180 His Mission, Our Mission Br Bernd Ruffing SVD: “I Tried to be a Brother to Those Who Needed Someone” Note: This article was originally published on March 29, 2016 on the SVD Australia website. As he farewells Thailand and the AUS Province to take up work with refugees in the German Province, Br Bernd Ruffing SVD recalls his ministry in Thailand as being a journey of friendship and relationship with the people. “I tried to be a brother to those who needed someone who’d walk with them for some time,” he says. “This walking with someone is to me, based in the Gospel. There isn’t much theory about it. ‘Go and do likewise’, Jesus said. That’s what I tried to do and that’s how I would say I sometimes encountered God.”
