People
Who they are
The Elu are a small indigenous group living in Manus Province, Papua New Guinea. They live in coastal and island communities, preserving their traditional language and strong community ties rooted in kinship and the Pacific way of life.
Most profess the Christian faith, but limited access to materials in their mother tongue means there is an ongoing need for biblical discipleship that will strengthen younger generations.
