Who they are
The Baham are an Indigenous people who inhabit the Bomberai Peninsula in the province of West Papua. As one of the Indigenous peoples of New Guinea, they preserve their own language and a way of life rooted in the tropical forests and farming. Although most have historically professed the Christian faith, many still lack solid biblical discipleship in their mother tongue.
