Robert Kenneth Strachan (1910–1965) was the first son to Harry and Susan Strachan, the founders of the Latin America Mission (LAM). In 1945, Strachan became a religious missionary and succeeded his father's position as co-director of LAM. As the director of LAM, Strachan inaugurated a new chapter of LAM that distinguished his role in the foundation from that of his parents’. Strachan launched the Evangelism-In-Depth initiative and established an unprecedented network of mission churches in Central and South America, specifically in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Strachan was well known for his evangelism, spread of Christian education, and desire for missionaries to “latinamericanize".
