Edmercy: A New Creation

Stories | 14 Jul 2023

Edmercy was born with a knee condition that made walking painful, prevented her from attending school regularly, and isolated her from her community. By the time she came to CURE at 14, she felt broken, discouraged, and angry.

CURE Zimbabwe’s skilled surgeons provided the life-changing surgical care Edmercy needed to walk upright. And while she recovered, spiritual ministry team members spent one-on-one time at her bedside helping her navigate the trauma that had made her feel so dejected. They shared the story of God’s great love and His promise to make all things new.

Because of these bedside chats, Edmercy decided to put her faith in Jesus. “I want the old person in me to die, and I want to be a new person in Christ!” she shared.

Once Edmercy was well enough, the CURE team visited her at home, and Spiritual Ministry Director Grace Mangwende baptized her. Thanks to the physical and spiritual care Edmercy received at CURE Zimbabwe, today she walks pain-free on straight legs, enjoying the spiritual and emotional freedom a life with Christ has to offer.

“I want to be a good person,” she says. “I want God to help me in that both my legs are very well like anyone else’s, but that I live a good life as well.”
