I have a strong burden for the Native Americans to be saved! I believe that the first step is intercession. We need to intercede for these people. We need to pray that God will break the spiritual bondage of sin that is destroying them. We need to show them who Jesus really is. I was in a momment of intercession one day as God placed a crippling burden upon my soul and spoke to my heart and said; I love them, if they only knew how much I really love them, they are my people. I felt God's pain, I felt how much God loves the Native Americans. If we can just set aside our prejudice and bias thoughts about their ways and look  past their sinful acts and see their heart as God does, then God would send revival to the reservations. Although we christians who believe in the Apostolic Doctrine and the Holy Fire from heaven have to GO, we have to go and tell them about the LOVE of JESUS. They don't know unless we tell them. God does not have a respect of persons. we all have sinned and we all can be forgiven!

I have a friend from Montana that is N.A. and grew up on a reservation.  She really thought that though they didn'thave the revelation of Jesus that they served the same one true God.  Until this last time she went to visit and it was during some celebration, she saw that there were very real demonic goings on.  They cut themselves and pierce body parts to connect them w/ "the spirit."  She has a burden for all of them.  Suicide is high, addiction is prominant and the men, at least from this particular tribe, only tout their masculinity but have little to no action to back it up.  Making most women the sole providers and thus more masculine.

It's not that I don't have a burden for specifically N.A. because I want to see ALL people saved, not one over the other.  However, here you don't see obvious N.A's and there are no reservations.  It is so diverse here, I wouldn't know someone was specifically N.A. compared to the possibility of another ethnicity. So any natives here are going to be integrated into regular American society. My friend is light skinned and looks Asian, the diversity of N.A. is so vast.

I have friends who lived in Ashland, Wi and Ironwood, Mi... and they had some Native Americans who would come to church. The chief came very close to getting the Holy Ghost, but in the end rejected the fact that there really is only 1 God... and not the many that he was content to serve. I do know that they fought heavily with witchcraft in those cities. To my knowledge there is not a functioning Apostolic church in either one of those cities presently.

There is another reservation south of where I am located, not sure if there is a church that is currently working with the reservation or not. I do know that they have Casinos all over the area though.

Definitely something to keep praying about. God knows, and as with many closed groups (I went to Guatemala last yr, and the Indigenous Mayans are similar) unless you are welcomed into their group, or one of their group gets the knowledge and receives the Holy Ghost... it is a tough journey, although definitely not impossible, because it is God after all... but it seems that using a Native of the culture seems to work better than some random guy from Rural Wisconsin... I intend to become fluent in Spanish and go back to Guatemala at some point in time. The people there are starving (literally and spiritually), and there are lots of areas where there isn't an Apostolic church or influence.

Good topic :)  And welcome to the board! :)

There's a pretty good church in Ashland, WI. Been to it several times.

Mel knows an Indian gal from my old church that has since backslid. She left FL and moved back home and left the church and got divorced. (Angie)
