by Ab Nur Good question! It all started when my wife felt pity for her Islampuri* classmates at AIIAS’ Big 4 Islamic Studies program. She saw that they had no laptop and asked me if we have any old laptop we can give to them. The only laptop we had at PFM that no one was using had a problem with the “hinge” of the LCD screen. It needed to be propped up so it would flip down. In spite of its condition, the two Islampuri brothers I met with to explain about the laptop’s “special user specification” were very happy and very thankful for it. That was two years ago. Last year, I got to know these Islampuri brothers better, especially Alif* and Hajji*. One of the things I learned about them is that they were actual practitioners of Muslim evangelism. What was amazing to me was when the Big 4 Program Director commented that Hajji had won 2,000 Muslims for the Lord!

by Ab Nur "Why are you in Islampur?" People come up to me and ask. After being there for 11 days now (and being stranded in Damam City because of the persistent transportation strikes) I could not help but ask the same thing to myself! My first visit to Sagada was in May 2009. It was just a trip to celebrate the completed evangelistic crusades of our missionaries assigned in Tinoc (Ifugao) and Bakun (Benguet). Abner and I brought our faithful Toyota Tamaraw FX, and together with our kids, packed the vehicle with our stuff and the missionaries for an overnight tour. It was a memorable trip for all of us. Many members of us either got car-sick or had stomach trouble because of the water we drank there. |
