Mission for the Poor: Serving the people of Flores and Timor Leste

The last year has flown by and we just realized that the last visit to the Timor Leste mission at Saburai was over nine months ago and all the activities during that last visit have not been reported on. Thus, this post provides a quick recap of this visit in December 2017 to report on the MOP brothers in Maliana and witness their outreach to the people of the Saburai community. Posted here is my visit to the Nossa Senhora clinic in Dili, my visit to the public hospital in Maliana, undertaking some shopping for the mission community and visiting the Saburai village outside of Maliana.

Sit back and check out the post, and we trust that you appreciate the struggles and hardships that the poor of the world endure!

We will see you next time…!!!!

With every blessing
