It is significant that this recent talk of 'faith' in reference to this allegedly cash-strapped region, has had nothing to do with Islam or Christianity. For several decades Dubai has become synonymous with extravagant wealth - a city where money can buy almost anything. But the recent economic recession has caused Dubai to tumble into financial difficulties.
In the midst of this financial downturn, the world's tallest building, the impressive Burj Khalifah, opened with a spectacular fireworks display in Dubai at the beginning of 2010. The building was opened by Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum who described the tower as 'the tallest building ever created by the hand of man.' What's it look like?

Christmas is nearly upon us and it is so easy to get caught up in the madness. Shopping, decorating the tree, writing cards, preparing for the big feast... How often do we get sidetracked by all the ‘activity’ and forget that we are celebrating the birth of God’s one and only Son - and the purpose of His human life!
In Isaiah 9 it is written:
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

What good could come from that?
I was numb as I read about the deaths of AWM workers Salah and Shaline Adam, along with their two children Joshua and Rebecca (pictured below). That was 10 years ago.
Salah had been a truth-seeking Muslim from Sudan. He had run competitively in his home country, where his parents and extended family lived. Shaline had ministered with AWM in Algeria for seven years and had returned to Toronto to reach out with the love of Christ to Muslims there.
They met in Toronto in 1990 when Salah began to attend a Bible study for international students, led by Shaline. The Lord drew Salah to himself and Salah began to attend Morningstar Christian Fellowship.
Salah and Shaline began to realize that they were attracted to each other. After a year of seeking ‘peaceful assurance’, they were married in 1993. The births of their children ...
