Stories of Hope
This year has been tough. We are zoomed out, stressed out, and ready for spring! This time of year I am always filled with hope! Hope for better weather, hope for summer break, and this year hope that in spite of a hard ministry year we can trust God has been and is still working. Check out these stories from NCF groups around the country.
Bethany is an NCF staff in Virginia. After a rough fall semester Bethany got scrappy in outreach and posted a story on Instagram inviting her connections to engage with her around the idea of self-care, eating right, and then inviting them to know more about NCF and Jesus. Through her story she had 6 new nursing students engage with her story all the way through the last post. Four of those students are coming regularly to her NCF Bible study this spring. One was even in tears a few weeks back as they encountered Jesus in the scripture!
After COVID19 hit, the newly planted Lansing Community College in Michigan moved its NCF programming to Instagram. They engaged each day with a different aspect of worship. Monday was musical worship, Tuesday was a written prayer, Wednesday was a scripture, Thursday was off for clinicals, and Friday was prayer requests. The leader posted or asked the group to share something that was on their heart that week. They were able to stay connected over the year and they committed to inviting a friend to follow along on Instagram and almost doubled their group through those invitations!
