Introduction / History

The Hatam people are a tribal group who received missionaries in the 1960s. They embraced the gospel whole heartedly and have been growing spiritually ever since.


What Are Their Lives Like?

They are mainly living in villages as farmers. Many, however, have transitioned to the city life, studied in Jakarta, and even risen as high as the governor and mayors of West Papua.


What Are Their Beliefs?

They are mainly Protestants, but they are still transitioning away from tribal beliefs.


What Are Their Needs?

Bibles and Bible Literature. The current worker is distributing as many Bibles and Bible resources and audio Bibles as he can, but his work funds are not enough on their own to get the much desired Bibles to all 413 villages/churches/locations.


Prayer Points

Pray they grow in the vast knowledge of Bible Literature that has been written in their own language by previous missionaries, and the people get easy access to it all.
Pray for spiritual hunger among this people group.
