Love Timor Leste was birthed in September 2004 out of a burning love to support this world’s youngest nation in stepping out of its harrowing history towards nation building. A regional arm branched out from the well-established Love Singapore movement, it is co-driven by the Love Singapore churches including FCBC. Since its inception, it has been actively pursuing its founding vision by garnering international support from local and overseas churches to help adopt the 498 villages that dot all corners of the nation. Its vehicle of entry, Transformation Alliance (TA), was subsequently established as a non-government organisation (NGO) to serve as a common umbrella for all the churches to work under and transform Timor-Leste.
FCBC INVOLVEMENT IN TIMOR-LESTE As a Love Timor Leste partner church, FCBC has actively involved itself in transforming Timor-Leste and is appointed to oversee its south-eastern district of Viqueque since 2005. Now, it is working towards impacting this district – which consists of five sub-districts and 35 villages:
Village Adoption Since FCBC started to oversee the district of Viqueque in June 2005, it has officially adopted three of its villages – Bibileo, Lugasa and Fatudere. Volunteer teams that it has helped organise and send have been making continuous trips to support its district-building efforts there.
Youth Centre In Viqueque Between 1 and 9 December 2006, we ran our first two programmes for the district youth leaders of Viqueque in the Youth Centre there. This is done in support of TA’s chief priority to reach out to the vast majority of youths who are under 25 years of age in Timor-Leste.
Our Support Of TA Efforts Since 2006, FCBC has supported a slew of TA initiatives – seeking sponsorship for the distribution of essential food items to the needy, fielding a medical team to provide health care service in refugee camps and sending educators to train native teachers in Timor-Leste.
FCBC 2007 & BEYOND IN TIMOR-LESTE As FCBC participates in shaping the future of Timor-Leste through Viqueque, we continually identify new areas of focus in its economic, social and community development and discover more room for our greater commitment.
