The vision of I.N. (International Needs) Network is to glorify God and win men, women and children to Jesus Christ. Our mission is to connect Christian partners in effective evangelism, discipleship and community development.
The key to the I.N. Network strategy is our gifted national leaders. They build strong, trusting relationships, because they know the language and the culture of the people they minister to. By maintaining a lifestyle similar to their peers, they are able to reach areas that are closed to outsiders. And they have a passion to minister to their people. As these trusting relationships flourish, our leaders are able to share a message of hope for the future. The strategy is highly effective and extremely cost-efficient. It mobilizes the hearts, skills and resources of partners around the world to touch the lives of people they will never see and to point them toward a brighter tomorrow.
The criteria I.N. Network applies to its ministries are:
- They must be indigenous or "home grown." That is the vision, faith and essential expertise must come from nationals themselves.
- They must have this central aim: winning people to Jesus Christ.
- They must have the support and endorsement of Christian evangelical leadership in the country concerned.
- There must be sound stewardship so that donors can be assured that their gifts are properly applied.
Relationship building is the key. Christians and churches in the Supply-line countries who link with a national, build such a relationship through regular correspondence, exchange of photographs, visits and ministry in the local church. It also involves Western Christians and church leaders joining with nationals in ministry in the Front-line nations.
Partnering with nationals is now an accepted standard for reaching the world with the message of Jesus Christ and God positioned I.N. Network as a pioneer in this mission arena.
