Who they are
The Nimowa inhabit small islands in eastern Papua New Guinea, living in close harmony with the ocean and tropical forests. Speakers of the Rifao language, they preserve strong community ties and family traditions passed down through generations. Although Christianity is part of their history and daily life, ongoing discipleship remains essential to the spiritual strengthening and maturity of their local communities.
