Praise God we're now up to 460 members, and we're having our first in-person NAMfest event this Spring.

We genuinely believe that we are stronger when we're connected together. Not just to be a 'cosy club', but to be active in bringing hope to our workplaces, our patients, and colleagues. In this edition of Spotlight, you'll find stories of hope from a range of workplaces. These are written by nurses and midwives starting out in their training, right through to those that have retired.

In the New Living Translation of Romans 15:13 it says, 'I pray that God, the source of hope will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.' That's my prayer for you. I couldn't put it better myself. I pray that these testimonies, devotions, and prayers would draw you closer to your source of hope. So that when you go to work or lectures, you'd be filled to the brim with hope, slopping it about and dripping it on everyone you meet. Together, let's leave hope sodden footprints all over the UK and beyond.
