Dear ,
While no fieldworkers have been able to visit Timor Leste during 2020, we are very thankful that the country has experienced little effect from the corona virus. We do miss the personal contact with our brethren and sisters however, and look forward to when we can visit the members of the Dili Ecclesia, once again. Our Lord may return before we have that opportunity and we certainly look forward to the reality of the Kingdom when all from “every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” will be united with our Lord.
While the ecclesia is based in the capital Dili, we do have brethren in many parts of the country in isolation. Employment is difficult to find in Dili so some of our brethren have returned to their home districts. Some are in Dili; others have found seasonal work in Australia.
Registration of the Christadelphians in Timor Leste is currently being set up. The country is 98% Catholic, but to gain some recognition, to be seen by the public as a legitimate organisation, and to establish a building suitable for ecclesial activities, it is an advantage to register as a “church”. We hope this will help with the spread of the Gospel message until our Lord returns.
