The legacy of International Needs is to transform lives and change communities. We believe, that without knowing the Gospel or hearing the word of God, this transformation is short lived.
In 1974, Ray Harrison, founder of International Needs, had a vision to support local indigenous leaders in reaching their own communities. Fifty years ago, a seed of compassion was planted in the hearts of visionary individuals, inspired by the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ to love our neighbours as ourselves. Through unwavering dedication and steadfast commitment, this seed grew into the global mission of International Needs, touching countless lives with hope, healing, and transformation.
To continue this mission, the Founder’s Fund was created. It provides financial assistance to local church planters, evangelists, and community workers who are bringing the message of Christ to unreached people. By supporting the Founder’s Fund, you are equipping these workers with the resources they need to further God’s kingdom on earth.
Additionally, the Founder’s Fund helps us build a lasting endowment that will continue to support these efforts for generations. Through this fund, you can leave a legacy that will transform lives and communities long into the future.
