As a body of believers, driven by the hope of the gospel, your church seeks to make a tangible impact in the world. Astoundingly, the channel for action is humanity. At South America Mission, we believe in the power of humanity—broken yet redeemed—to bring about transformation. Serving as bridge-builders, we connect the passion of local churches with meaningful ministry opportunities across Latin America.
The church has a missionary spirit, because Jesus, its founder, was a missionary. Today’s church continues to answer the call to “go” and spread His message to the ends of the earth. For over a century, South America Mission has partnered with churches like yours to fulfill the Great Commission. From short-term mission trips to identifying missionary candidates to providing ongoing support and training, we’re dedicated to equipping and sending those called by God.
We help churches, businesses, universities, colleges, and donors in the U.S. join in God’s work and the church across Latin America.

At SAM, we have trusted relationships with gifted, faithful missionaries and Latin American leaders who have great vision for God’s Kingdom. They lead urban church plants, Indigenous outreach, pastoral training, Deaf ministry, a music school, a pregnancy center, ESL classes plus programs for children, teens, adults, seniors, and more. We partner with churches to send teams into our ministry areas, fostering discipleship, and a deeper understanding of God’s redemptive plan for the nations. Every ministry is different, and every church is different, which is why we work with you to customize gospel-centered experiences for ages 13+.

We are committed to helping the next generation find their place in Kingdom work. One of the most powerful ways to mobilize people for missionary service is through short-term exposure to God’s global work. SAM partners with churches, universities, and colleges to send interns to work alongside our seasoned missionaries and partners. We believe that an internship experience is a vital step in the discipleship process, awakening hearts and minds to God’s redemptive purposes for the nations.

Did you know that every SAM missionary is supported by a sending church? It’s a profound privilege and responsibility for a congregation to send one of their own, called by the Holy Spirit, to the mission field. As a mission organization, we come alongside you to identify, invest in, and send out missionaries with intentionality, vision, structured plans, and ongoing support.
Cross-cultural ministry takes a spiritual, emotional, and physical toll, even when everything appears to be going just fine. That’s why SAM maintains a network of missionary-care professionals working to ensure the health of our missionaries.
