WHAT WE DO
Gospel Outreach
The Problem
OUR IMPACT LAST YEAR
International Needs works around the world to reach local people for Christ through local people. Today, more than 3.2 billion people have not yet heard the name of Jesus, with barriers such as culture, conflict, geography, religion and poverty standing in the way. We are committed to changing that.
The Problem
Breaking Barriers Through Gospel Outreach
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?Romans 10:14
The IN Gospel Outreach Model
For over 50 years, International Needs has been building a network of Christian outreach using dedicated gospel workers. Instead of sending missionaries on journeys around the world, our network supports local leaders to reach their communities — this allows the gospel to go places it could not go before.
Our family of gospel workers are highly effective at reaching the lost. Working through local gospel workers serving within their own cultures provides an incredibly efficient, effective and sustainable outreach model. In some of the most remote and hardest-to-reach regions of the world, our gospel workers are able to do more with less, making your donations and support go further to reach more people.
“The best people to build the Kingdom of God in each country are the people of that country”
— Ray Harrison, IN Founder
The Distinctiveness of the IN Evangelism Model
In 1974, International Needs founder Ray Harrison pioneered a unique model for mission work. He believed that supporting local leaders with local knowledge and acceptance would be an effective way to reach the lost. Over 50 years later, this model has proven to be highly successful.

“As he looked around, he noticed our Bible Corner and started to read. “Sorry, but can I have an hour of privacy? This is my first time to see and hold a Bible; I would like to read it for a while.”
