Who they are
The Elepi are a small indigenous people who live in the forests and hills of northern Papua New Guinea. Living in traditional villages, they support themselves through family farming and hunting, keeping their mother tongue and communal practices alive. Although the Christian faith has played a significant role in the group’s history, they still need in-depth discipleship and accessible spiritual resources in their own language.
