Who they are

The Nenaya are an Indigenous community in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, belonging to the Mato language group. Living in villages closely integrated with the forest and coastal environment, they preserve rich oral traditions and strong community ties. The gospel message has already been widely embraced among them, and today they seek to grow in their faith and pass it on with vigor to younger generations.
