Dear Brethren:

          As some of you know and others may not know, we are going to create a central website at the leading of the Lord Jesus, that will be extensively linked around the world to promote the interests, needs, callings, ministries, and vision of Native (First Nations, Host Nations, Indigenous Peoples) Believers.

          To be quite honest with you, I have never done a project of such magnitude and feel that I must be led in stages by the Holy Spirit.  Please keep us up in prayer about this.

          I feel from the Lord that the first stage is to request from as many of you that might be interested information concerning your ministry(s) (web sites, phone and or fax numbers, a brief description of your ministry) Also if you have a ministry logo or something similar you can send it to me via E Mail.  The way that this works is that pictures can be sent and put on web sites through two different types of computer file extensions.  One is the GIF extension.  The other one is the JPEG extension.  Unfortunately I have had many problems with JPEG pictures.  It has frozen the web sites where they will simply not open.  I would ask you please, if you could send me your ministry logo, to do it as a GIF image.

          We shall see how God develops this from this point.  As I had shared before, we would like to to also have a continuously updated library within the site of issues and concerns relevant not only to Native believers, but to all the Native American Nations and its peoples.  Our desire is to inform and educate not only peoples abroad but also worldwide of all races, creeds, and nationalities about the First Nations peoples, the Native body of Christ, and the issues concerning us.  There is a tremendous lack of information, and misinformation, nationwide and worldwide on these issues. 

We would also like to have a continuously updated library of needs within the Native churches as well as in the Native Nations.  My desire is to raise an awareness level worldwide of the many serious and even desperate needs that affect us and provide avenues of giving and receiving Christ’s blessings.

Another possible updated library within the site will be to post current events especially amongst First Nations believers worldwide that will allow us to network and participate in.

Let’s see what the Lord does and how He leads!  For the time being I would like to respectfully request the information to build our ministry database.

Please send the information personally to me at jealvarez@worldnet.att.net

In closing I would like to once again express my thanks and gratefulness to Brother Gene Brooks, manager of the Native Believers E Group for the freedom that he has allowed me with my fellow members of this fine E Group in proposing the site to the group as a whole.

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you.  As always please feel absolutely free to bring your suggestions to the forefront.  I desperately need them!

God Bless You,

Jose Alvarez
