give
The resources we offer don't happen without support.
Thank you for being part of this.
Whether you give financially, give your time, or give your prayers, you are part of something that is quietly changing lives, including, we hope, your own.
BNF does not have a large institutional budget. What we have is a community of nurses who believe this fellowship matters and give what they can to keep it going. The education that integrates faith and clinical practice. The prayer gatherings where someone across the country says exactly what you needed to hear. The mission connections that open doors you didn't know were there. All of it takes resources, and those resources come from people like you.
We take a gentle approach to fundraising because we know what nurses earn and what nurses carry. Nobody here is going to pressure you. But if BNF has meant something to you, or if you believe it could mean something to the nurse who finds it next, giving is one of the most direct ways to make that possible.
ways to give
financial support
Your financial gift supports the missional and educational work of BNF. It helps us keep continuing education accessible, maintain the resources on this website, support nurse missionaries, and build the community that brings nurses together across the country and around the world.
Every gift matters. Even a modest contribution goes a long way in an organization run with care and without waste.
Partner with us.
pray
If financial giving is not where you are right now, prayer is not a lesser substitute. It is part of the foundation everything else is built on. Join the Prayer Connect, submit a prayer request on behalf of someone you love, or simply carry this community with you in your own prayer life.
Prayer is a real contribution.
volunteer
BNF runs on the generosity of nurses who show up and pitch in. If you have skills or time to offer, we would love to talk about where you might fit. Volunteer opportunities come up throughout the year in areas from communications to event support to mission coordination.
Give your time and talent.

rachel's story
what giving makes possible.
Rachel White grew up as a missionary kid, came to BNF while working at a camp in the States, and has since become one of the most vivid examples of what this fellowship is for. She is a NICU nurse who spends months at a time serving at Kigoma Baptist Hospital in Tanzania, doing labor and delivery work in a unit that is often short on staff, short on supplies, and never short on need. She sings scripture over women who are terrified and delivering alone. She resuscitates newborns from critical births and teaches her Tanzanian colleagues techniques she learned in the NICU. On Saturdays, she boards fishing boats on Lake Tanganyika to reach villages that can only be accessed by water, sharing the gospel house to house.
Rachel is not fully funded. She is currently back in the United States working as a travel nurse to raise the support she needs to return. The giving of this community is part of what makes her work sustainable and part of what will eventually send her back.
When you give to BNF, you are not funding a program. You are standing behind a nurse like Rachel, who is doing the most faithful and demanding work of her life, and who needs people at home who believe in what she is doing.
