Meet...Jim and Laura

Jim and Laura Propst both grew up in Kenya where their parents were missionaries. I have found that many children of missionaries grow up and do full time cross-cultural work, but Laura was certain that it was not something she was called to do.

That is until she married Jim. They first met when children at Rift Valley Academy but didn't 'get together' and marry until much later after studying in the USA. Together they returned to Africa, to Sudan and Kenya, where Jim works in construction and provides practical support for missionaries and and communities eg building and water. He helped build the house in which I live, long before they moved to Korr. 

Jim and Laura have lived in have lived in Korr for about five years. Laura is the headteacher of Tirrim Secondary School and great support to me with all things school related. Jim is leading a number of church building projects in and around  Korr. They live right next to our house and we sometimes get a lift home with Laura. We exchange recipes, stories of creepy crawlies and views on the latest Downton Abbey episode!

This school holiday Jim is taking our food shopping back to Korr whilst Laura nips back to the USA for the arrival of two grandchildren. They are wonderful examples of lives lived wholeheartedly for Christ in all circumstances.
