How We Chose Thailand
It took decades.
How does one decide that God is calling to go somewhere? For both Jim and Judy Larson, the story starts all the way back in childhood.
Servant Life
How We Got Started
living for the poor and broken
Jim grew up on a farm in Illinois, Judy the child of missionaries in Argentina. We met at Wheaton College, having both been challenged away from middle-class comfort and safety. We got together as a couple via reaching out to chronic mentally ill and others in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Here we discuss our introduction as young adults past the usual hurdles of fear and discomfort, into the joy of caring for folks at the so-called bottom.
Loving People at the Bottom
This couple truly lives for the least of these.
