Christian Nurses in the Caribbean and North America enjoy an increasingly collaborative relationship in networking and planning
The NCFI CANA Region began to lay a solid foundation when its first member country, NCF USA, joined NCFI in 1970. Since that time, four Americans have provided leadership as NCFI Presidents. In 1996, NCF Canada joined NCFI. Since that time both countries have enjoyed an increasingly collaborative relationship in networking, planning Regional Conferences; being a voice in the Nursing profession from a clearly Christian Worldview. Current and future initiatives include (i) Spiritual Care Workshops (ii) Leadership Development (iii) Regional Conferences (iv) Training Health professionals through the Saline Process course and (V) Collectively and intentionally waiting upon our awesome God for His leading and blessing.
National Nurses Christian Fellowships currently function in the following countries in CANA: Canada, Haiti, and United States of America. We have contacts in several other Caribbean countries and new Fellowships are being encouraged.
NCF Canada is founded and run by nurses committed to serving Jesus Christ through their work, and within their lives.
NCFC exists to support nurses in their time of need through prayer; and to encourage and teach through group seminars, and small group Bible study. We will meet, and endure suffering, and help to alleviate the suffering of others because of the love of Christ. We are a national registered charity organization.

Nurses Christian Fellowship Haiti is a Christian Association formed to enable nurses, to influence the quality of professional nursing practice through active expression of the love of Jesus Christ our Savour; to support colleagues in time of need; and to pray; educate and to inspire others to have faith in Jesus Christ and help build a healthy, just and peaceful society. Haiti has ten departments, and our aim is to put an office in each department.
NCF is based in the USA and provides a local, regional, national and international network for Christian nursing. Local groups meet for prayer, Bible study, mutual encouragement and outreach. NCF staff and volunteers provide mentoring, vision for ministry and help to establish campus and area-wide student and professional nurse chapters.
NCF USA produces the Journal of Christian Nursing, a very popular publication that has subscribers from around the world. Nurses internationally can purchase online access at a reduced cost here:

In 2019, for the 3rd consecutive year, the NCFI CANA Region in partnership with NCF Canada, hosted a Booth at Missionfest Vancouver in the Convention Centre. The Booth was managed by Phyllis Ferrier, CANA Regional Chair and Fronica Yiu, Secretary Treasurer of NCF Canada.
Missionfest Vancouver is an annual Mission Conference with thousands of attendees from both Canada, the USA, and beyond. It provided a unique window of opportunity to promote the 2020 Congress at Colorado Christian University, and to recruit members for local NCF Canada groups on the West Coast. However, surpassing these benefits was the wonderful opportunity for very meaningful dialogue regarding the privilege and responsibility of integrating faith in Jesus with practice. What an amazing time we spent interacting with Nursing students, Nurses, Educators, and others etc. We experienced a deep sense of God’s presence with us at the Booth.
Over this period we aim to:
