Who they are
The Lavongai live on the island of New Hanover in New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea. They speak Tungag and maintain strong ties to the sea and the forests of their homeland, supporting their villages through fishing and farming. Although the Christian faith has been part of community life for generations, deeper discipleship and strengthening their families through Scripture remain ongoing challenges.
