Helping the Hurting: Nursing Ministry in the Body of Christ

Never has there been a more important time for every church to have a parish nursing ministry to guide members through the murky waters of healthcare, but few know anything about it. Parish means church. Why now? Because you're needed!

With a love for Jesus and people, any Christian nurse can become a parish nurse and guide his or her people through the problems that any church may encounter living in a fallen world:

• Depression • Acute Illness • Aging Parent • Live Shooter • Troubled Teen • Natural Disasters • COVID-19 Outbreak

Through skills, spiritual gifts and nursing prayers, Jesus works through the Christian nurse to heal the body and soul.

Written in the fire of the great pandemic, you’ll learn what parish nursing is, how to become one and the simple A to Z steps to set up a ministry. If you’re currently a parish nurse, you’ll gain new, innovative ideas for enhancing your ministry. If you’re a pastor or church leader, you’ll learn the benefits of this ministry to spread the gospel when nurses meet the needs of hurting people.

Dynamic parish nursing stories from around the world are peppered throughout.

Whether your congregation is small or large— this Christian nursing book is your roadmap to get you started.

You can develop a Christian nurse healthcare ministry too. It’s easier than you think!
