Still Crossing Rivers to Serve

As we step into the new year, we are grateful to share a fresh update from our team on the ground in Timor-Leste through TULUN Foundation and Serving Our World.

Throughout January, our team has been actively visiting children, parents, and local communities, sharing information about ongoing programs and activities for children, young people, and community groups. Alongside this, they have been working to secure the necessary materials and equipment to ensure programs remain smooth, effective, and well-supported.

What this update doesn’t fully show—but what these photos will—is the reality on the ground.

Heavy rains have caused rivers to rise, making travel difficult and, at times, impossible by vehicle. Yet our team is not deterred. When roads end, they unload supplies, carry laptops and materials by hand, and continue on foot—crossing rivers and rough terrain—to keep their commitment to the children they serve.

This is God's love in action.
This is faith that moves forward despite obstacles.

We are deeply thankful for your continued prayers and support, which make this work possible. As our team shared:

“Thank you all for the continuous supports and prayers. Our best wishes for you to be fulfilled with freshness of mind, wisdom, and grace to endure this year. Blessings.”

Together, we continue—step by step. Thank you for standing with us as we continue to serve!
