Mandy Smith

Mandy Smith, who attends Burgh Baptist Church in Lincolnshire, became a Christian when she was 20. However, her Christian walk was to be far from easy due to serious illnesses in both her daughter’s and husband’s lives.  In looking after them she learnt to put God first in everything, as well as sensing a call into nursing. She later became a Parish Nurse. ‘Parish nursing has been an amazing journey,’ she says. ‘It has opened doors to speak about the gospel in places and to people you would never imagine we could meet. I have seen people go from ‘there is no God’ to giving their lives to him. ‘I have prayed with people on the death bed, where usually only ministers tend to go, and talked to people of all different faiths. I have travelled to Kenya and ministered to the sick and seen miracles happen before my very eyes. ‘We have a God who wants to use our everyday skills to reach his people and glorify him.’
