Who they are
The Jimajima are an Indigenous community living in the coastal and forest regions of Papua New Guinea. Speakers of the Dima language, they preserve deeply rooted communal traditions connected to farming and kinship. Although the Christian faith is part of the community’s identity, many still seek to experience deeper discipleship rooted in their heart language.
