Kansas-Nebraska Baptist Nursing Fellowship Update
July 2009
Kansas-Nebraska Baptist Nursing Fellowship (KNBNF) members have been busy this spring, and there are many more ministry opportunities available later this summer.
On April 17-18, more than 20 members and guests attended the first continuing education spring seminar, “Unto the Least of These: Preparing to Serve.” Attendees were challenged and educated regarding health ministry at home and overseas. Mercy and Truth Medical Missions staff presented the conference and provided the meeting location. Those in attendance were impressed with the facility and staff, and toured the Birthing Center for low-income patients in Kansas City, Kan.
Maxine Thorne, BNF member, went to Peru with Strategic Mission Partnership in May. She worked with a medical team led by Dr. Keith Brown from Reno, Nevada. They saw 750 patients in the clinics, did 19 surgeries in a local hospital, and shared the gospel wherever they went.
Two nurses are still needed to help with Super Summer during the following camps: July 13-17; July 20-24; and one additional person August 3-7. (Contact Beth Payne at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or (800)984.9092 if you are interested.)
Nurses are also needed at the KNCSB Men’s Softball Tourney in Topeka at Rueger Park from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15. You may volunteer for all day or part of the day. (Contact John Lucas at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).)
Each year we struggle to get enough nurses to cover these needs, so PLEASE consider giving of your time to help out this year. You will be blessed! You do not need to be a BNF member to volunteer.
