Passing on Your Legacy in Nursing:
Making a Difference Through Sharing Knowledge and Resources

God has blessed Nurses Christian Fellowship with a rich Christian heritage in nursing. We received this legacy through the nurses who formed NCF in the 1940's, and from NCF staff and other Christian nurses who shared their vision of nursing as ministry for Jesus Christ. This heritage continues to touch countless nursing students and nurses, patients and their families. Christians who follow Jesus Christ in nursing education, practice, management and research reflect His love, grace and ethical values to a hurting world.

Thank you for the ways you have been part of this Christian legacy in nursing!

NCF is now developing creative opportunities to facilitate new ways that nurses who have or will retire can enhance NCF's Christian legacy in nursing. We invite you to influence the future of nursing through helping to bring change that comes through Christ-centered nursing.

(Retirees Encouraging and Supportive of NCF)

We value your legacy of...

Knowledge: Your perspective and advice about life and applying Christian principles in your nursing role(s) will bring vital encouragement and guidance to others. I will serve through gathering, consolidating and communicating what you and your NCF colleagues have learned. This process will be an opportunity to connect with your colleagues, and to link your experience and wisdom with nurses and students. A result: We will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done (Psalm 78:4).

Resources: Your gift of time to pray for NCF is deeply appreciated. The NCF Intercessor links you with opportunities, and more prayer requests will emerge as strategies to pass on the "legacy of knowledge" unfold.

Your financial gifts for NCF ministry – whether made for current work or through your will, living trust, or other part of your estate plan -- are greatly appreciated. The InterVarsity Gift Planning Office can assist you in finding appropriate ways to help NCF through your estate plan. Resources are available to help you develop a Christian-based estate plan and discover creative ways to use the resources over which God has made you a steward. See http://www.intervarsity.org/plannedgiving. Gary Kopan, InterVarsity Planned Giving Director, is available to assist you (call toll-free at 866/734-4823 or Email Gary). I thank God for his ministry.

I look forward to serving you, learning from you, and providing encouragement.
