Florence Nightingale
Our Christian who made a difference is a lady who broke with English conventions on how an upper class woman should live. She dedicated her life to making a difference for people in hospital and wounded soldiers. She is known now as the “lady of the lamp”. She is the founder of the nursing profession. She was a practising Christian living by Christian values. She is Florence Nightingale.
