Who they are
The Maiwala are an Indigenous people living in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. Their communities are spread along the coast and across rural areas, preserving traditional customs, strong family ties, and a language of their own. Christianity is part of community life, but many still seek to weave biblical truths more deeply into everyday village life.
