Who they are
The Kenyah Wahau are an Indigenous Dayak people living in the forests and river basins of eastern Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo. Traditionally organized into riverside villages, they have a rich cultural heritage of handicrafts, music, and community cooperation. Although most profess the Christian faith, ongoing discipleship and a deeper understanding of the Bible remain vital to strengthening the local church amid the changes of modern life.
