“Through conversations with physicians from many different backgrounds, I heard honest stories about working faithfully in healthcare and making career transitions. The teaching and worship were also a great encouragement. Hearing God’s Word applied to the healthcare profession and today’s challenges reminded me what is central—to follow Christ in all that we do.”
– 4th year student who attended NatCon
THANK YOU for raising over $15,000 & sending over 60 students from the Western Region to NatCon!
