Who they are
The Bukawa inhabit the coastal strip along the Huon Gulf in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. A people of seafarers and farmers, they preserve their native language and rich cultural traditions connected to the sea and community life.
Although they have professed the Christian faith for several generations, local communities still seek deep biblical discipleship that will strengthen younger generations and overcome remnants of ancestral spiritual practices.
