Jochen (Jack)( Wurfl (92) shares his astonishing story of losing his family in the holocaust, coming to America, and his thoughts on patriotism, freedom, Israel, anti-semitism, and life.

Jack was born in 1932 in Germany to his Jewish mother and Catholic father, and lived in Austria until 1936. Anticipating Hitler's invasion of Austria, his parents sent Jack and his brother, Peter, back to Germany to live with their Jewish grandparents in Berlin.

As Hitler's persecution of the Jews intensified, Jack's grandfather sneaked the boys into hiding at a children's summer camp in the resort village of Dangast, 200 miles northwest of Berlin on the North Sea. The camp was operated by a brave and sympathetic German woman named Irma Franzen-Heinrichsdorff.

Jack and Peter lived with "Tante Irma" for twelve years, where they survived bombing raids, SS police surveillance, and food shortages. Their mother died in Auschwitz. Their father, a political prisoner in the Mauthausen concentration camp, died shortly after his liberation after World War II ended.

As a caregiver, if you go to church - why?

If not, why not?

I know what scripture says about church, but I am asking you as a caregiver: why are you doing it or not doing it?

In this episode I discuss this and what church means to me - along with some improvement opportunities when it relates to those who suffer - and those who care for them.

My father lived an exceptional life - and in this episode I share a bit from his life, service, and legacy.

"Rev. Rosenberger leaves an extraordinary legacy of service to God, family, and country. He tirelessly ministered to lives in distress and pointed them to the Savior he served so faithfully. His entire ministry can be encapsulated by the text from one of his favorite hymns:

There is a balm in Gilead, to make the wounded whole.
There is a balm in Gilead, to heal the sin-sick soul.
If you can't preach like Peter, if you can't pray like Paul,
Just tell the love of Jesus, and say He died for all.
- Balm in Gilead

The list of lives touched through Rev. Rosenberger's ministry is lengthy and will continue to extend for years to come.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing."
- 2 Timothy 4:7-8
