David and Mary Kuck were ELCA missionaries in Jamaica from 1991 to 2014. “It was a wonderful adventure and strengthened my faith in ways I never imagined,” says Mary, who taught English and communications. David, who taught at an ecumenical seminary, adds that “the diversity of teaching experiences that I had was a wonderful thing.” To watch a short video and hear more about their experiences as workers in the global church, click here.
