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.
Carter and Caroline are both from Montgomery, Alabama, and they have two children, Lucy and Charlie. They started dating in East Asia and spent nearly five years there learning the language, culture, and sharing the gospel with college students. During the pandemic, the Lord changed their path and led them to join the MTW churchplanting team in Bangkok, Thailand, where they work alongside the local church and Thai national pastors. They desire to form deep relationships within their community, allowing them to share the hope of the gospel with those who have never heard. They are humbled to be called to take the gospel to Bangkok and are eager to see how the Lord will continue to use them in Asia.
