Hello, I am Felix. I came to the Sundermeier Home in Gleno, Timor-Leste when I was 22. I started high school late because my father passed away when I was a teenager, and I needed to help my mother by working and looking after my younger siblings. After graduating from high school, I wanted to become a pastor. I moved to the Dunamis House in Dili and completed two years of Bible school. I am now attending online courses with Arrows College (www.arrowscollege.com) in Perth, and will return to Sundermeier Home next year to serve as chaplain. My dream is to minister to the youth and be a blessing to the community that has cared for me. Thanks to SSS. Thanks for the mentoring by MMS missionaries. I can achieve my dream! I can share my God-given talents! I can be the salt and light in Timor-Leste!
