No doctor could help Walter Enders
The red Duster is not my car at all, it belongs to the club. It is one of the best investments Diospi Suyana e. V. has made in Germany in recent years. With its LPG tank, I save almost 50% of the usual fuel costs. In the past two weeks, the cheap car scrubbed 5000 km. You could describe him as a workhorse, yet he is more like a human. After all, he has his whims and quirks. Sometimes the gas cap won’t open, sometimes the sound system goes on strike. The noise at the drive shaft is more proof that virtually nothing works perfectly in this world. Now he is “sitting” in the waiting room of a Frankfurt doctor’s office with the sign “Renault” above the entrance door. The squad of car doctors will help him today, I’m quite sure of it.
For Walter Enders, any medical help came too late. For over 30 years, the hardworking man from East Germany was somehow a fixture in my life. From early childhood until his death, Walter went through hard times. He also served time in prison for attempted Republikflucht. One day he went to a church service and had the intense feeling that the pastor was sharing details of Walter’s life in the pulpit. Of course, the clergyman did not know the Thuringian at all, but the “Holy Spirit” (= the real power of God) was powerfully at work. In that hour, the hopeless man entrusted himself to the God of love and received a hope that he never lost until his death. Strokes and a series of surgeries brought the kind man to the edge of endurance. On September 17, Walter was released from his suffering.
As long as I can remember, his heart beat for Diospi Suyana. In the summer of 2005, he even had a supernatural experience that flushed more than €20,000 into Diospi Suyana’s coffers in the years that followed. The link tells the story that has been documented in full in the second book about Diospi Suyana.
The back of the obituary reads, “When God saw that the road was too long, the hill too steep, the breathing too hard, he put his arm around you and said, ‘Come home.'”
Do you think the heavenly home really exists? What do you think? On Monday, an atheist in Lübeck told me about his mother. She had never been interested in God, but now in her 80s she goes to church regularly. Why so late? After all, God offers us His friendship today. Comfort, life support and orientation – that’s quite a lot. To crown it all, we find a meaning to life and even hope. The experiences at Diospi Suyana and in the life of Walter Enders show impressively that faith is not a mood enhancer from the drug lab. And because God acts real, it’s worth driving the Dacia Duster with your lead foot so that everyone can hear it. From Lübeck to Munich and from Tuttlingen to Goslar.
What did the Nazarene say to the oppressed and life-troubled people of Palestine 2000 years ago? “Come to me, all you who labor and suffer under your burdens! I will give you peace!”
(Explanation: Jesus Christ grew up in the city of Nazareth. Therefore, many refer to him as the Nazarene. Other namings are: The son of a carpenter, Savior of the world, Son of God, Savior…).
