In 1999, they enjoyed T P M Ohio international convention, U S A, and the deputy chief pastor Dan told him, “You should have told your testimony in this convention”. Omar replied, “If God willing I will tell another time. God helped us to publish our family testimony as a book”. Pastor Dan excitedly said, “I would like to read it”. “We will get a copy to you” politely replied Omar. Jesus answered the prayers for his youngest brother, opened doors for speech and language pathologist jobs for him and his wife in North America. After many years Omar had his family close in the same country. Jesus blessed Omar to buy another house on mortgage 10 months after his change of job in a new city.
During the 2000 convention, Pastor Dan was given a copy of the family testimony book, “Singing Nightingale in The Storm”. Next day Pastor Dan told Ayub, “I read the book over last night and I like the copies given to our churches”. Since Omar had just few copies, he got arrangement with his sister in India to send the copies to Pastor Dan; but he did not know whether it was done.
Towards the end of the year, Omar attempted to share his testimony with some of the local churches without success. During the course of his attempt, a local church Pastor Ken invited him for a breakfast at the Pantry. As Pastor Ken, his son Pastor Larry and Omar chatted at the Saturday breakfast, Omar mentioned, “The Lord gave me opportunity to work with missionaries in India”. Casually Pastor Ken added, “Many years ago we had two missionary sisters in India at a place called Kodaikanal”. Curiously Omar interrupted, “Is it Sister Margaret?” With surprise, he answered, ‘Yes”; Omar with greater surprise “Is the other one, Sister June? Similarly excited he replied, “Yes”. Omar was spell bound, looked at them quietly overwhelmed with shock and emotion, and thought how God is miraculous in causing them to meet. “I worked with them in preaching the gospel and at the Bible school”. They were equally surprised to meet a man in their home town from their missionary work for the first time 50 years after the beginning of their mission work. No one expected about such a thing to happen. As they talked about God’s ministry through these missionary sisters in India, Omar asked, “How are these sisters doing and where are they now? They replied, “Well, Sister June is ministering in Portland; Sister Margaret is suffering from Alzheimer since 1995 or 1996 and is in a care facility”; it was a big shock for him as it seemed too late for him to contact Sister Margaret; he tried to digest it and returned home with a heavy heart burdened with prayer for her; he explained it to his wife. Soon as he phoned Sister June, she immediately recognized his voice without introduction; she also explained about Sister Margaret and said, “Sister Margaret remembers some of the things and is content. I minister to the senior citizens in a church here”. Omar got on line with Sister Margaret; he spoke slowly with sadness and doubt whether she would remember him, “Sister! I am Omar from Vadugapatti, living here” and paused for her response to see whether she could recognize him. Immediately but slowly she replied in a very feeble voice, “You have come a long way; good to hear from you”. Her recognition brought comfort to him; after few moments of few words, she said, “let us keep in touch” and hanged up.
In the beginning 2001 January, Sister June visited Omar family on her way to and from India; they took her around for sight seeing, and had good time sharing about the Christian brethren and their ministry in India. During the Good Friday and Easter break Omar with his wife visited Sister June at Portland, U S A; and enjoyed sharing his testimony in her church. He met Pastor Kennington and his wife who visited these missionary sisters and the churches in India about 25 years ago. Meanwhile Omar talked to Sister Margaret few times; her communication was reduced to almost nill as well as her hearing and sight were extensively impaired; so he lost her contact; but he just kept in contact with the care facility staff regarding her health which was generally good.
