Who they are
The Maden are an indigenous community living on the island of Salawati, in the Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua. With a strong connection to the forests and coastal waters of their homeland, they preserve traditional customs and their native language. Although most identify culturally with Christianity, many still need to experience deep, personal biblical discipleship in their own language.
