Who they are
The Wipi are an indigenous community who inhabit the forests and riverside areas of Papua New Guinea’s Western Province. With strong ties to the land and the traditions of their villages, they communicate in their own traditional language and organize their lives around community cooperation and kinship. Although the Christian faith is part of their recent history, geographic isolation still poses a challenge to the community’s spiritual growth.
