All in a day's life

I went with YWAM Berlin and Teen Challenge. We broke into groups of 2's - Our purpose - PRAYER!
We walked with them during the whole march.
The march for the most part was peaceful. Lots of cheering and flag waving. Flags for a free Palestine for a free Kirgastan for the release of political prisoners... socialists... anti capitalists... and anarchists.
They are the ones known to be violent. They dress all in black and have things around their necks which they pull up to cover their faces when things get violent. In their back packs they are known to carry stones and bottles to throw among other things to fight with.
I was there on the front lines when the first clash broke out. It was intense. It was near the end of the march and the accused the police of blocking our way but then when they did let us go by violence started anyway.
After the march was over (8:30pm) darkness was quickly coming things started really heating up. We were wondering amongst the crowds. We got rushed a lot by the police we had to constantly watch our steps as they came from different directions. There was one spot where I was right in front and was face to face with a police officer pushing me back.
When things really got going we went back to the Teen Challenge cafe which was a front row seat still. From there we waited and prayed things would calm down. Often times the police came right into our little sheltered area chasing and arresting young people and dragging them away.
Around 11:00pm we felt like the police had things a little more under control and it was time for us to be heading home while it was at least a little more calm for the moment. We had to walk to a another station but we made it home around midnight.

Whoah... I never expected to be apart of that being here in Berlin.
God was faithful though... it was violent but being in the middle of it I really saw that it could have been a lot worse.
