The Norm Geisler International Ministries (est. 2015) is a nonprofit with the vision of becoming a catalyst for a global movement of applied apologetics. NGIM trains and mentors rising Christian leaders in knowing what they believe, why they believe, and how to apply it in their language and culture. In this way, NGIM seeks to cultivate Christ-first generations.
NGIM incorporates discipleship into the practical application of apologetics within evangelism, based on the teachings of Norm Geisler, David Geisler, and Edmund Chan. Training is offered through the ministry’s discipleship arm, the Norm Geisler Institute (est. 2018).
In July of 2020, one year after Dr. Norman Geisler’s passing, NGIM launched the Norm Geisler Legacy Initiative. This initiative is dedicated to to preserving, protecting, and continuing the work of the premiere Christian apologist of the 20th century. This is done primarily by restoring, translating, and applying the over 100 books and many audio and video resources he developed.
NGIM’s upcoming movie,”Norm Geisler: Not Qualified,” will follow Norm’s trailblazing life story to show how God raised him up at a critical time in history. The movie will introduce the key concepts he taught, and will show how his work has made it possible for all Christians to defend the faith, even if they, like him, start out “not qualified.”

Our Convictions at NGIM About Teaching This New Trifecta
1. We are more effective when our words match how we actually live fueled by our desire to fulfill God’s mandate for our lives.
2. We are more intellectually effective in our use of apologetics when we practice a classical model using a 12 Points approach.
3. We are more individually effective in witnessing when we practice an apologetic/evangelistic approach that is more conversational, more indirect at first, and builds a bridge to the spiritual from the point of their interest, not our own.
