South America Mission is a faith mission. We trust God to supply all the needs of the ministries he has entrusted to us through the gifts of his people. You can find out more about financial support on the Giving page.

What is SAM’s primary ministry focus?
We believe God has called us to strengthen his church to the praise of his glory in South America. Accordingly, we focus our efforts on the planting and strengthening of local churches. Making disciples who will be godly leaders in their congregations is one of the primary means of accomplishing this calling.

We need people of all kinds of backgrounds and skill sets in order to be faithful. The first thing we look for is spiritual maturity and calling. Specific training and experience required varies depending on the term and nature of each ministry assignment.

Needs and Opportunities

South America today remains firmly in the grip of uncertainty. The new century has brought high expectations, but few concrete signs of hope. Almost all the countries are facing crises of violence, political turmoil, poverty and injustice. Shifting social realities leave the peoples of South America searching for answers. Real hope is only found in Jesus, and the continent is responding to His love. Jesus says the havest is ripe. Will you help?
