Twelve years ago, Hans Ruthner almost died in the flood. Now he built a beautiful worship house in gratitude.
During a check trip with a stormboat during the flood disaster in June 2013, Hans Ruthner and four friends (three hunters and one beekeeper) wanted to search for animals in need. But the use in Stephanshart in the Amstetten district almost cost them their own lives. Although the men grew up with the water, they knew the dangers of such floods and Ruthner’s experienced sender, they were very needed. Her boat capsized.
Rescue on the last second
With the last force they were able to stick to branches in a tree top – directly among them the cracking Danube. However, they were conscious: no one would look for it at this remote place far from the Safe Bank. “I screamed so loudly that I could go to the sky:” Herrgot helps! “Says Ruthner today.
Because of the overburdened emergency call, they had to be patient when they save, only on the 21st time they got through. Everyone was close to despair. The situation seemed even more hopeless when one of the five was omitted by the current. But everyone was saved practically at the last minute.
For Ruthner, the experiences led to a reconsideration and a lifestyle almost twelve years ago almost twelve years ago: it greatly strengthened the love for God. “On the day of the accident I understood what an army of guardians we had to have had that the salvation of my conviction continues to run through God’s hand and that we have survived all this accident alive,” he says.
From the side to the most important
The Stephansharter often tells his story as a certificate of faith and has already reported several services about it in the context. “For me, praying to God has become a small matter,” he reports. Ruthner, whom he sold for free donations for families in Nood, also wrote a book and a brochure with short prayers.
Thanks to his salvation, the Moste Vriertler, “The house of God is a testimony of faith and thanks,” Ruthner invites you to pray in the chapel.
