Jim Laesch

​Jim Laesch retired from Lutheran Bible Translators in 2021 after 48 years of full-time service in multiple roles in the Bible translation mission.

“The people working in LBT and its international mission partners all are very highly skilled and capable of doing the work. However, there are a few things I can help with when an historical perspective is needed or my skills in Liberian languages or a training workshop stands to benefit with my participation.”

Jim and his wife Laura reside in rural Illinois and are members of Cross Lutheran Church, Yorkville, IL.
