Leader of Protestant Religion in Timor-Leste

Thanks for goodness of God, for giving Timor Leste a beautiful land with its trees, mountains, seas, animals, there are many local language that live in diversity of faith but mutual respect, peace and harmony.

On behalf of the Protestant Church in Timor-Leste (IPTL), I would like to thank God and congratulate to the Timor-Leste Religious Tourism Association (ATRTL) which was established on March 25, 2019 as an inter-religious organization in Timor-Leste exists until now with its dream to develop and promote religious tourism in Timor-Leste to the world.

We believe that the website of the Religious Tourism Association of Timor Leste that we are creating now, will perform its function of presenting, informing, promoting the tourism wealth of Timor Leste to the international community to pave the way for creating jobs opportunity for more people.

It is hoped that this Association can also become a bridge for ecumenical relations in Timor Leste, to create dialogue and reconciliation between religious or denominations that exist in Timor Leste so that Timor Leste can become a model for the world.

The above ideas to become a reality, so I ask the president of ATR-TL to continue to create communication with religious leaders to hear their opinions to put in the plan and program ATR-TL for the future and for good cooperation do not forget to thank me very much.

Moderator of the Synod of the Protestant Chruch in East Timor (IPTL)
