Dear Friends:
It was on December 23, 1974, that the Lord spoke to my heart in the area of what is now known as contextualized ministry. My ministry was simple: put on your outfit, sing, dance and share the love of Christ and His finished work on the cross, and salvation by faith in Christ, wherever the Lord would open the doors. Since then my ministry has gotten a little more complicated, but the message is still the same. I do not know if anyone was on the same path or spiritual journey at the same time, but my mission was clear and my desire to reach others for Jesus Christ through my culture was clear. In 1994, the Lord gave me the vision to start our Native church service. I was not sure what we would be doing in a Native church service, but whatever it was going to be, it had to be different and geared to our Native culture.
