                                Genesis 28-36

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.
