Fall is in full swing. Whether your NCF group is meeting on-line or in person, we are praying for you and your group this fall. If you haven’t launched or are unsure how to navigate the current campus realities please reach out to ncf@intervarsity.org. We would love to set up a 30 minute coaching call.

Join us for the NCF Self-Care Evangelism Cohort!

The NCF Self-Care Evangelism cohort is a national community for nursing students, NCF staff, volunteers, and faculty members who want to focus on growing in faith, leadership, and evangelism over the next three months. We will meet a total of 6 times. We will use the Self-Care proxe to take risks together in sharing the gospel on our campuses and in our social networks. We will try a new evangelism skill every week (e.g. making a call to faith). Every 2 weeks, we will meet for a 1-hour community debrief. Before each debrief, we will fill out a short feedback form to report back what we tried with the Self-Care proxe, how it went, ways we saw God move, and ways we felt stuck or challenged. As we test out the proxe, we expect to make mistakes and get coaching to improve our evangelism and leadership skills. If you participate, not only will you get leadership and evangelism development, you will get a free NCF T-shirt and water bottle too! Check out this video letting you know more! And then, register here!
