Iberoamerican Ministries — Organization Profile
Iberoamerican Ministries, also known as IAM, is a Christian mission organization based in Monroe, Washington. The organization describes itself with the words “Planting. Serving. Sending.” and works to see peoples, communities, and nations transformed by Christ through global movements of Kingdom disciples.
The organization’s core focus is planting churches, serving with compassion, and sending disciples through church planting, leadership training, education, children’s outreach, compassion projects, and missionary development. IAM states that its vision is to see peoples, communities, and nations transformed by Christ through global movements of Kingdom disciples, and its mission is “to plant churches, serve with compassion and send disciples.”
Iberoamerican Ministries serves in South America, West Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, with work publicly identified in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Central America, Sierra Leone, Spain, Italy, and the Canary Islands. Its history began with missionaries arriving in Chile in 1977 and planting churches in Maipu, a community outside Santiago. IAM was founded as a nonprofit mission organization in 1992, and the work later expanded into Peru, Ecuador, southern Chile, the Middle East, Sierra Leone, and Europe.
The organization operates through church planting, discipleship, leadership development, compassion ministries, schools, tutoring programs, feeding programs, community centers, housing projects, clean water work, business-as-mission, and missionary sending. In Chile, IAM’s Maipu churches have grown into a network of churches led by national leaders and pastors. Its IAM Institute began in 1996 to train leaders, missionaries, and pastors in biblical studies and is active in Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.
A distinctive part of IAM’s work is developing local leaders and churches that can continue extending the kingdom work beyond their own communities. In Ecuador, IAM’s ministries include church plants, schools, children’s programs, and housing projects connected to earthquake response. In Sierra Leone, IAM’s work includes clean water through manual borehole wells, medical and food-related compassion work, and church planting in rural villages. In Central America, IAM also describes business-as-mission work in software, web services, specialty coffee, and nonprofit consulting.
People can engage with Iberoamerican Ministries by giving, praying, subscribing to updates, contacting the office, supporting missionaries or projects, and following its ministry news. Supporters can give online or by check, designate gifts for specific workers or projects, and stay connected through IAM’s newsletter, website, and social media channels.

Chile Mission — Organization Profile
Chile Mission is a Christian mission serving in Chile with a stated purpose of being sent out by the church to reach people, especially children, with the love of Jesus so they may know and follow him. Jack and Janine Swanson began missionary preparation in 1992, arrived in Santiago, Chile, in November 1993, and the ministry later developed as an organized mission entity through the purchase of a ministry site in La Cisterna, Santiago, in 2001.
The mission is based in Santiago, Chile, with ministry also extending to middle rural Chile, between Chillán and Concepción. Its work serves Chilean families, children, youth, adults, local churches, and people who travel to Santiago from other parts of the country for medical treatment. Chile Mission also connects with Christian Churches and Churches of Christ in Chile and with supporting churches and individuals in the United States.
One of Chile Mission’s main ministries is Casa de Acogida “Dulce Refugio,” or Sweet Refuge House. This ministry provides temporary housing with emotional and spiritual support for parents of hospitalized children and adults receiving medical treatment in Santiago. The residence operates on the mission property in La Cisterna, where families from other parts of Chile may stay while facing burns, cancer, transplants, and other long-term medical situations.
Chile Mission’s other major ministry focus is Campo Vivo, a developing Christian children’s and youth camp and retreat center on a 90-acre rural property in middle Chile. The project is designed to provide a Christian camp setting for children, youth, adults, church retreats, marriage encounters, pastoral restoration, seminars, and future community outreach. The land was purchased in 2019, and development has included planning, infrastructure work, roads, fencing, and preparation for future buildings and ministry use.
The mission has also been connected with community ministries such as English Club, a pre-evangelistic English-learning outreach, and teaching at La Casa del Alfarero, a Christian live-in drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for men. Some of these ministries are described as dormant or dependent on additional Spanish-speaking team members, but they show the mission’s broader approach of building relationships, meeting practical needs, and sharing Christian teaching.
People can engage with Chile Mission by praying for the monthly needs shared through its updates, giving financially, contacting the mission about serving, helping with Campo Vivo development, or participating in cross-cultural service opportunities. The mission also notes its need for Spanish-speaking missionaries or couples with skills such as counseling, construction, cultivation, animal-raising, and ministry support in Santiago and rural Chile.
