The plan is to reach every “nation” with the good news of Jesus Christ. The word “nations” here is the Greek word ethnae which means “nations” or “people groups.”
A “nation” or “people group” is an ethno-linguistic group with a common self-identity that is shared by the members. There are two parts to that word: ethno and linguistic. Language is a primary and dominant identifying factor of a people group, but a historically common culture is integral to their identity, too. So, when God looks at the world, He does not divide the world into geo-political countries, but into ethno-linguistic people groups.
Kelley Herring, State Director of Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF). CEF is a Bible-centered, worldwide organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living. The purpose of CEF is accomplished through the primary ministries of Good News Clubs® (GNC) that meet in places such as elementary schools, community centers, neighborhoods, etc., and the summer ministry of 5-Day Clubs® which can be compared to an on the road VBS. The third primary ministry is Christian Party Clubs which are one-time evangelistic events that happen year-round. Please pray for CEF of Alabama as it comes alongside to help guide the local chapters of North Alabama, Greater Birmingham, Central Alabama, and Southwest Alabama and as it helps new start new chapters across the state.
