Her recent trip to volunteer at CURE Niger has left her alone in the country, away from her family, and unable to travel back home to the United States, due to the travel ban.

Six Quick Thoughts About What’s Happening Right Now
I hope this finds you well. We’re all dealing with a lot, I think. Here are a few (six, really) quick reminders, all of which I have to remind myself. 1. Right now, God remains surprised by nothing. We are promised troubles in this life. I’ve heard of people who abandon their faith when things […]
The Importance of Prayer: A Servant Girl’s Faith
There’s this story we like to tell here at CURE Niger. It’s the story of Naaman being healed of leprosy in 2 Kings 5. The short version is Naaman has leprosy. A servant girl says “Hey Naaman, you should go see Elisha.” So, Namaan goes to Elisha. Namaan takes a bath, then boom! No leprosy. […]

Jesus had this crazy thing where he loved everyone. He particularly had a thing for those who everyone else didn’t really care about. He hung out with swindlers, adulterers, criminals, and children. That last one sticks out a little bit, but in Biblical times, children had a much different role in society than they do […]

Far More Abundantly
Back in early 2017, mobile clinics intimidated me. Each one was a culmination of about six weeks of work within communities up to three hours away from the Tebow CURE Hospital. We’d spend six weeks creating partnerships, educating health and social workers, and preparing a venue for the Tebow CURE team to screen patients. All […]
God doesn’t create extras
A very long time ago, when I was in high school, my best friend Jerry’s dad worked for a small movie company located in our city. They made and distributed evangelistic films. One summer, we got the chance to be in one of the movies. It had a storyline that involved teen pregnancy, drug use, […]
Who will lift my burden?
An International Women’s Day reflection based on the experiences of CURE mums in Zambia I rise up early in the morning—sweeping the yard in the midst of raising dust as it has not rained for sometime due to climate change; later on I prepare breakfast for my husband, so that by the time he wakes […]
