Luke and Laura
Luke was born in the US and raised as a missionary kid in Liberia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and Laura is a farm girl from Gippsland. They met in Niger in 2008 while working at a leprosy hospital, and after getting married they continued to feel God’s call on their lives to work with the unreached. They have four children (Addie, Emma, Austin, and Jessie), and currently serve in a Central African country where they have been focusing on language (French and Arabic) and cultural learning. They are involved in vulnerable women’s ministry and trauma healing, along with healthcare and community health work. They seek to share Christ’s love and empower others to do the same among the least reached. They will be on home assignment in Australia for this year.
