For much of the world outside the melting pot of the United States, and even within the United States, the primary identity of people is their ethnicity or nationality. The country or ethnic background a person is born into defines in large part who they are.

All ethnicities and nationalities were created by God in His image. In Revelations we read that people from every nation, tribe and tongue will gather around the throne of Christ. We will apparently maintain our ethnic and tribal differences, but gather as one before God.

Before the ultimate purpose of God is achieved, He is moving in all places, nations, people groups and tribes of the earth. Here are some of the stories of what God is doing in the lives of people from all ethnic and national backgrounds.
