Zambia GO Team Update

posted by at 10:09 am

Amy Fann, our GO Team leader in Zambia, checks in with another update…

Just a quick note to let you know that the Zambia GO Team is out of the bush!  The outreach was a huge success.  We saw many people come to know the Lord and grow in their faith through home visits, one-on-one discipleship, church ministry classes and the Jesus Film.  It was also a sweet time of great fellowship with Zambians from all over the country who came to minister to their own people.

“The nurses showed me just the back side of my baby. I saw their faces were not happy. In fact, they looked shocked by the face of my baby,” she recalled. “I shouted, ‘Show me my baby!’”

The nurses finally complied, and Alem saw the reason for their reaction.

CURE Helps Afghan Women Find New Hope

posted by at 1:58 pm

This week’s cover of Time Magazine features a young Afghan woman who has been disfigured by the Taliban.  Time’s editor, Richard Stengel, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to discuss the decision to put Aisha on the cover and the broader issue of what will happen to women like her if the U.S. leaves Afghanistan. 

As I read Aisha’s story, I learned that she was traveling to the U.S. for treatment.  This isn’t a new story, but it is one that is sometimes difficult to understand.  The organizations and individuals involved have the best intentions, but taking a patient to the U.S. isn’t always the only option.

ARS Humano Sponsors Surgery for Scoliosis Patients

posted by at 3:49 pm

Our gratitude goes out to ARS Humano for its generous donation of more than $13,000 to treat patients with scoliosis at the CURE Dominican Republic hospital.

Dr. Micaias Perez, orthopedic surgeon, shows an x-ray slide to Mr. Eduardo Cruz, executive president of ARS Humano, and Mrs. Diomares Musa, marketing director for ARS Humano.

The money is being used to provide surgical care to children with this condition. Scoliosis curves the spine and  can lead to arthritis, respiratory problems and other complications as a child progresses to adulthood.  This donation will enable the hospital to cure this condition through advanced surgical care.

Thanks again to ARS Humano!
