Ministering in Chile since 2005, the Thompsons are focused on church planting and teaching sound doctrine in Algarrobo on Chile’s coast.

Though born in the U.S., David grew up the child of a missionary family in Honudras. Seeing God’s Word in action in the lives of hundreds of people made a lasting impression on his life even at a young age.

When he was thirteen, his family moved to Chile to continue in church-planting. One summer at a youth camp in Chile, David met a national pastor’s daughter who made quite an impression on his life [his wife, Hanzi].

After graduating high school, the Lord began to burden his heart for missions. He surrendered his life for the Lord’s service and enrolled at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO, where he received his formal theological education.

Six days after marrying, David and Hanzi were in Honduras doing their missions internship to enter the field.
