Biography

Before Dr. Timothy Nunn became a leading orthopedic surgeon—he was a patient. A serious ankle injury when he was young caused him to spend significant time in casting and in the hospital for orthopedic surgeries. “I was always interested in orthopedics, having personally seen what it entails,” he recalls. His footsteps led him from orthopedic patient to orthopedic surgical resident (after a stop at All Nations Christian College in the UK to study biblical and intercultural studies). And, after surgical training in the UK, he practiced for two years in South Africa, with a focus on orthopedic trauma. From there, he could have worked almost anywhere in the world. But, he began to learn about CURE from other physicians in the British orthopedic community. He was drawn to the mission of providing surgical care to children and introducing families to Jesus. “I visited CURE Kenya and Malawi, both inspirational visits,” he says. “It was clear that gospel proclamation in deed and word were important factors at CURE.” Prayers were answered when, through generous donor support, CURE Ethiopia was able to hire Dr. Tim in 2014. He, along with his wife and three children, now consider Ethiopia home, and he serves as Medical Director at CURE Ethiopia. “It is a privilege to serve in Ethiopia,” he says. “There is a unique history and culture, and nationals have been so welcoming and friendly that my family now see it as our home. This is the place where I have been led.”
