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.
In 2012, Mario and Keila planted a church in Reynosa, Mexico, called Camino de Fe. Mario is the pastor of the church and the spiritual oversight for Isaiah 55. Keila organizes community outreach, ministers to young women, and leads a tutoring program in the Aquiles Serdán neighborhood, which surrounds the mission. Additionally, they hold weekly neighborhood Bible studies, manage two boys’ soccer teams, lead a vocational program, and plan to plant a church in the Aquiles Serdán area soon.
