Who they are
The Jilim are an indigenous community in Papua New Guinea, living in forest regions where family and clan ties shape communal life. They keep their cultural traditions alive and pass their language down from generation to generation. With a strong Christian presence in their villages, the people seek to mature in biblical faith and train well-equipped local leaders.
