Thank you for your ongoing prayers for the growth of the CMF nursing work. New milestones continue to be reached, including the appointment of our first part time nurse Associate Staff Worker, Esther Chevassut. We also held our first writers' course for nurses last month. Led by Andrew Fergusson, it was really helpful, leading to more contributors to our magazine, Spotlight.

We are currently producing a special edition of Spotlight, which is being marketed to churches through CPO next month. It's theme is 'compassion' and is aimed at all pastoral care givers, with a view to both resourcing caregivers and also highlighting CMF's work and that we now welcome nurses. Please continue to spread the word!

We are about to launch our 17th student nurse group, with a further two temporarily paused as we search for new student leaders. We have a record number of these group leaders attending student leader training later this month at the National Conference.

Pippa Peppiatt, CMF Head of Nursing
