Students today, Nurses tomorrow
Dear NCF Partner,
I love meeting nursing students with courageous faith, leadership skills, and a big vision for what God can do in their school of nursing, students like Holly.
Holly inspires me. Last year Holly was eager to start a small group Bible study for nursing majors. She shared her vision in a YouTube video and won a grant from Nurses Christian Fellowship to help start a new NCF group at Longwood University (VA).
“God gave me a vision to empower student nurses to have personal experiences with Jesus so that, when we take care of our patients, families and communities, we’re doing it for God’s glory,” Holly said.
She started a Bible study and invited other nursing students, including the whole freshman class, to explore how faith and nursing intersect. Holly clearly sees that nursing students need to be prepared for the spiritual opportunities they’ll have in their practice.
“Nurses enter into brokenness every shift they work. Every physical, psychological, and emotional ailment has a spiritual root that God wants to enter into,” Holly states. “It is my vision for patients to experience God’s love, his healing and his grace through nurses.”
How will nurses learn to give compassionate spiritual care? As students! Holly longs for her peers in nursing school to know God’s love for them.
Holly graduated this spring and started her first job as a nurse, but her bold commitment to God will have an ongoing effect on the nursing students at her school who are growing in their faith and will invite others to be a part of their caring community in the fall.
We are praying for more students like Holly who have a big, bold vision for what God can do on their campus.
Please help us invest in more students like Holly by giving to NCF Student Ministry. Your partnership before June 30th is crucial as we end our fiscal year and prepare for a new season of ministry.
Grateful for God’s goodness,
Jane Hall, MS, RN
