Who they are
The Batu Nias live in the Batu Islands archipelago, off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. Closely connected to the neighboring Nias people, they preserve ancestral customs and a culture shaped by the sea and island agriculture. Although most profess the historic Christian faith, many still face geographic isolation and a lack of biblical discipleship that transforms community life.
