For the last 49 years, SAMAIR Bolivia has served countless people in remote regions of Bolivia with the love of Christ through aviation ministry. Pastors, missionaries, and medical workers were able to reach Indigenous communities and isolated churches that were otherwise extremely difficult, or impossible, to access.
After much prayer and careful evaluation, South America Mission has made the difficult decision to close the aviation operations of SAMAIR Bolivia. This discernment process included valuable input from leaders across the organization, including the program managers of SAMAIR Bolivia and SAMAIR Peru, the SAM Bolivia Field Leadership Team, and the Executive Leadership Team. As transportation realities in Bolivia have changed significantly, we believe the Lord is directing us to steward our resources differently so we can maximize ministry impact in the days ahead.
While this chapter has ended, we are encouraged that the impact continues. The SAMAIR aircraft, tools, and equipment are now being used by International Tribal Ministries (ITM), whose vital work still depends heavily on aviation to reach remote areas of Bolivia. We rejoice that these resources will keep serving Gospel-centered ministry among isolated communities.
We also want to assure you that South America Mission’s commitment to Bolivia remains strong. Our work among Indigenous peoples, church leaders, and local communities continues, and we maintain a robust aviation ministry through SAMAIR Peru in the jungles of that nation.
