Prophecy over 1st Nations
Ministries / Apostolic Council
“I the Lord thy God will empower
and equip you. For you have heard the Macedonian cry to
come over and help. I will put resources in your hands
and surround you with apostolic company and alignment. I
will give unto you new favor and cause many groups to
bring forth resources to help accomplish my will in your
lives, and in the lives of your people the 1st Nations
peoples. There is a shift taking place I will remove
some heavy weights and give unto you a fresh new yoke
and my strength. You are entering a new season in which
you will experience a refreshing wind behind you. This
wind blowing will cause your 1st love to rise up in a
new joy. I say unto you Rejoice in what God is doing in
this hour” Apostle Barbara Wentroble - Crow Nation Bible Conference.

Our
Mission is to build the body of Christ by
equipping Native American ministers and churches
through providing resources, education, and
support.
1st-Nation Ministries is an apostolic
network of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists,
Pastors, and Teachers who work together for the
building of the Native church.
1st
Nation Ministries is not a denomination.
We work with pastors and churches from many
different Christian organizations. Leaders who
connect with this ministry connect on the basis of
relationships and common goals. Our desire is to
see Native churches grow and multiply. We provide
training, and pastoral support through
conferences, Bible teaching materials, children’s
ministry, youth resources, and counseling support. |

1st
Nation Ministries can provide credentials for
the ministry and ordains Native American
ministers who have demonstrated a calling and an
anointing upon their life. Ministers who desire to
affiliate with 1st Nation Ministries must be in
agreement with our statement of faith and purpose.
Affiliation is based upon relationships and common
goals. Ministers are expected to maintain a biblical
lifestyle of holiness as well as consistent prayer and
Bible study. Sincerely yours Pastors Fred and
Wanda Smith and the Apostolic council of 1st-Nations
ministries. |

ARTICLES OF FAITH
First Nation Ministries is an evangelical Christian outreach
with its roots in the Pentecostal tradition. While upholding our
distinctive doctrines, we work alongside pastors and leaders of
many denominations to achieve our common goal of building the
Kingdom of God.
The Holy Scriptures
The Bible is the very word of God; it is inerrant, infallible.
Inspired and the final revelation of God to man. The Bible is the
guide to faith and salvation.
The Doctrine of God
There is only one living and true God, Creator and Sustainer
of the universe. God exists in three persons; God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The Doctrine of Christ
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, the second person in
the Trinity. God, in His eternal purpose chose His Son to be the
mediator between God and man. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary,
was made under the law, did perfectly fulfill the law, suffered,
was crucified, and died. He was buried, yet saw no corruption; and
on the third day, He arose from the dead. He ascended into heaven
where He lives to make intercession and from where He rules until
all His enemies are made His footstool.
The Doctrine of Salvation
By his fall, Adam brought sin into the world and every person
is now born with a nature to sin. God provided salvation from our
sins and eternal damnation through the suffering of Christ.
Salvation is attained by confessing sin and professing faith in
Christ as Savior and Lord. Salvation is by grace; is wholly the
gift of God received by faith.
The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the God head; He
convicts of sin, guides believers, and is the agent of
regeneration. Believers can be filled with the Holy Spirit with
the evidence of speaking in other tongues and can operate in the
supernatural gifts of the spirit.
The Doctrine of the Church
The universal church consists of all true believers. The
church is commissioned to make disciples of all nations and thus
establish the Kingdom of God.
The Doctrine of Last Things
God has appointed a day when He will judge all men by His Son
and destroy the last enemy (death) at the return of His Son.
Heaven awaits believers who will spend eternity with God. A
literal hell awaits unbelievers who will spend eternity separated
from God.
