The LaRue Family

Your Ambassadors in Southern Chile since 2015

Bible Based

King James Bible believing missionaries, preaching the gospel of the grace of God.

Local Church

We’re sent directly out of and through our local church – no board.

Planting Churches

We’re here to plant churches, and that’s what we’ve been doing.

Sending Out

Our next phase includes a Bible institute, to train and send out preachers.

Meet our Family

We want you to know a little bit about us.

Vince and Kathie were married in 2008, and had two boys in the U.S., Nathan and James, before moving to Chile at the end of 2015. Asa was born in 2017, and Elizabeth arrived in 2022.

10 Years of Ministry

We arrived at the end of 2015 and began working.

Public Ministry

Outreach has always included public preaching and ministry.

Institute Training

Our first term focused on Bible institute training, which also helped Vince become fluent in Spanish.

Church Planting

Our second term (2020-2025) has focused on planting a church in the city of Osorno.

Our Next Term

We’re working on a year-long furlough (2026), then the next phase of the ministry here in Chile.

We intend to open a full-time Bible institute, plant more churches in nearby towns, and reach every house in Osorno with gospel tracts and John/Romans.

Spanish Bible Distribution

Making the word of God available

One of the many “hats” we wear in ministry is the distribution of Reina Valera 1865 Spanish Bibles in the Southern Cone (Chile/Argentina).

Outreach Opportunities

Everywhere you look, you can see a mission field…if you look through Christ’s eyes.

Children’s Outreach

We’re always looking for ways to reach people, including the children.

Bible Teaching

Wednesday Bible studies focus on verse-by-verse or topical exposition.

An International View

We hope to train a new generation of missionaries, sent out of our churches.

Music as Worship

Traditional hymns don’t have to be boring – if you’re singing for the glory of God!

Targeting Communities

Transportation makes travel challenging, so we plan to focus on planting more churches where people live.

Trauma Informed

Sister Kathie has studied the trauma-informed therapy approach, and we apply that knowledge in reaching hurting souls.

Ways you can get involved

Pray

God works through the faithful prayers of His people. Pray for our ministry and all your missionaries.

Be Faithful

If God put you where you are, then stay busy serving Him in your local church. If you don’t have one, find one and get busy!

Visit Us!

Chile isn’t the cheapest destination, nor the best-known tourism spot, but it’s a beautiful country and you’ll have opportunities to reach souls with the gospel

Give!

We recommend giving through your local church, but we also receive support from individuals who want to be involved.

Contact Us

We appreciate hearing from the folks that are praying for us. We’d love to answer your questions about the ministry, Chile, or life in general. Feel free to drop us a line!
