but even if it starts feeding again, returning it to the open sea will be a challenging feet. is reminder of the top story where following for you, a safe fire is taken effect in garza between israel and palestinian militants. is riley airstrikes and rocket launches by islamic jihad fight. just kept going right up to the dead line. that's all for now. faith matters is up next auntie w. i'm john radio family and have a great day for departure into the to day. this means flying to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route the world famous sea voyage of ferdinand of magellan. i'd rather

erase linked to military interests erased, linked to political and military christy. but it was so linked to many financial choices and adventure full of hardships, dangers and death 3 years. and that would change the world forever. but jillions journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. ah, ah refugees from ukraine, stranded in berlin. ocean

i want to go home. gun crocodile, broken as soon as possible. i'm here the lead me, i'm scared of war. but we want peace to prevail. when he offends if 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, know yet if, if it were helping people and lead them at the respective of whether the believer. so go to church. it's what 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 youth. wrong oh for is it was i to human shipper. 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, you'll see if a buddy of allison pleased him. my family has always been very religious on them. we went to church a lot, michelle, in soviet times funny. we suffered greatly from repression. bush not rushing a bit of your doctors with 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. ja cannot troubleshoot out the parishioners help every way they can and would, would, would, would people helps ukrainians. people. melissa romano. nothing's normal any more since the war started. so if i miss my father and my big brother were in a foreign country, brought the other there for her. so i no matter what life throws at me, then i'll adapt. i like people and i like talking to them the work i you. so for your miles, i mean you dollars, willis as well. i was supposed to go to the hospital in khaki to be treated there. then the missile started flying at the hospital no longer exists. yes, all the way over to the letter. i hope they'll be able to help me here in germany,

yet available most of the parish center provides basic services for most of the refugees. groceries abort with donations. pastor carolyn marie, good foot is delighted with the donors generosity and how quickly the project came together. canal sources um put us all st till martin we always have a lot of fresh produce fruit tomatoes and of course lots of potatoes, lemons, onions, 50 of 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 top. the refugees in so need clothes. they weren't able to pretty much with them.

we haven't heard from him. i'm glad i 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 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 oh, the nick, that kind of 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 fun switched on within 12 hours. we had everything we needed to feed, but in 80 and a 100 people acted as 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. hot. think every one of these that are there any i put before you were you involved with the church previously gone? it had the live as it been today? the only now again mine or no not at all 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 of wiping down the kitchen or whatever. creative vision for the blue shirt. but faith doesn't come into my yard and there was a negative mich does it? well, not in the sense that i'm now involved in the church, and it's faith in humanity, the accounts, the compassion, just helping people where you can hear from uncle, the lutheran church, of the holy trinity, in berlin's charlotte book, district, a benefit concert to raise, she monitoring aid for ukraine, music by international artists. some of them for more to on syria.

vamp 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 lauren, syria. they click on the women of the kiki and that our syrian friends are now supporting us in this difficult situation vis and us on to the some point. thank you so very much. it was john as a 15 divers 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. ah, what the pulse to realize is that it's only a truck in the ocean. ah,

yes, yes, and here it is in the house michelson. be griffin. i'm on sky hide. we're throwing big words around at this house. liberty, justice, and peace, manuel. but you can only get those things and small coins tighter today i think we've experienced here on a small scale. and what is can be like when people come together in the house under one roof? wanted him saying got under the blessing of god, to share joy and music with each other tired, but when they're also united and spirit difficult time. sometimes however, i do ask that you also help the exit with large coins, also affordably with rustling bills, russian and shine, and the haitian ah, the concert organizes are 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 can 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 and it's all a devotee. it took hours. i think it's all 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 are, 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. you them at all, thus isn't coffee, okay. half a ukraine is about meeting as equals. the to ukrainian women here are highly qualified professionals. one is a business coach, the other is an economist. they know what they compatriots need to know if 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 cook's regularly at cafe ukraine, chatting at the cocktail bow 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 girl. ah, most of the time i really loved them. they asked me like, what do you prefer? something sweet, something fi? see something like something to frame something fresh. what do you once you even cannot name? can i say anything? they're just gonna make it perfectly with? were you what they just even talked in? what's a 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 m. m. did the family believes 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 am dana damien, are but other than by far 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 in. it's a great human story. by shy, we're all just people now and we help each other regardless of nationality or culture, you do not know that's pretty cool. i thought i had the what 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 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, was less 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 the law knowing who you really are. both storm wake only watches this, knowing that you're some one thought that you can do something. but what could you something at that was she was on the last a fashioned studio under the roof of the berlin city mission. marcia, 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 a thicker, it doesn't matter to me what religion it is your choice for if i feel in, in the 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 watha. in other words, it's all the same account. he had been with us only they thought the church of saint simian in berlin's quotes fed district, the cities refugee church past the con has invited mostly refugees, mostly ukrainians, to a special service. oh, let her know that smells delicious. has been to tag, is fun. i am really excited. quite a few have registered is my step damage. now i mention al, from it indigo, 50 horn dear, exist a year from christie,

the died. i want to introduce people to the story. for me, the story of jesus christ rounds god is in people. is those crystals? well you don't necessarily need jesus christ understand that biscuit and not everybody here does ask me for marking on. but it's one possibility. and i want to reflect and consider this thought that god became human and that god is still in humans today on death. i'm firmly convinced that when i me god, i also meet him and people in mother mental bigness can now does port to live. mm hm. into so refugees were accommodated in this church temporarily, simply to give them a roof over their heads. 20 capsule doesn't it? now they've moved on and found apartments, but they're happy to return. and today this is special supper. ah

. the 1st surprise, the music is provided by a couple one russian, the other ukranian. ah, if i am, lisa smiled a sweden m, that we celebrate this meal of peace in the name of abraham sarah and hagar. does mid embedded matter involving, named on for at least a hand when we pray, we do it like this. we take our right hand on leg then 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 em cindy, our friends, our family, i'm happy everybody. we love. and so if amelia, i live deville even. doesn't

that a very simple recall for ty, celebrating the lord saddle with predominantly orthodox christians, is not a problem for lutherans back of the dean and stayed out in tifton to believe his denomination is irrelevant. all baptized, christians may receive holy communion with 2 eyes. how however passed to con has something else up her sleeve on flat by years of nathaniel, cancel them and had they fled, let him when jesus was with his disciples van and he suddenly knelt down to wash their feet of that we'll 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 to day this fun mad it fiercely vatton laughed and hides 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 i what cool? oh it's at it's chris caesar did it to his disciples. he was the teacher and he did it with us. didn't saw it's that same thing. 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 am 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 la crops were also a society of migrant 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 for any more. thank you for great support. we didn't expect to receive so much help in our difficult situation. as dawn, doug, no harvey over to or that people here were so warm hearted at the national do you

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, for his unusually bug won't get to my. ready ah 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 survey 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 to 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. multiple 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 london, 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 into 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 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 but told the hebrew prophets speak of it again and again. so prayer and action belong very closely together with ah, with

ah, who voices from the street forbidden. ah, mahogany music is a new chips and mix of bunk electro and ram. it's clear ok, so about drugs and women. the song speak to the soul of the younger generation.
