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.
Johnny K. Hughes President, IMNA, Inc. January, 2007
