Pastor David Larson

Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1966, David Larson is a Scandinavian missionary to the country of Bolivia in South America. He married his high school sweetheart, Violetta, who immigrated from Bolivia to Sweden as a child soon after her father passed away. The couple became born again as young adults and married soon after. As Christians now living on fire for Christ, they felt led by the Lord to attend Rhema Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was there that the Larsons began to recognize that God was calling them to return to Violetta’s birth country and serve Jesus as missionaries. In 1999, David and Violetta, along with their two small children, Jonas and Josephine, launched out together and pioneered their church, Palabra de Fe, in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Over the years, their ministry grew and touched countless lives throughout Bolivia before the family was forced to leave during the global COVID restrictions in 2019. Today, David and Violetta are American citizens and live and minister in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. From there, they travel frequently to do mission work in Bolivia. They also enjoy returning to the United States to spend time with their adult children and young grandchildren.
