My full name Adrie Oral Lolowang, I was called Adrie but more people called me oral because the name is a favorite. I was born in New Tompasa, a village in South Minahasa regency - Manado - North Sulawesi on 5 -10-1972. I was born to a pastor or a family maid who is often called God's House of Levi's family, because my preacher father, my grandfather and great-my pastor was Reverend.
Th finish high school. 1991, I continued studying at the Bible School in Malang, East Java, and after graduating from Bible School in the area I was assigned directly Cullinan as Workers or Assistant Pastor. During duty in Cullinan, I live in Canary Mas until today. In 1997 I continued to study the Bible School in Cianjur, West Java., In 2003, I continue my education in high school one of the Theologian in Jakarta to get scholarship in the field of theology - S1/Sth- but not to completion. In 2005 I returned to continue higher education at the College of Theologian in Lampung Bekasi branch.
In 1995 I became a Christian Religious Education Instructor at SMA Negeri 1 - Cullinan and has participated in Guru-Guru Upgrading Christian Province on three levels ie the period in 1995, 1999 and 2003 conducted by the Christian Guidance West Java, and stop being a lawyer Jar after embracing Islam. After becoming part time teachers for 10 years, supposedly in the year 2006, I will follow the appointment of civil servants as a religious teacher Krsiten but canceled because of Islam.
In 2003, I am entrusted to lead the Church Cooperation Agency churches in the same level as the Secretary for the period 2003-2007, but in the year 2004, I decided to not active in the Church Cooperation Agency. My last position was as a shepherd or leader of a church congregation and stop after embracing Islam.
Islam is the last and complement
For two to three years I have harbored and buried in the inner turmoil and rebellion, I feel that I have gained an understanding of the Christian religion, it seems there must be something that complements all of which I believe. The more probing the truth about the Bible in lessons Theologian more I get the possibility of errors in the Bible. The more I learn about the Bible the more I find that Islam is able to improve my confidence which has been learned in Comparative religion.
And the end of all the turmoil and rebellion that is in my inner self is that I realized that I felt confident and concluded Islam as Religion and Religion Last falsifies.
However, if I then immediately decided to embrace Islam and religion meniggalkan my pride, my father, my grandfather and my great-grandfather?
That's impossible ... ....
My little heart said: 'Look at your job and see your family, who have given their lives for sufficiency and pride in this, would you leave it all to embrace Islam? Is Islam able to change jobs and positions for your future? "
Exactly what my little heart said, after embracing Islam if I can get the adequacy of life or even pride, if I could get a job after I converted to Islam, or I am ready to take all the risks that may occur due to decide to convert to Islam?
These questions continue to fluctuate, giving birth to doubt and rebellion in me, although I already know the truth of Islam, but, I do not dare to take risks to get out of the Christian and release what I can for this.
I do not know what I should do, but I started doing resistance and rebellion, who actually do not need, ranging from the fight against the leadership of the church which I think he is mistaken in their policy until the rebellion that I do in the family, for example, I am often not home until months and months just to hide the truth in the inner turmoil and I often do things that are not good, for example, I once approached a Muslim woman may not be accepted by the Church for Pastor and Teacher of Religious Affairs office. Christians can not be stained by association with a woman not his wife. I often took the family's belongings on the rebound dissatisfaction in some of the things I encounter in my family.
However, I still do the job as Pastors and Teachers of Religion, as before, and what I was doing all it can be said definitely full of hypocrisy. Until finally, as Head of the Church and a teacher, I started doing things that are not true because I am starting to wonder about what all this time I believe and no doubt I can hide these attitudes.
The decision to Islam
18-11-2005 Friday at around 15:00 pm, after the teaching of Christian Religious Education Committee and directs the Student Christian Christmas 2005 which I directed, with the mind and the mind racing, which should finish the job I went straight home, but I just turned directions for looking for a mosque and a religious teacher or scholar who can give answers to what I was looking for this and at least to circumcise me.
Coming to a mosque, I went into see the right and left while waiting for the people that I can meet to resolve the turmoil of life. It turns out I was almost 2 hours at the mosque, no one I met who was about to give instructions for me. Lalau I decided out of the mosque to search for another mosque in the hope can find someone who can give guidance to me.
Not too long finally seen the mosque tower height, so I immediately step forward on foot to the mosque and do the same as the first mosque, which saw both sides while waiting for someone who can be expected to provide clues to the problems I experienced. Apparently Allah is still extending my way to get answers to the truth, because until a few hours nobody I met who was about to give instructions for me.
Because I could not continue to wait, so I try to go into the stall next to the mosque and ventured to ask the shop keeper sn if any scholar or teacher at the mosque around this.
However, it seems that Allah Almighty is still extend my business street, because apparently the new shop keeper a month working at that place and so can not give an answer as I want, even the name of the area where he tinggalpun not know.
Finally, I remembered that in front of the road there is a foundation and there is a signpost Phone numbers Medical Foundation. Because the foundation is located close to the mosque, I thought, surely people in knowing whether there is any foundation or religious teacher scholars around the mosque. So I ventured to call the foundation and directly asked bluntly whether scholars or religious teacher there who can guide me to convert to Islam.
From the other side of the phone who I contact to give an answer that the accident was the owner of common foundations of Islam to his people. Finally, the receiver delivered by phone earlier, I met the leadership of the foundation is to be willing to Islam to me. Words of my heart, for while I will keep the Muslim's to others, I have enough self-belief of Islam.
Apparently Allah SWT still extend my determination to come to Islam, because it turns out, after I mentioned my desire, led the Foundation does not directly accept my good intentions, though according to my prejudices and preconceptions might also think most people, I would immediately received with warm welcome like a new person is born even as the new king who respected and appreciated, but it is not.
They mengintrogasi me like a suspect, asking about the identity, background and a lot of things about me in detail and carefully, they are not directly to Islam's me as I expected, but they invite me to come back tomorrow for the day-Islam about.
19-11-2005 Saturday I returned to the place, and because I have not in circumcision, as part of my path to Islam, the same day I was circumcised, and on Sunday 20-11-2005 at 18:30 AM I am guided reading two sentences and at the same creed of Islam Muhammad wearing a Syawaludin.
Until this story was written, the church has to know the-Islam's me, I still live in the church with his wife who is also head of the church, of course I can not forever dwell in the church, because the Church is my home office from the church -an and the church is only for Christians, and I should be ready expelled from the church, which means I will be separated with my family for the other path is the path to salvation of the world-the hereafter.
Prayer and support from fellow Muslim brothers, so I expect, so I was brave in the path of Islam until my death. (Al-reconciliation)
To Mr Syawaludin beloved of Allah ....,
And We have enjoined on man (do good) to his father and two mothers; his mother had conceived him in a position of weakness that stepped-up, and weaning in two tahun.Bersyukurlah Me to the two mothers and fathers, only to-children of your return. (Qur'an 31:14)
And if they strive to ascribe to me something that you have no knowledge, then do not follow them, and pergaulilah well both in the world, and those who follow the path back to Me, and then only to-children of return, then you Kuberitakan what you were doing. (Qur'an 31:15)
