BEING CHILDLIKE - We value a child’s passion for life and dependence on God in how we think, live, and love. INTEGRITY - We value doing what we say and saying what we do. RESTORING THE BROKEN - We value taking action in responding to the physical and spiritual needs of those without voice and resources. INTENTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS - We value collaborative partnerships that cultivate trust and authenticity. RECENT HIGHLIGHTS Following are several key events that have taken place throughout CURE’s network during the past few months: Brant Hansen Radio Show: In July 2014, Brant Hansen was hired as CURE’s first ever “Storyteller.” This radio personality is no stranger to CURE; he has done several on-air campaigns and visited CURE Afghanistan twice to raise money and awareness. With this hire, CURE launched its first national radio show, hosted by Brant, in October 2014. Now aired on more than 150 stations, upcoming commercials and campaigns have a potential audience of more than two million. This opportunity to reach people across the country plays a key role in plans to generate more revenue to maximize CURE’s impact for the kingdom. Tebow CURE Hospital: Located in the Philippines, the Tebow CURE Hospital received its license to operate from the Department of Health in November 2014. This was an important milestone for the hospital, as it brought the project one step closer to its opening. Weekly clinics began on November 6, with a total of seven clinics held during the last two months of the year. More than 130 patients were evaluated; of these four were admitted, and their surgeries – the very first for this new hospital – were completed in December! International Directors’ Conference: As CURE International rang in 2015, Executive Directors, Medical Directors, Spiritual Directors, and Regional Managers from around the world joined headquarters staff in Hershey, Pennsylvania for the 2015 International Directors’ Conference. Plenary sessions updated the attendees on the organization’s strategic plan as well as developments in spiritual ministry, information technology, and human resources. Smaller breakout sessions enabled directors to connect in their respective areas of expertise. Most importantly, for the better part of a week, CURE family gathered from hospitals and offices across the globe to break bread, worship, and pray together, celebrating the work the Lord is doing throughout the network. Before departing, one of the participants expressed her thanks, sharing that the conference “was a precious time where I felt confirmed and recommitted to my calling.” CURE’s Calendar Year 2014 Impact Hospital-Based Care (CY14) Outpatient Visits Surgeries CURE Clubfoot (CY14) Afghanistan 35,645 2,613 18 Networked Countries Dominican Republic 5,523 491 345 Clinics 13,881 Children treated Egypt 471 58 Ethiopia 6,929 1,689 CURE Hydrocephalus Kenya 7,763 1,406 (CY14) Malawi 7,946 1,322 14 Networked countries 2 New surgical graduates Niger 2,994 616 2,535 Life-saving surgeries Philippines 145 4 Uganda 4,939 1,104 CUREkids United Arab Emirates 117,692 3,623 (CY14) 6 Countries Zambia 24,424 1,456 2,868 Participants Totals 214,471 14,382 $490,858 Raised STEWARDSHIP OF RESOURCES Practicing fiscal responsibility and accountability are critical aspects of CURE’s financial stewardship model.

  • Was Kabul Hospital Shooting Triggered by Proselytizing?
    WAS KABUL HOSPITAL SHOOTING TRIGGERED BY PROSELYTIZING? Yesterday, Dr. Jerry Umanos and two still unidentified US visitors whom he was greeting were killed outside the Cure International Hospital in Kabul, Dr. Umanos has spent most of each of the last nine years working at Cure International in Kabul while going back to the Chicago area for a few months each year to maintain his clinical practice there as well. The New York Times agonizes over the shooting this morning, noting that there is a “grim trend” in Afghanistan of ” a new wave of so- called green-on-blue shootings spurred by deepening Afghan resentment”. And yet, despite a recitation of the recent attacks on civilians both by the Taliban and Afghan security personnel, the Times ignores what could be a very large clue on just what might have provided the resentment for this particular gunman. Here are the details of the shooting as recounted by the Times: The shooting took place at Cure International Hospital, which specializes in the treatment of disabled children and women’s health issues. Afghan police officials said that one of the doctors there was hosting visitors from the United States who, after taking pictures together in front of the hospital, were headed inside when they were attacked. Among the dead was a pediatrician from Chicago, Dr. Jerry Umanos, who had volunteered at the Cure hospital for almost nine years, treating children and helping train Afghan doctors. There were few details about the other victims on Thursday night. Afghan officials identified the gunman, who was wounded, as a two-year veteran of the Kabul police force named Ainuddin, who had only recently been assigned to guard the hospital.

Every child entering one of our hospitals or clinics reminds us that God works miracles through CURE International — by His grace, through your support. As more and more children come to CURE seeking treatment, faithful friends like you have stepped up to meet the growing need. Generous supporters helped move a number of projects forward this past year: ● We built a new guesthouse in Niger, increasing our capacity to treat patients needing long-term care. ● In Zambia, a new training center will facilitate continuing education programs for our staff and for medical professionals from all over the country. ● We have several projects underway in Ethiopia, Kenya, and the Philippines, all of which will help us serve more children. ● And more! Physical healing is just a part of our story, though. Spiritual ministry is integrated into everything we do. This year alone, more than 11,000 people made an expression of faith as a result of the gospel being shared through CURE. For this, we thank God. Yet God uses you to set it all in motion. As you review CURE’s achievements in the following pages, you can join us in celebrating — knowing that none of this could have happened without the prayers and financial support of people like you, engaging in CURE’s mission to heal the sick and proclaim the kingdom of God.

  • Health and Charity Cure International: an Example of 'Best Practices'
    Conference Session 2.3: Justice – Health and Charity Cure International: An Example of ‘Best Practices’ in the area of Health and Charity by David S Hungerford Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Emeritus Johns Hopkins University Board Member, Cure International Introduction In 2007, 138 Muslim scholars and intellectuals, shocked the Christian world with the publication of an open letter to the heads of most major Christian organizations and Christians everywhere, entitled “A Common Word Between You and Us”. (ACW) In this letter, they pointed out that the basis of both Christianity and Islam is Love of God and Love of our Neighbor. These founding principles are pointed to strongly through both the Bible and the Qur’an. When one of the Pharisees challenged Jesus by asking which is the greatest commandment in the Law. “Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew, 22:34–40) As quoted in the ACW letter Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad said of the whole Qur’an : “The best remembrance is: ‘There is no god but God’ ...2 “2 Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, Kitab Al- Da’awat, 462/5, no. 3383; Sunan Ibn Majah, 1249/2. And what does the Qur’an say about love of neighbor? Quoting from the ACW document. “However, empathy and sympathy for the neighbour—and even formal prayers— are not enough.
