Timor-Leste is situated on the eastern part of the island of Timor, in Southeast Asia. It also includes the nearby islands of Atauro, Jaco, and Oecusse – which is an enclave on the northwestern side of Indonesian, West Timor. 

With 13 districts and 65 sub-districts, the country covers an area of about 15 000 km².

More fact files: 

  • Capital: Dili.
  • Geographic Coord: 8°S and 126°E
  • Population: 1 383 723
  • 500 km south across the Timor Sea is Australia.

Although it is still in the top 10 of the World’s Hungriest Countries, glimpses of God’s love can be seen in people and nature.

From Timor, with Love
