Bubbly little Sylvia was born with a cleft lip, a condition where her upper lip has a gap. "The local hospital tried all they could when she was born, but nothing could change the fact that she had a cleft lip," Sylvia's mom, Lydia, remembered. Thankfully, one of Lydia's friends had heard of CURE Zambia and recommended that Lydia try bringing Sylvia here. Now, a few months later, Sylvia is free from her cleft lip and any bearing it might have had on her future!

"God answered (my prayers) through Tebow CURE,” Ruel told us with a smile.

Ruel was born with a condition called knock knees that kept getting worse as he got older. For almost two decades, people around him discouraged him from seeking medical treatment due to distrust of hospitals and superstitions surrounding doctors. Thankfully, Tebow CURE Philippines held a mobile clinic near Ruel's home, and Ruel's mom took the chance to have Ruel seen.

Now, after surgery at Tebow CURE, Ruel's legs are straight. He is running down the basketball court for the first time in his life. And he's even back in school, dreaming of going to college to become a mechanical engineer!

There are literally HUNDREDS of languages spoken in the regions where CURE works (no joke - there are 72 languages in Zambia alone). So while every hospital had multiple polyglots on staff, it's not uncommon to have a few communication barriers every now and again.

But never ones to let a challenge stop them, the CURE Kenya team has been using comic strips to help them share the Gospel to the kids they serve!

Ever since the Tower of Babel, words will always have the potential to fail us, but the message of Jesus Christ is not limited by the languages we have invented!

God's truth permeates all barriers!
