Help Launch the Next Generation of Nurses

These students are ready to serve. They just need your support.

This summer, five exceptional nursing students from Baylor University, Belmont Abbey College, and Texas Christian University have been selected for “The Mercyship,” a new pilot program from Mercy Ships that combines hands-on medical service with deep spiritual growth.

They’ll spend two weeks aboard the Africa Mercy® in Madagascar, shadowing volunteer nurses, supporting patients through life-changing surgeries, and witnessing what it means to serve with compassion and courage in a global context. But they can’t get there without your help.

Each student is fundraising to cover travel and program costs. Your donation will help send them on this life-shaping journey—and any additional funds will go directly toward delivering free surgical care to those who need it most. Give now. Fuel their mission. Be part of the impact.
