Your Clinical Group is your Mission Field

As a nursing student, you'll spend a lot of time with your clinical group or cohort. This is a God-given opportunity for you to get to know them as friends, pray for them, and invite them to explore spiritual questions. Informal conversations and thoughtful Bible studies will introduce them to Jesus in new ways.

Here are suggestions for getting started in living out your faith in nursing school:

Pray

Begin by praying for each clinical classmate using the "2+" method.

Build relationships

Build intentional relationships by asking questions, learning about your classmates' interests, finding common interests and valuing them as someone special who has been made in the image of God.

Ask questions

Learn to ask significant questions to deepen conversations and strengthen relationships.

• How to have a spiritual conversation
• Why you should ask more questions in spiritual conversations
• How to listen like Jesus for spiritual conversations

Explore the Bible

Start a GIG Bible study for your clinical group.

• Capture the vision behind GIG studies.
• Invite your friends to a GIG Bible study designed specifically for nursing students: "What's Vital?" (12 Bible studies) or "Healing Encounters with Jesus."
