The handover of aid this time was attended by the Deputy Regent of Kupang, Jerry Manafe. The aid was handed over directly to church representatives for the entire Sion Oeli’i congregation, Kupang, NTT.

Not only that, in addition to handing over assistance from the Deputy Regent of Kupang, it was also the implementation of laying the first stone for the construction of the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor, Kupang.

“Thank you to donors who have helped us. Hopefully our church will be able to stand up again soon, and we can worship comfortably no longer under a tent” – said a member of Sion Oeli’li, Evangelical Christian Church in Timor, Kupang.
