Overcoming Reluctance to Nursing Overseas
Abstract
A North American nurse confronted her ongoing resistance about living in the Middle East and later India. Through studying the Bible and praying, the author overcame her reluctance as she worked as a school nurse on the Arabian Peninsula, faced breast cancer, and later embraced the opportunity to provide nursing care to sex-trafficked women in a brothel. In each setting, she experienced God's supernatural work of changing her attitude and enabling her to express her faith in Christ to those whom she served and lived among.
Keywords: Arabian Peninsula; India; Middle East; global nursing; international nursing; missions; nursing.
