First of all, pray.

Dalmiro and Laura live in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Dalmiro focuses on church planting, discipleship, and accountability by meeting regularly with pastors and church leaders in Santa Cruz and the rural areas of Bolivia. Laura is the elementary principal at Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center. They have a passion to see students, pastors, and leaders deepen their walks with the Lord and in so doing, strengthen their relationships and impact within their families and the communities where they serve. Pray for the ministry of Dalmiro and Laura.

CIET, the Center for Integral Theological Education in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, exists to provide quality, biblical pastoral training for pastors and lay leaders in eastern Bolivia to see them well-grounded in love, ministry, and doctrine. Please pray that God will provide the necessary resources and funding so that CIET can train more pastors and leaders. Please pray for CIET director Pastor Felix Pedraza and coordinators Joselito Chaves Pedraza and Jeff HAuse.

Mike and Marina serve in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. They have been mentoring, preaching, teaching English, tutoring, serving as SAM Bolivia Treasurer, and coming alongside pastors to encourage them (and learn from them!) in the work of forming churches centered on Jesus Christ. Please pray for Mike, Marina, and the pastors and churches in Santa Cruz to live out the Gospel’s implications faithfully.

Natalie is the SAM Bolivia team member care facilitator, but she also engages the local college community through friendship, tutoring, and English classes. Please pray for wisdom as she develops student outreach and deepens friendships with women. 

The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Luke 10:2 

Proclama works to mobilize the Bolivian church to send out Bolivian workers to take the salvation of Jesus to the unreached around the world. Pray to the Lord of the harvest that He will send Bolivian workers to the harvest field, raise up Bolivian churches to send and support workers, and give Proclama the wisdom and resources they need to support this ministry.

Please pray for Alejandro Petiga and his family as they plan to move to serve as missionaries to the Araona on the Rio Manupare in the northern area of Bolivia. SAM member Daniel Netzlaff has been working with the Araona to translate the Bible into their language. Please pray that the doors open for Alejandro to settle with the Araona people.

Daniel and Rebekah Miller serve in Bolivia with SAMAIR. While still relatively new to the field, they look forward to serving in their local church and building relationships there. They celebrate just joining as members of Iglesia Bíblica Palabra de Dios, and they look forward to learning from them how to be the hands and feet of Jesus here in the city of Santa Cruz.

SAMAIR Bolivia transports pastors, missionaries, doctors, dentists, and passengers to the hardest-to-reach places in the country. The current SAMAIR team is new to the field and learning to operate within government regulations. Please pray for the team as they continue to grow and work together. Pray for the Lord to open doors to use the tools of SAMAIR to further His Kingdom and for His glory, love, and salvation to be known by those who have not yet heard of Him.

Daniel and Alejandra Netzlaff have missional hearts for the Bolivian church and the Indigenous people of Bolivia. They have helped to plant a new church in Santa Cruz, Iglesia Remanente. The church’s vision is to “seek, know, and bring Jesus to our family and the world.” Please pray for this church and its witness and mission in Santa Cruz, the unreached of Bolivia, and the world.

This month, we pray for God’s work in Bolivia through SAM. 

South America Mission has been a part of God’s work in Bolivia since 1922. While ministry has changed over the years, SAM remains passionate about discipleship, evangelism, churches, leadership training, and community development. Dana Wilson-Pinto, the SAM Bolivia Director, leads the Bolivia team to bring about Gospel transformation in their cities and communities. The Bolivia team works closely with pastors, churches, partner ministries, and local leaders. Please pray for Dana and her husband, Victor, as they live out the Gospel in their lives and the ministries God has given them.
