Who they are
The Ansus inhabit the southern coast of Yapen Island and neighboring islets in Papua province, Indonesia. A people with Austronesian roots and a deep connection to seafaring, they preserve their language and sustain their community through fishing and coastal resources. Although the vast majority have inherited a traditional Christian faith, the current challenge is to deepen their biblical understanding and discipleship in their own language.
