Cultivating collaboration to see the Kingdom Flourish in Latin America
Collab Quarterly is our initiative designed to highlight some of the work of South America Mission’s Church Engagement Branch. This page was created as a resource for your church to learn of unique opportunities to engage with the kingdom work being done across Latin America and prayerfully consider the ways your community is being called to participate in this work.

Keeping missions at the heart of a congregation is not easy: limited budgets, the challenge of staying connected to missionaries and organizations. Many churches want to do more but are unsure how to.
For over 100 years, SAM has planted and served churches among Indigenous and urban populations across South America. During these years, hundreds of North American churches have partnered with us by sending missionaries, teams, hosting missions conferences, and praying faithfully for this work. We have seen firsthand what helps a church thrive in missions, and what doesn’t. Our staff, which is composed of a team of pastors, elders, and missionaries with decades of field experience, want to share what they have learned with you.
It is our conviction that, given this legacy and our current staff, we are called to continue serving the church in North America. What God has entrusted to our team, we desire to share with congregations across North America. We’d love to be a resource to your congregation.
To do that, we have developed a workshop built around three questions every sending church faces:
Inspiring: How do we help the next generation hear God’s call to missions?
Sending: How do we identify, prepare, and send missionaries well?
Caring: How do we support missionaries on the field so they can stay and flourish?
If you are interested in having a team from SAM lead a workshop at your church, please fill out our Let’s Connect Form.
How can the Gospel reach every man, woman and child in a community? What does it take for transformation to take place across a city? South America Mission believes that the answer to these questions is Spirit-Led collaboration. This takes place when pastors, churches, denominations and mission organizations partner together with the goal of seeing a community transformed by the power of Gospel.
In September we had a group of urban gospel movement catalyzers gathered in Lima, Peru, for a time of mutual encouragement, training, and vision alignment led by South America Mission. There were pastors and ministry leaders from Santa Cruz, Medellín, Barranquilla, Pucallpa, and Buenos Aires all connected with our ministries in these cities.
We are encouraged by what God is doing in the cities where SAM is present and looking forward to seeing the movement of God’s spirit in these cities through collaboration.
