Clarity Week 13
Genesis 25:19-34
Throughout April, we want to intentionally focus our prayers to the Bengkulu people on Sundays and in our small groups. This is 1 of 10 potential unreached people groups that our missionaries could eventually engage in Indonesia! Start your group off by praying together for this people group! Below are some prayer prompts.
Prayer for the Unreached People Group
You are the Lord, and that is your name! I pray your glory not be given to another. I pray that the Bengkulu people will not give your praise to idols. Isaiah 42:8
Lord, send missionaries to declare your glory among the Bengkulu people, Your marvelous deeds among the Bengkulu people. Psalm 96:3
Lord, I pray that “all the Bengkulu people you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; I pray the Bengkulu people will bring glory to Your name.” Psalm 86:9
Lord, may You be exalted over all the Bengkulu people, Your glory above the heavens. Psalm 113:4
