Knowledge Exchange

English classes in Timor have begun! Students with a range of abilities from very beginner to intermediate, as well as young children, have joined us for a 2 month series to improve their English communication skills! 😉

On other front, Elizabeth, a happy girl from Australia, has graciously joined us in Timor to volunteer her time, working as a doctor at the local hospital, and giving health lectures. Her medical knowledge and expertise, as well as her careful bedside manner has brought relief to locals who now better understand their health conditions and various ways to manage them. 

Also proficient in music and conducting, she has started a choir in the capital city of Dili to teach 4 part harmony to those eager to sing.

As we continue to share knowledge and skills, we’re reminded of the truth in Psalm 139: we are fearfully and wonderfully made. It is a blessing to share this reminder with the community, knowing that each person is uniquely gifted and has so much to offer.
