the opportunity to work and that's very important to us. ah, it's not just about survival and money. it's about keeping your personality as to why knowing who you really are. both storm wake, bowman watches this, knowing that you're some one thought that you can do something for what you something at the or she was on the last a fashion studio under the roof of the berlin city mission. russia as the 12 knows her host, i'm motivated by spirituality and want to provide pastoral care. this may be important to others, she says, but not for her work linea, near,

near to rising ethically. it doesn't matter to me what religion it is your choice. if i feel and in a need to go to church and i'm in another country, i go to the local church and the story with a clear conscience. so i thought i'm open about it. he up to me, it's like withdrawing money from another bank, say t m, bunco op. in other words anchor. it's all the same account. he had been, with only they thought the church of saint simian in berlin's quotes, beg district, the cities refugee church past the con has invited mostly refugees, mostly ukrainians, to a special service. oh flag her that's most delicious. it's been to tag is fun. i am really excited quite a few have registered if mr. damage may i mention al, from it in the gift the horn. dear sister, yes, christie be died. i want to introduce people to the story. for me,

the story of jesus christ rounds god is in people hazel's crystals. well, you don't necessarily need jesus christ to understand that his kite and not everybody here does the marker on. but it's one possibility, and i want to reflect and consider this thought that god became human. oh and that god is still in humans to day on that. i'm firmly convinced that when i meet god, i also meet him and people in mother mental bigness can now does or to let out movement. ethel refugees were accommodated in this church temporarily. simply to give them a roof over their heads. 20 caps. wonderful. now they've moved on and found apartments, but they're happy to return and to day this is special supper. ah

. the 1st surprise, the music is provided by a couple, one russian, the other ukrainian. ah. if i am the smile to sweden in that we celebrate this meal of peace and the name of abraham sarah and hagar does mid embedded matter involving, named on for a day to hand. when we pray, we do it like this. we take our right hand on laying them and put the thumb of this right hand in the left hand and hold it close to the heart. and we pray in silence for the people who are there in our hearts m. cindy, our friends, our family. i'm happy everybody. we love the family live. i live deville even.

doesn't have a very simple recall board time celebrating the lord suffer with predominantly orthodox christians is not a problem for lutherans ask of the dean and stayed out in tifton. the believe is denomination is irrelevant, all baptized, christians may receive holy communion. the 2 eyes are however, passed to con, has something else up her sleeve on flat by years of nathaniel, on some of them and had they fled, let him when jesus was with his disciples van and he suddenly knelt down to wash their feet. that will do that afterwards, al, from it i've got a tub here and i've got towels and i've brought the best baby shampoo we had at home and i'd be very happy if as many of you as possible would let me wash your feet. today is fun, mad if is a veteran laughed and hide it. the thought of the past to washing their feet doesn't sit well with the ukrainian refugees. and that's precisely the idea. jesus wanted to show his amazed disciples that serving people is the most important thing

. even in performing a menial task. oh does mister edison? what cool? oh, it's an it's chris. caesar did it to his disciples. he was the teacher. and he did it with us. didn't saw it. that changing the role for pastor con, meeting refugees who want nothing more than to return home is a new experience. does have a soul of me. i left the thoughts of ethic, me, m, lagging name. i've never experienced anything like this before to resign like best and say no, we can't go back now. and actually we're looking for a long term solution gift, but i hope the refugees don't remain strangers for long. i hope the issue of

diversity becomes more prominent in the church and that we realize we're a church of immigrants and a society of immigrants and when crops were also a society of migrants academic maybe we ourselves need to see more clearly what a privilege it is not to have to migrate turn privilege as in sam leon nif make the on some lesson. ah, in spite of their initial doubts, the refugees a deeply moved. ah ah, yes, you have seen a good enough but any more? thank you for great support that we didn't expect to receive so much help in our difficult situation. any other than the story that la harvey over to or that people here were so warm hearted at the national do you got them?

good. good. mm hm. thank you. so much to bother a few years ago when we arrived in germany and took our 1st step into this church, we felt at her friend is unusually above one here a minute. ah, ah. ready ah ah the kinds of vill hm. memorial church on berlin's cliff isn't on boulevard here

every night since the beginning of the russian invasion, there are prayers for peace and a short sermon to day. an appropriate story from the bible. it's about the people of nineveh, who abandoned their old like to save themselves from destruction and to bring the rulers their senses. and i'd stuff for the clinic for the navy. com stunt alfonze. i'm torn click because i'm poor. poor up. when jim, his warning reached the king of nineveh, he rarely from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat down in the dust. and you know, this is the proclamation he, if you didn't nineveh hendo let them give up evil ways and their violence. who knows? god may yet relent. most of the people, if men of a show that to change you have to leave, you will come down and then the rulers will also be comfortable about changing it.

and this is how a free society, a democracy work kind of out. there is no up there. there is only us view and we don't wait for orders from 100. we act 100. confronted with the crises and conflicts of our time. so we all need to change. it's we who must repent on v as in the own can listen prayer or practical help intercession or shelter food and drink, which is more important. but with school, when it was wonderful, i would reply with the saying by detroit, bonham, for that it's about banks, about praying and doing what is just to make that happen. have to put it on and on . but it means of course, that you both are dependent on each other. only praying is just as problematic as only acting undoing. think it is. i'd say that both these aspects of very important

and of course, the desire for justice has been a very profound a biblical based wish. the thousands of years told. the hebrew prophets speak of it again and again. so prayer and action belong very closely together, and it's with ah ah

with ah ah, animals, i'm clever. and some of the smartest pigeons their visual memory is outstanding. can you memorize $700.00 images and

recall them at any time? for a pigeon, it's a piece of cake. to morrow today. in 30 minutes on d w. on the road with our travel super heroes, my mission is clear who crushed iga and nicole, felicia explored germany. they dive in and they check everything out. there's a lot going on in their logo. germany tried and tested with in 60 minutes on dw, ah, with ended glistening place of longing. the mediterranean sea have almost
