Reuben and Grace Larson were Christian & Missionary Alliance missionaries who began working in Ecuador in 1924. The Larson’s opened a mission station in the eastern jungle at Dos Rios (near Tena) where they started a church and a school for the jungle Quichuas.

The Larson’s were actively involved the founding of HCJB and gave many early HCJB gospel radio programs in Spanish.

The jungle climate was hard on Grace’s health and she was moved to Quito. For Several years Reuben split time between the jungle station and Quito. In 1938, Reuben and Grace joined HCJB full time. Reuben was on the board of trustees, co-director of the radio station for many years and also served briefly as president of the organization.
