At the end of April we visited Timor Leste to spend time at the mission ministering to the people of

Saburai village, in particular the leper community at the far end of the village. The road from Dili to Saburai has greatly improved over the last year so Tina decided it was time to visit the mission for the first time.

We will start the first post of the visit by showing you some of Dili, the capitol of Timor Leste. From Brisbane the travel entails a Brisbane to Darwin flight and then a relatively short flight from Darwin to Dili. Then it is roughly a five hour drive from Dili to the mission house at Saburai.

We will see you again for Part 2 when we commence our work in Maliana and Saburai.

Till then, trust you will enjoy the post

Blessings

Trevor and Tina
