News flash: We’re going to Timor-Leste (East Timor)!! Woo-hoo!
While we were in the USA, God clearly spoke to us about going to Timor-Leste, to live, love and serve the Timorese people. There was also a real sense of urgency that the Lord impressed on our hearts, so we have known that we were to go sooner than later.
Soon after we received this confirmation from God (thankfully towards the end of our USA trip!), we received an email from a lady who has previously worked in Timor-Leste as a missionary. She asked us if God had been speaking to us about Timor, to which we replied emphatically, “Yes!” God had also given this lady a vision for Timor-Leste (about 10 years ago), but particularly for the remote village of Weberek. Part of this vision involves a small team of believers living together in community, within the wider community of Weberek, just as in the book of Acts:
‘And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.’ Acts 2:42-47

God is calling us to be a part of this community of believers and to live amongst the Timorese people in the village of Weberek, so that is where we’re eventually headed! Although, we will be taking it a day at a time, and so will start by going to Dili, the capital city of Timor-Leste, via Darwin, Australia... then we’ll see where God leads us from there...
We are so grateful for all your continued prayers and for those who’d like to make a donation, we’ve included a PayPal ‘button’ on the top right-hand of this blog.
Thank you so much for all your love and support! We love you all!
Stay blessed!
