Every year for nearly forty years, we have been spending as much time as
we could  in the harvest fields of Mexico;  We discovered that many
thousands of the poorest and most gospel-deprived people of Mexico leave
their isolated villages, and concentrate themselves n the regions of
Mexico where they can find seasonal employment picking tomatoes, or
grapes, or other crops.  These are often Indian people, and speak little
or no Spanish. For that reason (and others) they have been left out of the
preaching of the gospel.  Our business is to do our best to see that they
have the opportunity to hear.

We use recordings of simple gospel messages in the many languages that
they speak (we have from http://globalrecordings.net) simple gospel
messages in about 270 such languages.  It;s part of God's plan that every
tribe and nation should hear.

By the way, That same web site has more than six thousands languages in
which they have made available gospel messages for easy download in mp3
format, and you can download them and reproduce them for the people in
your own community that speak other languages. The fact that an individual
has  a native language other than English is often an indicator that they
may not have had even the first opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ.
This is true even though they may have lived in the American (or Mexican )
society for many years, and speak English (or Spanish) with a degree of
fluency.

That is because of our unbiblical notions of "church", and how it is
supposed to 'work', and also because of deep cultural barriers that go
along with being raised in cultures in which The message of the gospel is
not readily available.

The "Jesus Movie" (from Campus Crusade for Christ) is also available in
more than 1000 languages. It's another resource that we have in about 120+
out of the toeal of about 300 of the languages of the native Indian people
of Mexico.

Check out our web site: ( http://HIsFeet.net ), and also 
http://globalrecordings.net for more information.  We also use these same
resources in the USA.  Most '99 cent' stores are operated by people of
other cultures and languages. Also most motels, and There are many other
'niches' that similar ethnic groups ('nations' is the biblical term) can
be found. For instance in California (and maybe in other places,) most
liqour stores are operated by Muslim people.  All of this we see as a
great opportunity to reach the 'nations' which are so much on the heart of
God.

I hope I haven't given you 'too much' of an answer to your question.:)
