If you're wanting to hear God regarding the nations in our region, read Asian Geographic. Covering social issues, cultural profiles and the challenges facing different tribes in the modern world, it's a pretty amazing resource. For photo buffs, it contains seriously cool images of people groups in action.
Profiles of the Long Horn Miao tribe...

Surfacing the hidden faces: Transsexuals in Pakistan 
Highlighting the drug problem in Kabul

Asian Geographic is readily available for loan at the National Library and various branches.
