• Traveling Nurse Short Term Mission Opportunity - Across the country, there are long term care communities facing nursing shortages, including our own Apostolic Christian long term care facilities. Our desire is to provide our residents with the care they need, along with sharing the Gospel to those who work there and the residents who live there. There is an opportunity for nurses to travel to our different care communities to work short term as a nurse,  and to use their spiritual gifts to be a blessing to our staff and residents. If you are interested in learning more about this mission opportunity, please contact Sis. Megan Hodel at megan@achroanoke.org. Currently, the following facilities have nurse openings:
•  Apostolic Christian Skylines in Peoria, IL
