• Weather: The weather in eastern Timor
Loroae is very warm year-round. The
southern part gets more rain, while the

• Assemblies of God Facts: 161 pastors,
112 churches, 14,663 members, 1 Bible
school that is training 51 students.
LET’S PRAY…
• for more pastors to be trained and
churches to be started all over Timor
Loroae.
• for the children. Many of them lost
parents in the fighting years ago. Many
do not go to school and live in the
streets, and there are few jobs for
young people. Pray they find hope in
Jesus.
• that our missionaries can help spread
the Good News in Timor.
