You know Joris Linssen as a presenter of the popular TV program Hello Goodbye or perhaps as a singer of Caramba. But on Saturday evening he goes into the church. Linssen is then a pastor in the Open Hof in Kampen, where the Babayants family who have been exhausted for more than eight months have been given a church shelter for more than eight months.
On just a sunny day, the presenter, artist and writer in Kampen is approached by a couple. The couple tells him about the Babyants family who gets church shelter in the city. The story touches him so that he decides to take action.
Whether he comes filming in the church, the couple asks Linssen, who enjoys the sun during a break. Because after eight months of church shelter, the Babayants family still sits there 24 hours a day. The family, with four children now, fled from Uzbekistan almost twelve years ago. The family, who did not receive a residence permit, is threatened with deportation and approached the church in Kampen. If they come out, the family can be picked up and turned off.
The story of the Babayants family affects the presenter of the television hits, among others Taxi,, ” Joris’ Showroom and Hello Goodbye. “I like to stand up for people who are in the corner where the blows fall and who fight against injustice.” This Saturday he is therefore ahead between 6 pm and 10 pm during two services in the church.
