Meet us

Rev. Mike and Kara Kuhn

The Kuhns come to LBTC from Calgary, where Pastor Mike was serving as Associate
Pastor along with Kara’s father. From the beginning they shared interest in Bible translation,
and later on Mike enrolled in the linguistics programme at Trinity Western University in Langley B.C.
The Kuhns were deployed to Cameroon to work with the Nizaa people, and in their short time in Galim
they have made good progress. God has blessed the Kuhns and their team with some wonderful
discoveries of translation work that had already been done. Mike hopes to bring some Bible to publication very soon.

The Kuhns have four children, Tobias, Gideon, Gloria, and Jubilee.
