Wilson-Pinto, Dana

Dana has been a missionary in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, since 1998. She grew up on her family’s farm in Butler, GA, and studied at Toccoa Falls College, where God called her to the mission field. She later completed a master’s degree at Columbia International University. After many years of serving the Lord in Bolivia single, God granted her the desire of her heart, and she married the love of her life, Victor Hugo Pinto, in October 2021.

Dana has long desired to see the Latin American church join the world mission movement. Serving as the national director of Proclama, she and her team desire to see churches in South America mature and actively contribute toward the completion of the Great Commission by being a strong gospel witness in their communities and to the least reached around the world. Today, she hosts seminars with church pastors on the importance of missions and training missionaries for cross-cultural ministry.

In 2019, Dana stepped into the role of Field Director. She seeks to lead the Bolivia team as they work to bring about Gospel transformation in their cities and the entire country.

In addition to her service with SAM, she supports her husband in his Landscaping and Design business that they use as a platform to employ, evangelize, and disciple young men who are at risk. Dana and Victor also serve together in various ministries in their local church in Bolivia.

Dana invests in this way because of her belief that there is a supreme holy God, passionate for all peoples of the earth to worship Him through His only Son.
