Who they are
The Damal are an indigenous people who live in the rugged mountains of central Papua. Traditionally engaged in growing sweet potatoes in the high valleys, they maintain a strong attachment to their ancestral land and community ties. Although most of the population identifies with Christianity, there is a growing need for in-depth discipleship and biblical leadership for younger generations amid rapid social change.
