Who they are
The Lingarak live on the island of Malekula in Vanuatu and share in the rich cultural traditions of Melanesia. Their villages maintain strong community ties rooted in farming and respect for ancestral customs passed down orally. The Christian faith is part of daily life in the community, which seeks to preserve its linguistic identity and strengthen biblical discipleship among younger generations.
