Responder Survey Results 2025
We deeply appreciate your participation in our "Your Voice Matters" Responder Survey. Your insights and suggestions have been collected and we are taking action to: improve resources, address technical items, and offer additional coaching sessions for those who desire them.
As Responders, you are the heart of our Ministry's mission to share Jesus with those who are lost and broken. We are committed to supporting you with effective resources as you share the Hope of Christ.
The Survey Results can be viewed on the Responder Training Portal. If you were not able to participate in the survey, please know that we welcome your feedback and suggestions. You can send those to me at chris@needhim.org.

Evangelism Training in a Digital World
Get Ready for the Frontline Academy - Encore Sessions
"Equipped to Share: A Biblical & Apologetics Approach to Online Evangelism"
We are five sessions into our inaugural journey of our First Frontline Academy Class - Equipped to Share: A Biblical & Apologetics Approach to Online Evangelism. The class has been a huge success and offers a great opportunity to learn and develop evangelism skills. We want to expand the reach by kicking off an "encore" launch of the class at different times and days to accommodate our international Responder community as well as those who may have missed the first round.
Equipped to Share: A Biblical & Apologetics Approach to Online Evangelism is a series of ten training and development sessions equipping our Responder Community. The sessions are designed to encourage and equip us as we actively and intentionally engage in sharing the Gospel Message.
