Yes, we need skills. But, moreover, we need hearts transformed by Jesus. We seek interns ready to serve, eyes wide open, for a deeper understanding of God’s work in Latin America. During your internship, you’ll gain a deep understanding of SAM’s vision, mission, and identity while experiencing hands-on ministry and real exposure to missionary life. As you serve alongside us, you’ll draw closer to the heart of Jesus as we build an abiding, loving, redemptive, suffering and growing community to whom people say: “Let us go with you, for we have heard God is with you.” Zechariah 8.23
Ideal for young people (ages 18-25) looking to understand God’s call on their life, internships vary in duration, cost, and ministry focus. We construct internships to maximize the personal and spiritual growth of each intern and support the ongoing work of our long-term missionaries. We also coordinate with universities to fulfill credit requirements where it aligns with our ministry.
SAM sets a budget for each internship and provides training in effective support-raising techniques. You’ll raise your support through SAM, where all donations are tax-deductible.

Yes, this is a support-raised internship. Don’t worry; we’ll provide you with the tools needed to raise support from your own community and network.
Support raising isn’t a pre-ministry task; it’s an integral part of the journey! Once accepted into the internship, we set up your online donation portal, provide training on effective support-raising techniques, and schedule regular check-in calls to monitor your progress.
While raising support may seem daunting, it’s also an opportunity to witness God’s faithfulness and provision. It’s a chance to invite others to join in the incredible work the Lord is doing worldwide.
We offer a variety of opportunities in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru: Education, Aviation, ESL, Sports, Children and Youth, Construction, Camps, Urban and Indigenous, Community Outreach, Deaf Ministry, Mercy/Justice, Communications, Social Media, and more!
