Clarity Week 14
Genesis 27 - 28:1-5
Throughout May, we want to intentionally focus our prayers to the Musi 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 is some information on the Musi and 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 Musi people will not give your praise to idols. Isaiah 42:8
Lord, send missionaries to declare your glory among the Musi people, Your marvelous deeds among the Musi people. Psalm 96:3
Lord, I pray that “all the Musi people you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; I pray the Musi people will bring glory to Your name.” Psalm 86:9
Lord, may You be exalted over all the Musi people, Your glory above the heavens. Psalm 113:4
