South America Mission

Kirk and Emily Ogden joined South America Mission (SAM) in June of 1999 after spending a number of years ministering with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship’s University of Virginia chapter. Along with their great joy of mentoring younger missionaries, they first served in San Ignacio, Bolivia, where they were privileged to help plant two churches and revitalize a leadership development program. Kirk, Emily, and their four beautiful children reside in Fort Mill, SC where the SAM U.S. head office is located, and Kirk serves as executive director and shepherd of South America Mission. Followers of Jesus Christ who are passionate about seeing Him glorified in His church all over the world, Kirk and Emily find their great joy leading their children and family in proclaiming Christ to the nations.
