Argentina
The second largest country in South America, Argentina has an amazing variety of landscape and climate, from the subpolar south, through the more temperate Pampas, to the subtropical north where the Chaco area carries the highest temperatures ever recorded in the continent.

SAMS began its work in the southern islands, then moved to the Chaco 100 years ago where its missionaries initiated a work among indigenous people which thrives today. That work extended to cities and towns in the 1960s with churches planted among mainstream Argentines (the criollos), and SAMS is involved in both Argentine dioceses.
