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

Ryan Kennedy. I work among the Hatam people, ever since I was a child growing up in their culture. I have been working with them professionally since 2014.
