SAM Ambassador Team Application

"*" indicates required fields

Thank you for your interest in joining the South America Mission (SAM) Ambassador Team! As a 110-year-old organization, we have journeyed with thousands of people as we follow Jesus together. The richness and strength of SAM is the community that walks together. We're excited to partner with alumni, missionary kids, interns, short-term team participants, friends, family, and former missionaries like you. Ambassadors will join us in the work of catalyzing and serving the church in South America for gospel transformation through providing incarnational touch points, and supporting key areas such as fundraising, mobilization, communication, and discipleship for appointee missionaries. This team will meet virtually or in-person once a quarter to align goals, share updates, and collaborate.

This questionnaire helps us formalize the process, understand your background, and match your strengths to opportunities. If you’re filling this out, we are probably connected in some deep ways but this will help broaden the circle. It should take about 15-20 minutes to complete. We pray that this will help us to build a strong, effective team.
