Vision/Philosophy of Ministry Statement
One of God’s purposes in the world is to bring people
to Himself. Nursing students and nurses have a unique role
in that they are often with people at critical points in
their lives. These students have the opportunity to give
compassion
and offer hope when people are questioning their purpose
in life, their reason for living, and also looking for relief
in their suffering. Training nursing students in how to be
followers of Jesus (our example of a perfect caregiver)
and
infiltrate their campuses through a witnessing community
will prepare them to be world-changers as they care for
the sick
and hurting in God’s world.
Our country is in the midst of a nursing shortage —
a shortage of people who are willing to care for the wounded,
the suffering, the dying, and the forgotten. Jesus has commanded
us to care for the “least of these” and so now,
more than ever, nurses need to be supported by a praying community,
cared for by others, and spurred on to continue the race that
is set before them.
