We received this amazing Testimony about a Chuch in Oecusse from Pastor Elienae at our Radio Voz team in Dili, Timor Leste. It is encouraging to hear how God’s Church continues to thrive even after great persecution, God is Faithful!
In 2010, a Church in Oecusse was shut just after its inauguration, due to violent persecution. The local authorities decided to stop the church activities to avoid any more problems or issues that could arise. But what was supposed to be a short closure period of time, actually took 12 years to reopen. So for the past 12 years, the believers worshiped in a small straw house. Then in December 2022, the local court made a courageous decision in favor of the church and allowed it to reopen. At the beginning of 2023, we renovated the church building and started to use it again for worship services. The video below is a clip from Pastor Elienae speaking in Portuguese about this historic moment.
I am glad to connected with such kind of media ministry page. I have started listening this program from last one year from that day I never missed it. I am very much blessed to listen this every morning and love to share with my church’s member and family members .
This book has become one of the supporters of our ministry as well. Similarly this daily devotion helped around members to grow more and more towards His presence .
We are really thankful for this ministry family.

Greetings,
I am very much Thankful to you all of you, for your hard effort in such a difficult situation. The Word for Today is my daily capsule. I got motivated and blessed every morning through word of God shared by Message of Hope Nepal. And this book has become one of the mediums to carry answer to my questions and solutions to my problems. Every day It inspires me to read the Scriptures and personally it has helped me to gain Biblical knowledge in different ways and reflect on it. I am thankful to the writers who have written these powerful messages.
