1. What is missionary nursing?
The nursing profession originated as a call of God within the Christian church to care for the sick and suffering of this world. In a sense all nursing is missionary work as we are called to care for others as Jesus cared for them. God has specifically called some nurses to serve him in places away from their families of origin and work among the poor and underserved. God has asked these missionary nurses to move cross-culturally to present the gospel using their knowledge and skills as nurses.
