The Collaborative Ministry of SOMA USA and SAMS-USA trains, sends and supports missionaries who are called by God to proclaim--cross-culturally in partnership with Anglicans worldwide--the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. These missionaries engage in evangelizing, discipling, equipping, encouraging, fostering spiritual renewal, serving social concerns and promoting community transformation. SOMA is a mission agency called by God to serve the Anglican Communion and the worldwide Church: by building up and equipping the Body of Jesus Christ through the renewing power of the Holy Spirit for the transformation of individuals, churches and communities principally through short-term, cross-cultural missions. SAMS' purpose is to recruit, send and support missionaries to be witnesses and make disciples for Jesus Christ in fellowship with the Episcopal/Anglican Church primarily in the Americas. SAMS' missionaries share the Gospel, establish churches, train national church leaders, and minister socially through medical clinics and Christian schools.
