SAMS' short-term opportunities are available to churches that are called to share the love of Jesus Christ in Latin America and Spain. Church involvement in short-term missions is an excellent way for parishioners to learn more about the need, development, and responsibility of mission-minded churches.

Short-term missions is also a great discernment tool for those wishing to explore a call to long-term missionary service.

SAMS' short-term teams work with our long-term missionaries in assignments that last from one to two weeks, depending on the project requirements. Longer terms of service are available through SAMS' missionary personnel department.

SAMS' Short-Term missions office is available to help you in a variety of ways. We can connect you with existing short-term missions opportunities and we will work with your church as your mission experience unfolds.

SAMS also provides Short-term mission training that all first-time team leaders must attend before they lead a SAMS' short-term mission. For dates and locations, please click here.
