There are many refugee people groups in the US also. Our church is reaching out to the Rohingya people in the Milwaukee area, refugees from Myanmar, where they are persecuted; there are 1000s of them. They don't have a Bible in their language, so we've started a translation effort. They are Muslims, but we look for a harvest of souls someday.
Phenominal

Anxiously anticipating another answer
When teaching in Owatonna, Minnesota, we had a huge influx of Somalians into that (and other) small towns. I had my students challenged to try to get to know some and become friends/witness to them. Found THAT group to be extremely insulated, not opening up to normal interaction with our students. Part of this was the mentality that they did not HAVE to assimilate as previous generations of immigrants, trying to learn language, adopt customs, join in activities with us "Minnesota nice" people.
Now retired in Wisconsin and finding the first-generation Hispanic moving into areas that were traditionally German in the older generation. Our church has a large ESL program, and such a blessing to see the missional outreach.
I would love to hear how God is using others in this manner
I just taught a class which had 9 in it: a Canadian, one from a limited access country, a Chinese, a Japanese, a Peruvian, and four Americans!
We recently learned that a group of Rohingya men have completed the NT into their language and are working on the OT. However, a couple of days ago two were arrested, probably just being persecuted just for being in that people group in that country. Satan hates the Bible and wants to stop its translation into whatever language.
Isn’t it crazy how God is using various people to reach other people groups?
You misspelled "miraculous" bro
