Timor-leste

Please pray for WEC’s new leadership team in Timor to gel together to serve our branch members wisely in the midst of changing political, economic and visa challenges. Our new workers will spend time in a village for language practice, culture learning and relationship building. Pray for the community leaders and the influencers in that village to be drawn to this Christian presence among them and open their hearts to want to know the God they serve.

WEC’s East Timor branch are looking for a Literature and Music Producer to join their team. Pray for workers there who are already using Tetun literature and worship songs to make Christ known. Pray for their Worship Production team, to be motivated and inspired by God’s love, and pray for others with appropriate technical skills to join them. Some Timorese churches have been invited to host mission awareness events for teenagers and youth. Pray for a positive response from these churches.

MAF recently flew a team of missionaries from KuLIT and Wycliffe Timor-Leste to deliver the Book of Ruth in the Mambae dialect to Same. This is the first book of the Bible to be translated into this dialect. The translators are hoping to work on the Gospel of Mark next, pray that it won’t be long before it is also available, and that people will be hungry to read more of God’s Word.
