Who they are
The Ninggerum are an Indigenous people who live in the tropical rainforests of the Fly River basin in the border region of the island of New Guinea. They traditionally make their living by cultivating the land and using forest resources, preserving deep community ties. Although the Christian faith is part of their recent history, the challenge remains to deepen its biblical roots within their culture.
