Who We Are Ministries

For more than a century

South America Mission has been working to see the Church of Jesus Christ multiplied and transforming communities by embodying the Kingdom of God. It has been our privilege to participate in Christ’s sufferings. Some have even laid down their lives. We rejoice in the progress of the gospel, a result of the faithfulness of those who have gone before. Yet our zeal for God’s glory in the nations has not waned.

Today that zeal translates into visible form through our missionaries and partners working to share the gospel, reproduce authentic disciples of Jesus, plant churches, train leaders and equip God’s people to minister transformationally.

Pray for: Faith Presbyterian Team in Recife, Brazil April 2nd, 2025

We’re thankful for the recent visit from Faith Presbyterian Church (Germantown, TN), who served alongside Craig and Mary DeLille in Recife, Brazil. Faith Presbyterian has been sending teams to Brazil since 2001! They helped with key projects at Centro ELIM and the Touch of the Master music school—painting, bricklaying, cleaning, hosting a medical clinic, and supporting a youth event.

These efforts prepared the space for a new year of music classes and ministry, but even more meaningful was the encouragement and joy the team brought. They were able to reconnect with old friends, see the fruit of past visits, and experience the long-term impact of short-term missions.

Please pray for continued strength and fruitfulness in Recife as local leaders, SAM missionaries, and faithful partners like Faith Presbyterian work together to share the hope of Christ.
