Living in the atmosphere of Islam is proving-thus far-a tremendous spiritual stimulation.

One might expect an evangelical Christian missionary from 1930 to be hostile to the ideas of another religion.
Laubach combatted his loneliness by writing Letters to his Father about his work, his faith, and his deep mystic experience of God.

He felt that approaching the Moros people with education and a divine love which will speak Christ to them though I never use his name would lead to greater results.
Finding them resistant to his evangelical message, he thought that a focus on literacy would be a better method for reaching them.
After 14 years in the Philippines, Laubach traveled to Dansalan (renamed Malawi in 1956) to work with the Muslim Moros people.
During this time, he wrote the book The People of the Philippines, a history of the Islands and of religious life there.
Laubach was later appointed to the faculty of Union Theological Seminary, helping to establish the campus in Manila.
They worked among the local Catholic population and spent seven years building evangelical churches on Mindanao, one of the largest Philippine islands.
After graduating from Princeton University (1909), Union Theological Seminary (1913), and Columbia University (Ph.
D., 1915), he and his wife Emma sailed to the Philippines to begin their missionary life.
Laubach (1884-1970) was an American missionary and literacy advocate.
