Powell, Dave & Rachael

– subscription plan available

Dave and Rachael Powell, originally from Michigan, have faithfully served with South America Mission since 1981. Their missionary journey began with the Ashaninka people in Mazamari, Peru, before transitioning to Pucallpa. There, they spent many years in discipleship, Bible education, and leadership development. During their time in Pucallpa, Dave also served as the Peru Field Director, while Rachael, a nurse, made a significant impact for Christ in local hospitals. After a return to minister among the Ashaninka, health concerns led them to relocate to Virginia, USA.

Now retired, they minister in their local church and stay connected to SAM through prayer and service. Rachael cares for the SAM retiree community through a quarterly newsletter with updates, prayers, and praises.
