Pray for the world

- Pray for the Bunu. The Bunu, whose name means “us people,” are a mi-nority in China. Although grouped under one ethnicity, they speak several different languages. Bunu culture is matriarchal, meaning that wives are the heads of the family. The Bunu are one of the largest groups in China without a single known church among them. Pray that the gospel to reach them in truth and love.
