million nationwide.
Sadly, the churches that minister to Native people are few and far between. In NM,
the Assembly of God Native American mission churches number less than 20. The
majority of the pastors of these churches are not Native, and most are over the age
of 60. The “mission” movement is dying with these aging missionaries. This
probably repeats all across the country. Among these churches, it is hard to find a
pastor that will accept Native ways of worship.
According to statistics, the number of churches may be diminishing, but the physical
and spiritual needs of the Native American people has not. The effects of diabetes,
poverty, and living in substandard conditions has led to alcoholism, depression, and
suicide. The rates are among the highest in the nation. These people need
someone to share love and compassion and the love of Jesus with them. Contrary to
what most people believe, these tribes getting casinos, has not “fixed” the problem, in
a lot of cases it has made it worse.
God has called us to minister to the Native American people on a national scale.
Native Christian Way was created to not only minister to Native people, but train up
ministers to open new churches or pastor churches in need. These pastors will also
receive training in sustaining a church, and building a ministry to expand into their
surrounding areas. One of our goals is to see a full gospel church in every tribal
center in the United States.
In addition to training pastors, we have a distribution program that helps minister to
the physical needs of the people. We have partnered with Gifts in Kind, International
and receive product donations from major retail stores for distribution. These
donations include clothing, household and personal items, books, and toys. We are
implementing a literacy promotion through this partnership. We receive the
donations and take the items to various places across NM to distribute to those in
need. Future plans include expanding the distribution throughout the rest of the
country.
These programs do not happen without cost. Currently our monthly costs for our
programs are about $7500.00. This does not include office/warehouse space. We
are working toward larger facilities to accommodate this vision.
We are writing to ask you to prayerfully consider joining our team through your
