PETER HALLIMAN, Fred’s son, was born in 1961 in ​Papua New Guinea (PNG). Post war, Peter’s parents ​moved to PNG to build a Christian missionary outpost ​to spread God’s word.

Peter is a dual US/PNG citizen. His family’s unique ​history of living, working with, and helping the ​people of PNG has granted him an extensive ​framework of tribal family and friends throughout ​decades and generations.

Over the past 50 years, Peter has helped thousands of ​locals and dozens of different tribes as a Christian ​Missionary. He has gained a bond stronger than blood ​and earned a trust that no other white man, as the ​locals term it, ever has.
