South America has been wide open to the Gospel for decades. BIMI presently has missionaries in eleven of the twelve countries and one foreign territory that make up this part of the world. They have been blessed with good success in winning souls, establishing churches, schools and seminaries for training national leadership. However, in recent years, socialistic and even communistic influences have made ministry difficult in some countries to the extent that some doors could soon close to missionaries.

South America’s largest unreached people group are the deaf. BIMI has missionaries working with deaf churches in four South America countries, yet with a total population of over 20 million deaf, less than 2% have been evangelized or profess faith in Christ.

South America has the largest uncontacted people group in the world, which lie within the Amazon Basin’s Vale do Javari. The Amazon jungle encompasses nine of the twelve countries on the continent, holding over 40 million people. BIMI missions teams are using creative gospel centric methods to reach this vast region for Christ Amazon4Christ.org.

South America is a field white unto harvest. While Spanish and Portuguese are predominately spoken on the continent; English, Dutch, and French are also spoken in South America. Across the continent, ancient Indian cultures as well as strong Caribbean and European influences combine to create a culturally diverse mission field. Would you please pray for South America? Would you please consider asking the Lord if He wants you to serve in South America?
