I'm not sure if the country followed another religion or just didn't follow any. But anyways, the man looked around one day at all of God's creations and realized "Someone HAD to have created all this!". So he prayed (although he didn't know it was called prayer; he was just talking to whoever was out there) and asked for whoever was out there to reveal themself to him and show him how to know them. God spoke to him (I can't remember if it was through a dream or while he was awake) and told him that a man carrying a black book would tell him the truth about Him. A long time later, he was out one day and saw a man (a missionary) carrying a black book. He ran over to him and begged him saying "TELL ME WHO HE IS!!!!", and so the missionary did and the man got saved. You're probably going to say "It was the missionary who did it, not God"...but God told the man ahead of time who to look for.
There are also many stories similar to that of people in other countries where there aren't even any missionaries who had never heard of a God or Christianity and God revealed Himself to them through dreams and they got saved. The story that I mentioned is the only one that I remember in detail, but there are other ones that happened through dreams too without the help of any human.
So to answer your question "Why isn't He saving people from other religions?", He is.

He's doing a pretty shitty job of it tbh. There are roughly 2 billion Christians in the world right now... leaving 5 billion people condemned to hell either because they were never raised with an idea of who he is, walked away from him because he's playing an impossible hide and seek game or just started off believing in other religions in which they'd be thrown to hell if they leave their original position.
Plus, ignorance is a great way to start believing in something. That's usually how it's started. Yes there are people how either convert to Christianity or actually research about their religion. How many people can tell you that they believe in God because they went and researched about it?
If anything, god has favourites. Being 'saved' from other religions? What if you're wrong?
