The Patterson Center for Global Theological Innovation
July 2018
One of the most significant changes in the ministry over the last five years has been the introduction of a formal internship program through the Resident Leadership Program (RLP). This has provided a more predictable and expanded response capability while offering practical evangelism training and experience to the next generation of church leaders. We have […]
SociallyU
July 2018
If we look back a decade ago, Need Him Global was Need Him Ministries and almost exclusively focused on answering telephone calls from Christian radio. Media was changing as was the opportunity to use different technologies like online chat and text messaging to have conversations with people about Jesus Christ. The ministry had started using […]
DX Media Direct
July 2018
Need Him Global has been blessed for over two decades to work with many partners that have helped us share the Gospel through different media. These have included Christian radio, newspapers, billboards, television and many others. Almost a decade ago, a significant transformation started to take place. Traditional advertising was being impacted by new forms […]
Anchored North
May 2018
The world is always changing and this is especially true in how we get information, make decisions and even purchase goods. There is a concept called platform economics that has exploded the last several years and transformed multiple industries. A platform is a set of components or capabilities that can be shared with third parties. […]
I Can Only Imagine
May 2018
You have probably been able to pick up on how the ministry is becoming involved in more movies. We have seen tremendous response and continue to have conversations online each week from people that have just watched Woodlawn and Heart of Man. God is using these movies to move hearts and introduce people to Jesus […]
What’s New
May 2018
The ministry has always shown a willingness to adapt to the use of different media to reach those that are running from God and church. These changes in media have allowed us to reach the lost and hurting, especially younger generations. The transition to different types of media and messages has been a matter of […]
What is your one question?
January 2018
During our most recent campaign on Pandora radio, we started collecting the first message we received from each person. As we evaluated these responses to see what was trending, and how we might better equip volunteers, it became apparent that people want to ask God big questions. In fact, a large percentage of these messages […]
What do seekers really want to talk about?
January 2018
It would be nice if everyone that came to Need Him Global was ready to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and simply needed a few simple questions answered and a little encouragement that Jesus loves them. If you are one of the many invaluable volunteers to the ministry you know that is […]
New Seminary Partnership
January 2018
As most of you know, Need Him Global has been partnering with seminaries through our Resident Leadership Program. This one year internship is for seminary students with plans to become pastors, missionaries, and ministry influencers. These students must be passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In many ways, this program revolutionizes ministry education […]
Please Join Us in Prayer
October 2017
The past few months have seen incredible disasters and heartbreak. We have watched the devastating impact of hurricanes and earthquakes as well as wild fires and mass shootings. We tune into the details of one crisis only to see another replace it within days. When these horrible events hit closer to home, we can’t move […]
E-Tech Galaxy
October 2017
As a ministry that relies on volunteers to share the Gospel, we are always looking for creative ways to introduce believers to the opportunity for evangelism through Need Him Global. We are not able to do what we do without the faithful volunteers that help us share Jesus Christ with the world. Over the years, […]
The Heart of Man
October 2017
Need Him Global continues to be a unique follow up response option for film directors and producers. Once a movie with a Christian message is seen, there has traditionally not been a place where seekers could go to ask questions and start investigating what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Need Him […]
New Volunteer Training Portal
October 2017
One of the most dynamic and fluid areas of the ministry is all we are doing to train and prepare volunteers for sharing the Gospel online. When the ministry first started over two decades ago, the focus was phone calls and different ways to share the Gospel. As technology and culture have changed, we now […]
Volunteer Profile: Anita Clowers

Anita Clowers in one of our most tenured volunteers. She has faithfully served the ministry for over 17 years and we wanted you to hear a little about her story and how she wants to encourage others to serve. When did you start volunteering with Need Him? I started in 2000 after hearing about it […]
When did you last witness for Christ?
July 2017
The lifeline of the ministry is volunteers. People like to hear about new media and creative ways to invite the lost to learn more about Jesus. The ministry has also invested in technology to allow us to talk with people all over the world in a safe, secure, and seamless fashion. However, the heart of […]
Where do you get your news?
July 2017
One of the quirky questions we ask during the interview process with ministry residents is where they get their news. This discussion always reveals things about the candidate’s cultural awareness and where they tend to seek information. I am old enough to remember the 6:00 local news followed by the national news broadcast. Other than […]
The Growing Porn Epidemic
April 2017
We live in a rapidly changing world where traditional values and beliefs are increasingly viewed as narrow minded or uninformed. Community is moving away from traditional personal relationships into online personas. The result is a world growing in hidden pain. As this change happens before our very eyes, Need Him Global has a front row […]
Happy Birthday Echo Global Response!
April 2017
For the first dozen years that Need Him Global existed it was primarily a phone ministry using an assortment of telephony solutions. Then media opportunities to share the Gospel changed and it became clear that the ministry would need to use things like online chat, text messaging and social media if we wanted to reach […]
