Praising God for His goodness and faithfulness - able to join a group of leaders and pastor to minister to the Iban tribe in Kanowit, Sibu, Sarawak.  Ibans were renowned for practising headhunting and tribal/territorial expansion.  They typically live in longhouses called rumah panjang.
The Ibans were traditionally animist, although the majority are now Christian, some of them Muslim and many continue to observe both Christian and traditional ceremonies.
We were there from 2-6 August 2017.
