Dr. Jim and Susan Kaiser

Dr. Jim and Susan Kaiser are excited to extend the partnership between Lutheran Bible Translators and the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY).

In the early 1980’s, Susan helped establish a literacy program for the Loko people of Sierra Leone. Together with Jim they helped to translate the New Testament for the Kono people of Sierra Leone, and later the New Testament for the Chaldean people of Iraq.

Jim now consults with multiple translation projects in Ethiopia and Susan provides care to other missionaries.

Jim and Susan have three grown sons, all born in Sierra Leone, and five grandchildren.
