“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
The Light of Evangelism
Evangelism is one of those words that gets some people really pumped up while others are quaking in their boots. Some embrace it while others would rather leave it up to ”someone else”.
Breaking it down, evangelism means sharing the gospel, which is something most of us do without even realizing it! When you share your story and how the love of Jesus has changed that story or you model Jesus in your actions, you are sharing the gospel...the good news of Jesus.
Here’s the thing: Students and faculty on your campus need, especially now, to hear good news…THE Good News. Sometimes that begins by opening a conversation and carefully listening to someone’s story.
Your story is priceless and meant to be shared. Don’t keep your story to yourself, it may be just what someone needs to hear!
Evangelism Resources
We have resources to guide you and help open that conversation.
-
Talk about evangelism with your NCF leadership team, friends who are good at sharing the gospel, or NCF staff about what experiences you have had and how you would like to grow
-
Learn about how people Journey to Faith or check out First Steps to Spiritual Conversations
-
Try the Self Care proxe on Instagram or in person to start a conversation: here is the script and graphics
-
Do a Bible Study like this one that helps your group grow together in being a light in your community
-
Follow @loveandcourage.iv on Instagram for devotionals and encouragement
Welcome to New Leaders!
We are delighted to welcome our new student leaders for the 21/22 school year! Your commitment is what grows communities where students can grow in their faith together and prepare to live their career in nursing as a calling. You provide a space for light and truth on campus. Whether you have new leaders in your group or are still growing your leadership team, check out Mentoring New Leaders.

A great way to start a conversation with someone about the love of Jesus is to give them a Bible verse and a note of encouragement with a tangible reminder and our NEW penlights are the perfect gift for just that! Grab one and more NCF gear for yourself or someone else at the InterVarsity Store.

Join Us Tonight!
You are invited to join us TONIGHT for our Monthly Online Student Gathering!
With other nursing students from around the U.S., we’ll focus one hour on how you can be encouraged in your faith in the context of nursing school, how you can be equipped to integrate your faith with nursing through Bible study and discussion, and how you can be empowered to share your faith with other nursing students and faculty. Sign up here to get the Zoom link.
In Christ,
