Professor Morin spent 15 years in Bangladesh working with the Muslim population there, and has dedicated his life to working with Muslims. He now works for the Center for Ministry to Muslims. He does a number of teaching engagements helping missionaries prepare for their work in Muslim countries. He has a wealth of understanding and in one day has totally transformed the way I view the issues of Islam in our world.
That makes it an altogether long day. Not his fault, just the way it is when you squeeze hundreds of years from over 1300 years ago into 8 hours. We have much to cover, so each day I'm sure will be jammed packed.
I'm sharing the class with two others. One is a nurse, the other a former medical student who was healed of cancer and is now a youth pastor in Philly. Both of them are in their first class with AGTS. It is the first trip for the professor in many years, so I'm serving as guide to them, helping them find their way around campus and understanding its history.
I'm tired, and think I'll head out now and try to get a siesta (a little Spanish lingo for you) before dinner. I'm having dinner with my host family the Roberts. Paul and Tonia and their kids welcome me into their home each time I come up. They are a great blessing. They've even offered to feed me to save me additional money. I'm very grateful.
