M. GHULAM YASIN Missionary New York 1947-1956 Maulvi Ghulam Yasin Sahib served the Jamaat as Missionary in New York from 1947 to 1956 and was a very sincere and devoted person. He was a graduate of Political Science and History and wanted to study law, at the Punjab University, when he heard the call of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II (May Allah be pleased with him) and dedicated his life for the service of Islam and Ah- madiyyat. During his stay in New York M. Ghulam Yasin lived and worked at an old brownstone house in the West 80's. At that time the New York Jamaat consisted of 40 persons - 30 men and 10 women. Before coming to the United States he served in England for one year after completing his missionary training at Qadian. He was very active in the missionary work and was often invited to deliver lectures at the New York University and in churches in Boston, Philadelphia, Hartford, Camden, Newark, Patterson, West New York and Long Island. A FORMER NEW YORK MISSIONARY's REMINISCENCES by M. Masud Ahmad Jhelumi It was a cold morning in March 1961 when I landed at the Inter- national Airport of Amsterdam in Holland as a missionary to that country. This was my first assignment abroad. Our beautiful Ah- madiyya Mosque is located at The Hague in a nice quarter of the town. Hardly about three weeks had passed when I received a telegram from Vakil-ut-Tabshir, Rabwah instructing me to proceed to Germany. I first served at Hamburg for about 8 years and then at Frankfurt for s ix months prior to my departure for the United States in November 1975. 16
