Meeting a distant and lonely world
April 2020
The Response Team has spent the past few months considering some growing trends in the world and in how we talk with people online. For instance, as our percentage of international conversations has increased, the need to appreciate cultural differences becomes even more critical. The result has seen us add new resources for volunteers to […]
Dramatic growth in volunteer base
April 2020
Need Him Global’s response model has been built upon having faithful volunteers that desire to meet all people and share the Gospel. We have been fortunate over the years to have many that fill that description. We also keep looking for new and creative ways to find even more. Recently we have seen our international […]
Sharing hope in uncertain times
April 2020
Using media to share the Gospel and offer an electronic means to respond has never been more relevant in our lifetime. We have seen God use the ministry in many different ways over the past two plus decades. However, it is even easier to see Him at work right now. The massive social changes brought […]
How can we pray for your family?
January 2020
At any given time, families can be going through really challenging issues that threaten to pull them apart. If you are lucky enough to not be there right now, then the holiday season may have at least reminded you of other ways families struggle to get along. Sometimes the issues are not particularly life changing. […]
Where would you go for help?
January 2020
We live in a world full of pain. Our struggles come in many shapes and when one problem goes away there often is another coming. As a ministry, we feel the weight of how broken the world is by the sheer number, depth and variety of issues that we receive. As believers, we understand that […]
Leveraging partnerships for kingdom growth
January 2020
In a world overcrowded by competing forms of information and media, it can be difficult to reach the right audience with your message. We have more information than we need or would have ever imagined on our phones. We also have more entertainment options on various platforms than we could ever consume. Additionally, we now […]
”Who is John and is 316 the Page Number?”
October 2019
This was the response I received the first time I tried to share John 3:16 with a seeker. I wish I could say it was a unique experience but it is actually quite common. The encouraging news according to a Barna Research Group is that we live in a country where people own and revere […]
Are You a Gateway or Roadblock to Christ?
October 2019
I recently was revisiting memories of conversations my grandparents and older relatives would have around the family table. They would lament how the world was “falling apart”. There were predictions of doom and gloom for future generations with no real hope for change. Being part of this ministry, we can feel that pressure as we […]
Welcome Our Newest Board Members
October 2019
Serving on a non-profit board is not always easy. Need Him Global asks a lot from our board members so we go through an extensive recruiting process to make sure everyone understands what is involved and expected. For instance, the board meets monthly to review the operational and financial performance of the ministry along with […]
REAL ANSWERS TO LIFE
July 2019
One of the interesting aspects of this ministry is we get a preview of what the world is really struggling with before it becomes more widely known and accepted. Historically, we have seen this happen with dramatic increases in the number of conversations on gay marriage, loneliness, pornography and a host of other issues before […]
Offering Biblical Truth Even After the Conversation is Over
July 2019
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and believed you knew exactly what they needed but there was little chance they heard your advice and were going to follow through? In those times, we often feel like if only we could hand them something to read, or use later, they might actually follow through […]
Former Resident Update: Joy Kiruba Cherian
July 2019
We recently shared how the Resident Leadership Program turned five years old this year and that we have seen over 100 different seminarians from ten different countries participate in this one-year internship program. We have witnessed how the experience gained through a large volume of conversations on a wide variety of topics has helped better […]
The Next Generation of Church Leaders
May 2019
The Resident Leadership Program turned five years old last quarter. What started as a means of increasing the ministry response capacity has grown into one of the most unique training opportunities for future church leaders. We have seen over 100 different seminarians from ten different countries participate in this one-year internship program. They have collectively […]
Taking Sin out of the Shadows
May 2019
Sometimes we speak with believers lost in their own sin. They often know it and feel helpless to change. It is not about convincing them their actions are wrong or that they need Jesus. They are filled with guilt and shame and often just need to be reminded of the power of God’s Word and […]
The Theology of Technology
May 2019
The ministry has always been committed to sharing the Gospel and offering people an opportunity to respond. How that happens has changed quite a bit in the two plus decades of history of Need Him Global. The media component has gone from Christian radio to secular radio and television to now an almost unlimited number […]
No Telling What Comes Next
January 2019
As we were looking into what changes might affect the ministry in the coming years, we saw a story how the iPhone was introduced 12 years ago. Although mobile phones were growing in popularity at that time, they were still primarily a device for making phone calls. The idea that our phone would become something […]
Are you ready to help?
January 2019
The first time we do something usually makes us nervous. Can you remember the first time you had to speak in public? How about the first time you shared your testimony with someone or walked a friend through the Gospel? Jesus was very clear. He not only commanded us to go make disciples, but He […]
Looking Back Reveals God’s Grace
January 2019
When we gather as a staff each week, we start by looking back to be reminded of what God has done and count our blessings before we look forward and focus on where He is taking us next. We thought that would be an appropriate perspective to take with this Winter newsletter. God has blessed […]
