Ron Luce, President and Founder of Acquire The Fire, personally invited Needham to join the dates because of the impact of his ministry and music. "Jimmy has an incredible heart to reach the youth of this generation and we are excited to partner with him."

Nightlights continues on its successful course, as the first single, “Yours To Take,” hit the Top Fifteen on the Adult Contemporary chart and the second single, “Grace Amazing,” went for adds at CHR radio last Friday. With the spins on AC and CHR radio, almost two million fans were tuned in to Needham’s music. On the album and the first single, Tom Krimsier, PD at WBSN / New Orleans says, "We get new music at our station daily. Rarely does a song grab me right away but that's exactly what happened with the Jimmy Needham song Yours To Take. But Jimmy's story doesn't end there. When I got his album, Nightlights, I discovered thirteen great fun, soulful, terrific songs, so focused on what many of us are experiencing today. It aimed for the heart and hit a bullseye!"
