Some of the Hewa people have heard the Gospel for the first time and have come to know Christ as Savior.
Missionaries are learning the culture and language of the Hewas, but God has used a young Bisorio man, Dogofili, to be the first to share the good news of Christ to this people group.
Dogofili, who was first discipled by Suduwame, a Bisorio evangelist, went to live with the Hewas and began evangelistic Bible teaching to a group.
The Bisorios have been involved in an outreach to the Hewas for some years. Odeya, a Bisorio leader, went with missionaries on their initial trip to visit this tribe. He later told the missionaries that he had not been sure how they would be received. He was even thinking that they might be killed, but he wanted the Hewas to hear of Christ.
When missionaries first moved in to this most rugged and isolated work in the Sepik region, Bisorios hiked in to help build their houses.
Missionaries Graham and Carol Townley, who used to minister among the Bisorios, wrote, "What a joy to hear how God is using the Bisorio people to extend his kingdom in PNG."
