Doing God's work among different people groups

Your faith in God and life, in general, are affecting God's work among different people grouped by the culture of your people, religion, theology, attitude, and needs.  What can be done to help you?

E.g., People from Iconium Acts 14:8-13 ; People from Athen Acts 17:16-24 In mission terms, every group of people in one place are characterised by:

  1. Culture

  2. Religion

  3. Theology

  4. Attitude

  5. Needs.

  • People from Ghana:
    Ghanaians are nice and friendly and like good things. However, they despise/ don't respect small things and so do not see opportunities in life. They do not like to support development, so they kill their heroes and breadwinners by draining them or, once they become strong, kill them. Ghanaians killed their best-ever President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

  • People from Nigerian
    Nigerians are very ambitious; they always seek opportunities, believe in big things, and will do everything to become great (good or bad). When you walk with a Nigerian, you will start thinking big. They don't care what they do to get what they want. They bring the same mindset to the Christian faith. Nigeria has some of the biggest churches in the world; even the biggest churches in Europe are Nigeria churches.

  • People from Kenya
    are more Westernised and have embraced Western theology as well.

  • People from Uganda are harmless and polite, settle with little things, are not too ambitious and like partying, having fun, etc. But they will never harm you. 

  • People from India and Pakistan.
    Christianity in these regions is persecuted; the rich do not become Christians, but the poor turn to Christ for help; thus, most of the believers are the poor or outcasts; the Christians there do not know how to do big things for God; they use the things of God for themselves, not for the expansion of the kingdom.

  • Caribbeans in The UK
    The first generation were believers by default. The second were both believers and well-educated; the third are educated, less believers, but ambitious, and always think they can do more; most of them are leaders at their workplaces; they love quality and expensive lives; the fourth generation have rejected God completely, and are struggling with their identity, purpose, how to live.

  • Zimbabweans.
    People from Zimbabwe are very intelligent, polite, and easy to get along with. Because of their history (Zimbabwe used to be the bread  basket), they do not know how to fight for things in life;
