Who they are
The Gorakor form an Indigenous community who inhabit the mountain slopes and valleys of Morobe Province in Papua New Guinea. Speakers of their own Austronesian language, they organize their social life around family clans, farming, and a strong connection to their traditional territory.
Christianity has been part of their history for generations, woven into daily village routines and community life.
