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.
