Letter from the President
I
want to personally share with you what God is
speaking to my heart, and the vision that He has
given for IMNA, our partners, and the Native
American people.
A few months back, I saw in my spirit, an unfinished
stone wall before me, and as I looked closely at
each stone, faces of Native Americans began to
appear. As I prayed for the meaning to this vision,
the Lord spoke to my spirit and led me to
1 Peter 2:5 “...you also, as living stones, are
being built up a spiritual house...to offer up
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus
Christ.”
I began to see the wall more clearly and it was
built on a large foundation stone where the name
“JESUS”
was written. These faces, young and old, looked
longingly into my eyes and I could feel their pain
and neglect. I knew at that moment God was doing a
new thing with the direction of IMNA.
You see, we have been given an assignment to rebuild
the portion of the wall or gate that God has placed
before us. (Neh. Chpt. 3 & 4). The emphasis of this
ministry is to win the lost for Christ, and
it must be done NOW!
One
“living stone”
at a time! We must raise them up, disciple them and
help them find their place in the wall of God’s
House. My heart burns especially for the young
people. They see the generations before them and all
they see is hopelessness.
Our assignment is to show them a new way: one of
HOPE, LOVE and ETERNAL LIFE.
We just completed a youth rally in Window Rock,
Arizona where over 300 people were in attendance.
God showed up in real way and many lives were
touched that night. At the conclusion of the
service, I heard a voice crying loudly and it was
from a young boy kneeling at the altar. I began to
pray with him and soon asked why he was crying, and
he answered,
“Because I want Jesus to live in my heart.”
That is what it’s all about! I had the privilege of
praying with him and another “living stone” was
added to the House. This is just the beginning!
We are together in unity:
different denominations, different cultures and
personalities, different regions of the country, and
different social statuses; but we are
ONE
ministry, sharing the
ONE
message of Jesus Christ,
HOPE and SALVATION,
all for
ONE
God and His kingdom. This is the vision that God has
shown me. Together we will build our portion of the
wall,
one “living stone” at a time.
This year, more than ever,
WE NEED YOU
to help strengthen the bonds of our partnership
through prayer, finances and labor. The gift of
salvation is free, but the cost of ministry is
great. I pray that you will allow the Holy Spirit to
direct you in your support for IMNA, Inc.
